I was working at Fox Hills Mall when the Rodney King verdict dropped. I remember the silence, the speeding cars, the confusion… and then the riots. Now, decades later, I’m living in Central Europe, watching from afar as the National Guard is deployed in Los Angeles once again. But this time, it’s over immigration. This isn’t about picking sides. It’s about patterns. About power. About what it means when force becomes performance. Not everything repeats exactly—but sometimes it rhymes. Drop a comment if you remember that moment. Or if this moment’s making you ask questions too. #RaySaidIt #NationalGuard #LosAngeles #RodneyKing #ImmigrationProtests #CivilRights #USPolitics #MilitaryInTheStreets #FromEurope #RealTalk #PowerAndControl
