Some people are calling this a “pogrom”. It was at best a low-level riot against Jews by Islamic terrorist supporters and Antifa with the complicity of local Los Angeles authorities. I have an article with more to say about it, but the videos speak for themselves.
The target was Congregation Adas Torah (Congregation of the Bible) but the pro-terror rally spread out to two adjoining synagogues and then the violence spread out past Kosher restaurants, a Jewish school and to nearby residential streets on both sides of Pico Blvd in the Pico Robertson neighborhood where the Hamas rioters freely attacked Jews.
Some Jewish community members stood up to them.
The LAPD was slow to intervene and generally ineffective. The failure to once again confine the hate mob to a protest zone allowed the violence to continue escalating. This was the same thing that had happened at the Museum of Tolerance and in other instances. Despite the killing of Paul Kessler at a protest where the sides were not separated, LA authorities continue allowing Hamas supporters free access to their Jewish targets.
And after 8 months at some point that can’t simply be dismissed as incompetence.
I must have watched this video 20 times or more because as I watch it, I find myself feeling significant trauma that this Jew hatred is here in our backyard and it feels surreal. This ‘protest’ began in front of a synagogue . How can anyone suggest this is anything but… pic.twitter.com/WJxVHBKBr3

There were multiple insistances of Jewish community members being maced/bear sprayed with no police response
the LAPD was deployed in riot gear but did nothing for nearly an hour, failed to separate protesters from counterprotesters, intervene or put up barriers pic.twitter.com/OQ4Vh83gIc

🚨INSANE FOOTAGE: Protestor stops, looks at our on-the-scene reporter @camhigby and bear sprays him directly in eyes only feet away.

After the attack, Rabbi @ASufrin escorted me away from the melee in the streets, brought me to safety and gave me water. I never saw his face, until I reviewed the footage. He didn’t know who I was, and I didn’t know who he was, but he helped me any way.

the last time this happened the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors voted to fund legal fees for the terrorist attackers https://t.co/9f4PA2Iv5K

Why do these Hamas thugs feel empowered to come into the Pico Robertson neighborhood at the Adas Torah synagogue on Pico Blvd and threaten Jews?
Because Los Angeles Democrats have their back. pic.twitter.com/OLJMQckub5

What I saw at the terrorist rally outside Congregation Adas Torah (Congregation of the Bible) in Los Angeles
The LAPD allowed terrorist supporters to occupy both sides of the synagogue while keeping Jewish counterprotesters out. Only a narrow protected lane allowed access. pic.twitter.com/ztUh6yLqWP

this is exactly how it had previously played in the attack by terrorist supporters on the nearby Museum of Tolerance and at UCLA with the LAPD standing there and doing nothing until the violence escalated pic.twitter.com/wjra3U2mht

Hamas supporters were able to freely roam around a Jewish neighborhood in the Pico-Robertson area threatening people
a Muslim man in a keffiyeh told me "billions will come to kill you"
some clearly came prepped for violence like this guy wearing ski goggles in 90 degree weather pic.twitter.com/SfiCLhDstz

Many Jewish community members, including teenage girls and families, took a risk by coming to what they thought would be a safe rally only to face violence and threats
this is a failure by Mayor @KarenBassLA and the @911LAPD but also by the Jewish community leadership which pic.twitter.com/lfVjhnPJTG

failed to
1. control the ground in front of the synagogue
2. set up a rally zone
3. set up a sound system
4. maintain security beyond a few roving outnumbered Magen Am volunteers pic.twitter.com/Ms3BjfRAyx

The search for 'Orange Shirt'
Can anyone identify 'Orange Shirt' one of the attackers in the Congregation Adas Torah antisemitic attacks in Pico Robertson?
While he mostly wore a mask, I have one image of him unmasked
Here he is confronting a man and woman while masked pic.twitter.com/ieaT4bUiOl

The violence was bad enough that politicians have condemned it (rather than the specific perpetrators) even as the media, including the LA Times, predictably describes “clashes erupting between both sides” condemning the Muslims and Marxists who attacked a synagogue and the Jews who didn’t want their synagogue attacked.
