In the latest episode of leftist incompetency, the city of Los Angeles finds itself embroiled in controversy over its failure to prevent an antisemitic mob from blockading the Adas Torah synagogue. It’s almost as if the liberal-leaning city officials have turned a blind eye, yet again, to the plight of their Jewish population. Seth Mandel, a conservative commentator, has been quick to call out the city’s blatant negligence, claiming that Los Angeles had more than enough warning signs.
This incident begs the question: where was the city’s leadership? It appears the powers-that-be were too busy pushing progressive agendas to bother with the basics of public safety. In any functioning society, protecting places of worship from hate-fueled mobs would be a given, but apparently not in the land of Hollywood and avocado toast.

Liberals love to preach tolerance and acceptance, but it seems their version of “tolerance” conveniently excludes certain communities when it suits them. The city’s response, or lack thereof, should make every Angeleno question just how far leftist priorities stray from the safety and well-being of all its citizens. No amount of virtue signaling can cover up this glaring failure.
Of course, the mainstream media will likely gloss over this fiasco, as they do with most incidents that cast liberal administrations in a negative light. It’s almost a rule of thumb: when the left fails, swiftly shift the narrative. While LA’s woke officials are busy slapping “Hate Has No Home Here” stickers on their Teslas, real communities are left to fend for themselves.
This latest debacle serves as a stark reminder of what happens when political correctness trumps common sense. Los Angeles needs to wake up and recognize that protecting its citizens should always be priority number one, regardless of how it fits into their progressive dreamland.
