“The difference (between) what actually happens in Los Angeles and the way it is miscarried is one of the biggest stress tests in modern media in recent memory,” Kimes wrote in his Bluesky account. “Botted Socials, AI, old clips, falling literacy – it’s like watching a broken emergency system hit by a storm.”
Videos and photos of looting have also taken the internet by storm, and because of that, companies in the Los Angeles area have gone up with some of their stores in case of more chaos.

Attorney General Pam Bondi offered a blunt message to the robbers and looting in the deep blue city on “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday.
“If you plunder a California business during this, we will charge you for robbery according to the Hobbs Act. No longer are the days of non-dissemination for looting. It’s a criminal act,” she said.
Los Angeles Law enforcement has made dozens of arrests in the wake of days of protests and riots.
