We the people—criminals, rebels, insurrectionists of California—will have to defend ourselves. We’ll have to create networks and organizations of self-defense. I’m not just your columnist. I’m your outlaw. I’m not telling you this to seem cool, or to sell a country album. No, siree. I am telling you that, as an official matter of public record, I am a criminal. According to the government of the United States of America. If you’re a Californian, you might be one, too.

Joe MathewsZócalo Public SquareI’m not just your columnist. I’m your outlaw. I’m not telling you this to seem cool. Or to sell a country album. I am telling you that, very officially, I am a criminal, according to the United States of America. If you’re a Californian, you might be one, too. To be sure, my criminality isn’t entirely my fault, and yours likely isn’t, either. I haven’t knocked over any banks or defrauded investors. At least not yet. But I have chosen to make my life in Los Angeles.

Reporting in Compton and Paramount on Saturday, I saw nothing that justified sending in the National GuardOn Saturday, I went to a riot and found myself at a quinceañera. I wasn’t lost. I had headed to the L.A. County cities of Compton and Paramount to see the “riots and looters” that Donald Trump and his administration were talking about on social media. I know those communities well.
