LOS ANGELES — A radical demonstrator who took to the streets to disrupt federal immigration enforcement is now demanding a payday from taxpayers, claiming his life is “forever changed” after a rubber bullet injury sustained during a violent protest resulted in the loss of a testicle.
The individual, identified in reports from the chaotic June 2025 anti-ICE riots in downtown Los Angeles, has announced his intention to file a massive lawsuit against law enforcement. He alleges that the non-lethal use of force that left him permanently disfigured was “unjustified,” despite video evidence showing a volatile atmosphere where officers were besieged by agitators.
The “Shattered” Reality of Rioting
The incident occurred this past summer as left-wing groups mobilized to physically block Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from carrying out President Trump’s deportation mandates. During the confrontation, which police described as a “hostile environment” involving projectiles thrown at officers, the protester was struck in the groin by a 40mm foam baton round—a standard crowd-control countermeasure.
In interviews with local media, the man detailed the “excruciating” trauma, confirming that doctors were unable to save one of his testicles after it was “shattered” by the impact.
“I just wanted to stand up for immigrants,” he told reporters, framing himself as a victim. “Now I have to live with this for the rest of my life.”
A Price for Lawlessness?
For supporters of law and order, however, the lawsuit is seen as the latest example of the “victimhood industrial complex.” Critics argue that when individuals choose to participate in unlawful assemblies that threaten federal agents, they assume the risks associated with restoring order.
“You don\’t get to riot against the government, refuse to disperse, and then sue the taxpayers when you get hurt,” said one legal analyst. “These non-lethal munitions are designed precisely to stop threats without killing them. If you are standing in the line of fire during a riot, you are not an innocent bystander.”
The Legal Battle Ahead
The impending lawsuit is expected to target both the LAPD and federal agencies, seeking millions in damages for “emotional distress” and physical injury. It mirrors similar settlements from the 2020 riots, where liberal city councils paid out fortunes to injured protesters.
However, the political climate of late 2025 is vastly different. With the Trump administration firmly backing law enforcement and the public patience for street chaos wearing thin, this “anti-ICE” activist may find that a jury is less sympathetic to his plight than he hopes.
The message from the streets is clear: The days of consequence-free rioting may be over—even if the lesson was learned the hard way.
Schiff’s Betrayal: Senator Threatens U.S. Troops with “War Crimes” Charges for Fighting Cartels 
WASHINGTON — In a desperate attempt to sabotage President Trump’s “Maximum Pressure” campaign against deadly drug cartels, Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) has launched a new line of attack—not against the White House, but directly against the men and women in uniform.
In a stunning statement that critics are calling a psychological operation against American forces, Schiff warned that service members obeying orders to destroy narco-terrorist vessels could face “legal harm” and potential prosecution for
“war crimes.”
“These actions expose our service members to physical harm—it also exposes these service members to legal harm, to legal exposure,” Schiff declared.
Instilling Fear in the Ranks
Conservatives argue this is a calculated tactic of fear-mongering. Unable to stop the President’s agenda through legislative means, Schiff appears to be trying to paralyze the military chain of command by threatening soldiers with future imprisonment.
By dangling the threat of “legal exposure”—a dog whistle for international tribunals or politically motivated prosecutions—Schiff is telling American pilots and sailors to hesitate before pulling the trigger on the very criminals pumping fentanyl into U.S. neighborhoods.
“Senator Schiff is trying to instill fear into our military,” noted one defense analyst. “He wants a sailor in the Caribbean to worry more about a lawyer in Washington than the mission at hand. It is a disgraceful way to undermine national security.”
Protecting Cartels or Americans?
The contrast could not be starker. The Trump administration and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have designated these cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, recognizing that their chemical warfare against the American populace requires a military response.
Yet, Adam Schiff—the same man who spent years peddling debunked theories about Russia—now seems more concerned with the “legal rights” of drug lords than the safety of American citizens. To the radical Left, enforcing the border and destroying cartel infrastructure is a crime; allowing the free flow of deadly drugs is apparently “human rights.”
The Bottom Line
The American military is tasked with defending the homeland. They deserve the full backing of their government, not threats from their own Senators.
If Adam Schiff is worried about “crimes,” perhaps he should look at the body count in American cities caused by the cartels he is so eager to shield, rather than attacking the heroes sent to stop them.
