LA protests far different from ’92 Rodney King riots

The article draws a False Analogy by comparing the 2025 immigration protests to the 1992 Rodney King riots—two events differing in cause, scale, and societal context—implying a continuity of unrest that isn't substantiated. The repeated use of vivid historical images and emotionally charged incidents such as looting, fires, and deaths from 1992 introduces Appeal to Emotion, framing present events through a lens of past trauma. It also risks a Composition/Division Fallacy by discussing isolated criminal acts (e.g., Molotov cocktails) alongside predominantly peaceful protests, suggesting a misleading generalization about the protestors' behavior. The historical context is informative but subtly slanted.
