Trump to deploy National Guard in response to Los Angeles immigration protests

Trump should just move his military parade to LA to save money.

 

Add that to the totally necessary $45million military parade for dear leader's birthday. Is my 5k check in the mail yet from all the savings?

 

If only national healthcare looked cooler on TV than tanks.

 

Didn't the LA Police chief say they were being overwhelmed? I think I heard that.

 

I mean you could always do your own research and then post a link

 

I'm not saying it's a non-issue. I'm just saying it's being blown out of proportionally nationally commensurate to the actual amount of damage, destruction, etc. Deploying our military against our own citizens should only happen in the most extreme circumstances and this doesn't even come close to qualifying in my view. That doesn't mean what's happening is a "nothingburger" but there's a pretty wide spectrum of civil unrest before the military should be involved.

I suppose for ease of argument, every situation gets distilled down into binary viewpoints - you're either for or against what's happening. What's happening is either bad or it's not. If it's bad, then that justifies any response, no matter how extreme. That's just not how I look at things and I don't think that's how our leaders should be assessing these situations.

 

Who paid for the 2 billion in property damage from the '20 riots?

 

I mean you could always do your own research and then post a link. My guess? Insurance companies, not the government.

 

Do you agree with Kennedy sending in the national guard to Oxford, MS in '62?

 

That's right, insurance companies just print their own money ...

 

Unfortunately we've got to trim the fat somewhere with this out of control government spending, how about a plaque and a birthday cake from Publix (non customized - 25 candles - cant afford 250)?

 

most on here were too young or not born yet to even know this was happening

 

I wasn't around then either but still know what happened. They just don't want to answer my question.

 

That was 80 years ago and I wasn't alive, but reading about it now, it does seem more justified than what's happening today. If this from wikipedia is true, then the governor was actively encouraging more violence. I'm not seeing that from Newsom.

At 11 p.m., Governor Barnett issued a radio address; many believed that he would try to deescalate the violence. However, Barnett only further encouraged the riot, declaring, "We will never surrender!"

The riot was also the point there - not mostly peaceful protests with some agitators. A large, armed group was shooting at US Marshalls with the goal of trying to kill the black student trying to register. Again, this is about 10-15 minutes of research, but these don't quite seem like apples to apples to me.

 

That's the school that people still think of as the racist school to this today

 

I was the one who brought it up in another post yesterday lol. I said states rights wasnt just for racists anymore. Maybe there would be a lib George Wallace.

 

So maybe they should be in charge of the national guard then

 

Why did Trump lie when he said he spoke Newsom yesterday? Trump then showed a call log of calling Newsom on June 7th. You guys really need to take everything this admin tells you with a grain of salt
