    I think it is hard to know for sure what came from this year vs what might be from 2020. A lot of the videos look very similar as most people are masked up to hide their identities and police uniforms do not very that much. The addition of AI platforms to social media sites are helping to start figuring that out.

    So, what I'm hearing you say is that it was great how fast Trump responded

    I should get my 9-year-old nephew to take over from here. The guard is there because a raid took place on a business that was conducting illegal activities which involved illegal immigrants. Several of the people arrested as a result of the raid had criminal warrants. The left seems to be OK with that business continuing to conduct operations and OK with the people who were arrested remaining a part of our society. They proved this by rioting and assaulting ICE officers because of the raid. After receiving no help from government officials in LA or the state of CA, and with the support of the American people, Trump sent our national guard in to protect our ICE agents along with federal property which was being vandalized. It's really that simple. But you keep believing what Rachel tells you. As I stated before, it's benefiting the democrat party. Really, it is.

    None of this explains why the national guard and US marines need to be present, people who arent trained in law enforcement, immigration, crowd control/civil unrest and policing in general. These are people that fill sand bags before hurricanes and/or invade other countries.

    Yet, I bet you were all for Kennedy sending the guard to Oxford, MS back in '62. Your remarks are getting more desperate by the post.

    It was so great that he took credit for success before the troops had even arrived

    Rigging the election caused some Americans to resist the steal. That's on the Democrats. They wanted a quasi election with massive mail-in ballots, the pausing of vote counting and so on

    Pour one out for all the forgotten people getting their bikes stolen in cities not under military occupation. I guess the president isnt strong enough to prevent violence and crime around the country by sending in the troops.

    The LA "protests" are about 1% as big as those from 2006 in support of a Senate amnesty bill (that was defeated on the House). The 2006 protests were also very peaceful. Just like the BLM riots, the people pulling the strings in 2025 and wanting violence are Democrats. (Democrat patriots)

    This story strikes me similar to when hurricanes hit Florida. The national perception is that the entire area is destroyed, which all of us can attest to from receiving worried texts or calls from out of state family, friends, and coworkers, while the reality is that 99% of people are not impacted at all or minimally impacted. When the NY Post cover was posted here, I checked the LA Times and it's much less apocalyptic. Anyone burning Waymos or throwing rocks at police should be arrested but it's not as if Los Angeles is burning to the ground. Certainly doesn't warrant sending in the marines imo.

    I think people should be allowed to burn Waymos even under normal circumstances. Shit, these companies broke more laws and regulations trying to push and test these things on public roads and wont even disclose their safety records. If you "move fast and break things," we should be allowed to break your things, fast. :)
