Newsom calls Marines deployment on US soil 'un-American'​

"U.S. Marines have served honorably across multiple wars in defense of democracy. They are heroes," he said in a post on X on Monday. "They shouldn't be deployed on American soil facing their own countrymen to fulfill the deranged fantasy of a dictatorial President."

I don’t care if you don’t. It’s stupid to think people here illegally trying to keep a low profile would go to a massive gathering of police and federal agents at a riot ready to arrest and or deport everyone they come across.

Like do you really think these people are that stupid? These are dumb, American teenage punks causing all this destruction.
Along with illegal immigrants. I do think American leftists are doing the majority of it, but you are extremely naive to believe there are no illegals involved.

How would you know this? You can tell someone’s legal status just by looking at them?

Prove it or accept it’s just your own biased speculation.

Until you can prove it, there are no illegals involved in these riots. None.

Prove otherwise.

The military can only protect federal property, they cannot be deployed on US soil against US citizens unless the Insurrection Act is invoked.
It is highly unusual for them to be used even in this capacity and this is likely headed to another judge ruling against Trump

Prove they aren't. You made the first claim that there aren't any. I dont believe it. I think there are some. My claim is just as valid as yours.

By the way, of those arrested who were involved in rioting who arrested them? LA PD? LA County? Neither one of those agencies check the legal status if the arrested. So all of them could be illegals and we would never know in California because thats how California works.

Ah, but that’s just it…. I’m challenging your claim that there were any illegals involved. I don’t know of too many riots caused or led by illegals in this country but there are many, many examples of riotous violence coming from both sides of the aisle of American citizens. From George Floyd to Jan 6 to any sports related riots, most all of these are caused, led and instigated by American citizens.

Much more likely these are just American punks causing all this destruction.

A bunch of Americans running around waving Mexican flags? I think illegals are involved as well as Americans. The fact that Mexican flags are being waved is at least something. More than what you have.

This insanity of mob mentality and riots in LA is only going to make Trumps approval ratings go up. And the Democrats going after Trump for trying to protect LE is just going to continue to cause further erosion of Democrats. Instead of thanking Trump for getting rid of criminals or for getting help into LA after they let it burn they attack him and LE. So keep it up.

Americans aren't putting up with this lunacy anymore. When you side with illegals as your constituency instead of Americans, you are going to lose. And if Democrats want another loss in rhe next election. Just keep it up.

Oh, that's decisive, To be sure, nobody but an illegal alien would wave a Mexican flag in Los Angeles, Not even a legal alien.

(With the exception of Cinco de Mayo, of course, a legal state holiday. The whole town is decked with them then :))

The only fair response to all of this is for people to take the same stance (what ever that might have been) on these riots as the January 6th riots. Are they getting pardons or not?
After they serve 3 years I have no problem with them getting pardons

Things are definitely out of control in LA and I'm glad Trump is trying to do something about it but he should tread lightly when it comes to using the military .
National Guard is fine though

I watched some video feed of early morning when forces were being deployed, It was amusing to see the Guardsmen lining up shield to shield like yesterday, then the LAPD lined up to prevent demonstrators from approaching them.

It's a tiny protest in the immediate vacinity of the downtown federal buildings. Hundreds of people, even more cops and NG.
