That means they bought them and can do what they want with their property.
That's not the issue. The obvious strong message being sent is the issue. Downplaying it does them a disservice.

The more the whole thing is downplayed the more it's being said that their efforts are useless and meaningless.

Yeah, Americans abandoning the flag and replacing it with the Mexican flag. Nationalists they are! And an insurrection by traitors it is!

What's funny is insurrection is the message they're trying hard to put out, and people in support of their protest are trying to water it down to being meaningless.

Peaceful protests brought to you by leftists media
https://x.com/i/status/1932238074739630438
Leftists media? Are you kidding me? This is going to get ugly. And anyone who thinks it isn't is living in some fantasy land. Is anyone on this forum going to condone any of it? Of course not. So that line of nonsensical reasoning isn't even a non starter. But that won't stop people from making idiotic statements like 'Oh, well I suppose that you support all this violence!' Whilst the very same people will blissfully and intentionally ignore the very real reasons why this has escalated. And will escalate further.

You're in the clouds, being told by the pilot that everything is just fine, and you don't seem to be aware, but the rest of us can see that you're completely out of control because the guy at the controls has absolutely no idea what he's doing.

Like the citizen who was killed by law enforcement Jan 6th?

No, she was shot while part of a mob while invading a government facility and also betraying the oath that she took as a member of the military. May she rot where all traitors rot. Also, she wasn't shot by the NG, which was the statement you replied to.

My point is she got shot because she went too far. And if someone goes too far in the riots aginst law enforcement doing their job, they also might get shot for the same reason.

Kinda strange that Trump is responsible for both problems.

No, insurrection is just the message in your lurid imaginings.

No, actually it was a mistake to allow so many illegals in this country in the first place, and the left should have predicted *OUR* response!

So it's not Trump's fault for doing what's right. It's the let's fault for being pushovers and letting this problem take hold. Now we have a situation. And the right *will not* back down.

...Anyone who tries to stop ICE will be captured and jailed. And there's nothing anyone can do to stop it.

Trump is a master of repeatedly redefining words for his ultimate object. There's a reason he's sprinkling his comments with "insurrection" and "rebellion" over the past few days.

I was just pointing out to rjs that waving a Mexican flag in LA at any time is not plausible evidence of illegal status,
I think its very plausible that there were illegals marching in a protest against deportations of illegals which included rhe waving of the flag of the country they are from.

I don't think there is one. They can deport as many illegals as they can find. Do you have a problem with them deporting illegals?

NBC News reports that top Trump adviser Stephen Miller recently erupted in anger over what he sees as woefully lagging deportation numbers, privately threatening to fire senior Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officials over it. He demanded the detention of 3,000 migrants each day, sources told NBC.

...
and since ICE does not have the man power, other resources are being re-purposed....

This includes 1,800 agents from Homeland Security Investigations, which usually probes crimes that don’t involve noncriminal migrants, NBC reports. It also includes 2,000 employees from law enforcement agencies at the Justice Department, like the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Administration.



Of course this means other criminals will not be investigated while these resources help detain illegal immigrants in Home Depot parking lots...

How many vehicles and police cars being burned and how much property damage is considered acceptable?
There are no riots in Los Angeles. Trump is lying. The people are peaceful.

Maybe ICE should stop setting cars on fire and stirring up trouble.

I came up with insurrection from listening to some of the protest spokespeople. They declared that they were rebelling aginst government authority. Which is obviously what they're doing.
