I do not support any form of violent protest. I disapprove of the LA protest that involved burning cars, damaging stores, and attacking law enforcement. To avoid any misunderstanding, I want to reiterate that I do not approve of any kind of violence, regardless of the reason.

However, I am curious about how we can simultaneously condemn violent street protests while supporting a constitutional amendment that states:

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

I agree with you on this. The fact I own firearms I see the issue you present. I do not have any answers. However, I know I must think on it, engage my mind on the topic, and evaluate if any changes in the views are needed.

This is disgusting.
Encouraging peace is disgusting?
Mexican citizens here illegally. And Mexican president is full on ok with that.
Mexico works with the US on immigration issues. Neither country can stop it. What do you want her to do about it? Send Federales into the US? The Rightwing blogosphere would go bananas about such an invasion.

The FBI and other law enforcement agencies need to find and arrest anyone funding violent riots.

And also arrest anyone that might be on the street at the same time, and probably put black bags over the heads of their family members and take them to REDACTED. We can never be too safe. Never know who might be secretly harboring negative opinions about Glorious Leader.

Tell them to come back. They are Mexican citizens. Allow Trump to mass deport back those whom Mexico allowed in here.

Why don't we just not police these rioters at all.
Just let them burn and loot all they want so we don't risk escalating things
Wasn't that tried in Seattle and Minneapolis?

They work fast. All the major cities in this American state all have Spanish names already.
Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento, San Jose, Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, …… oh no, they already captured California. Lol

You mean like the ones who were sent to the gulag in El Salvador? The ones claimed to be MS 13 or Tren de Agua or some such? Yeah, turns out not only were they not gang members but they were not even here illegally. They were asylum seekers. Kind of spoils the narrative when you are sending innocent people to gulags to die.



Among them: a makeup artist, a soccer player and a food delivery driver, being held in a place so harsh that El Salvador's justice minister once said the only way out is in a coffin.
I notice how you apply labels that are meant to make these people look better. Why not mention their criminal history that got them a record with law enforcement which triggered the warrants for their arrests?

Did you even read the link?

The government has released very little information about the men. But through internal government documents, we have obtained a list of their identities and found that an overwhelming majority have no apparent criminal convictions or even criminal charges.

By all means, tell us all about the extensive warrants this gay hairdresser has that earned him a life sentence in one of the harshest prisons on the planet. What do you have?

Let all the illegals out in ICE custody too. That is what they are demanding.

Right. She could not possibly believe that the deportations are being carried out in an illegal manner.

Of course not. Anything to justify keeping them here so she doesn't have to deal with them there anymore.

FBI arrests East LA man for allegedly distributing face shields during protests

An East Los Angeles neighborhood awoke to "flashbangs, some explosions" early Thursday morning as federal agents arrested a man on an allegation of distributing face shields to "suspected rioters," according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli wrote on X that "Alejandro Theodoro Orellana was arrested this morning by @FBILosAngeles on an allegation of Conspiracy to Commit Civil Disorders (18 USC 371) for distributing face shields to suspected rioters on Tuesday."
