You are providing an opinion. Your opinion is just that. My opinion is that this is rebellion because they are attacking federal government agents doing the job o enforcing federal law under government authority. Thats a rebellion.

And my further opinion is that on Jan 6 the national guard should have been there as well.

Today, it's immigration protestors.
Rioters at minimum. A rebellion over the government as well
And from the reporting I've seen over the last 72 hours, there is no indication that local law enforcement need additional assisatance. Trump saw an opportunity...and jump on it.
After a couple of days of this I think they do need additional assistance.

Why are there Palestinian flags? They never had territory in LA. And if they are rioting to let their territory return to Mexico rhey should have done that long time ago.

Only hours after calling the protestors in central Los Angeles “insurrectionists,″ President Trump backed off a bit. “I wouldn’t call it quite an insurrection,″ he said. “But it could have led to insurrection.”

Earlier, Trump wrote on Truth Social that he had made “a great decision” in sending in the National Guard. “If we had not done so, Los Angeles would have been completely obliterated.”

About 700 Marines mobilized to support National Guard in Los Angeles

About 700 Marines have been mobilized to support National Guard members assigned to protect federal personnel and property in Los Angeles, according to two defense officials.

Well, the National Guard is clearly not up to the task. Bring in some real combat troops to, as the Speaker of the House stated this past weekend, maintain "peace through strength"


"One of our core principles is maintaining peace through strength. We do that on foreign affairs and domestic affairs as well. I don't think that's heavy-handed."

And we completely trust your promises.
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.

Yes save civilization. Far too many on The left have ddecided that violence is the answer for anything they dont like is violence and destruction. We are seeing it far too frequently now since 2020.

Mexican flags? Palestinian Flags? All these crew of radical leftists and illegal immigrants causing destruction and mayhem. All because officers are enforcing the laws of the land and they dont like it.

Most of those things are perfectly legal to do. Some are still under adjudication.

And so because one disagrees with it its okay to riot and destroy things. These are lawless acts just like the take overs of campuses.

There is a right way to protest and and wrong way. Unfortunately violence is the wrong way to protest policies you dont like.

Apparently the GOP thinks shooting that reporter in the back is certainly a big step in that direction.
You can see from the clip in this link that it was a deliberate shot aimed at her.


Or putting the best spin on this as possible, it was aimed at someone extremely close to her with willful disregard for her safety. And these projectiles aren't like getting hit with a squash ball or similar. They can be deadly. The police are meant to aim low. But that doesn't always happen and the bullet can often ricochet. If you get hit in the head then it can be fatal:
