He gets it.

"I unapologetically stand for free speech, peaceful demonstrations, and immigration - but this is not that. This is anarchy and true chaos. My party loses the moral high ground when we refuse to condemn setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, and assaulting law enforcement." Sen John Fetterman June 10, 2025.

Meanwhile, here is a more official democrat position.

"Today. Democratic California Rep. Nancy Pelosi dismissed the riots in Los Angeles Tuesday, saying the rioters were caught up in "exuberance" during a press conference....."

He doesn't get it Mike. The vast bulk of it is a relatively peaceful protest. We condemn the burning of a few cars, any violence against police, no matter how minor, but no buildings were destroyed, a few damaged and some looting. So he's overstating the problem for effect. Trump does seem to be exacerbating the situation. Using it to cover up his failures and weaknesses.

There have been 5 Waymo vehicles set on fire in LA, a city of nearly 13 million people. Shit, there's at least that much damage in East Lansing after some recent football games ... even ones they win.

Meanwhile, there were people playing music and dancing all over LA. But you won't see that on your channel.

Fetterman is simply wrong. The chaos and anarchy are 99% instigated and perpetuated by the MAGA syndicate. My best friend lives a few blocks from the Italian restaurant in San Diego where ICE came in last week wearing riot gear and tossing flash-bangs to terrorize the diners and the busboys as a dress rehearsal for LA. Everyone in the neighborhood, which includes plenty of Republicans, were/are disgusted about it.

There was/is zero need for National Guard, let along Marines, in LA. Trump and his thugs are itching for an opportunity to declare martial law. Arresting and deporting dishwashers and housekeepers and roofers is hardly going to make America great. What it's doing is destroying us.

And let's face it. They don't care about MS-13. If they did, they'd be going after them. Look at where they are putting their resources. They are going after easy targets. Dishwashers. Day laborers at Home Depot. People showing up in court for their immigration appointments. You know, people who are trying to make an honest living and integrate into society.

They aren't going after MS-13 because they need MS-13. MS-13 gives them cover to do what they really want.
