…mobs attacking ICE and federal facilities/officers.

Since LAPD was slow to respond…the California Guard has been called out. Gavin Newsom lost his mind over it.

Since LAPD was slow to respond…the California Guard has been called out. Gavin Newsom lost his mind over it.

This is what the New York Times reported about CA’s response:

Gov. Gavin Newsom confirmed the call-up. “The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers,” he said in a statement. “That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.”

Mayor Karen Bass of Los Angeles toed a line between condemning the deployment of National Guard troops in the region and issuing a stern warning to protesters. “Reports of unrest outside the city, including in Paramount, are deeply concerning. We’ve been in direct contact with officials in Washington, D.C., and are working closely with law enforcement to find the best path forward,” she said in a statement. “Everyone has the right to peacefully protest, but let me be clear: Violence and destruction are unacceptable, and those responsible will be held accountable.”

Doesn’t seem like anyone “lost his mind” over anything. In fact, it seems like a calm, thoughtful, and logical response.

I would say Trump has “lost his mind” over it, but you can’t lose something you never had in the first place.

Dope1: …mobs attacking ICE and federal facilities/officers.

Huh.

You mean like on January 6?

Mad King Donald incited a mob and sparked a violent riot.

He then pardoned the attackers.

And you guys applaud him.

Now he says he won’t tolerate attacks against law enforcement but what he really means is, "Holy shit, I have to get the media off of my pedophilia and those Jeffrey Epstein files, and fast!"

I mean, ask yourself this: did Mad King Donald send in the troops to ferret out agricultural workers in Kristi Noem's state or meatpackers in Sarah Huckabee Sander's state?

Nope.

California was the plan all along.

Perhaps you remember who said this: “If he’s [president Biden] willing to do that and take away my authority as governor as commander-in-chief of those National Guard, boy, we do have a war on our hands.”

States rights my ass.

Insurrection Act…………coming soon to a city or town near you.

Stephen Miller is yelling into the FOXNews camera that what’s going on in LA is an “insurrection”

Probably this week- just in time to tamp down attendance at “No Kings” protests next Saturday.

Oh- and there have been no independent corroborations of ICE’s version of what actually occured.

Doesn’t seem like anyone “lost his mind”

Lol. Bass’ original statement was something else.

Oh- and there have been no independent corroborations of ICE’s version of what ac

You mean besides the rocks through windshields and “Kill ICE” written on the buildings?

So the Fox News guy, Hegseth, is in charge of some National Guard personnel in LA. What could possibly go wrong?? Kent State here we come.

Tribal Civil Wars :)

This won't be the last time this happens and - it will happen under other presidents and other parties too.

Boom.

I'm winning.

One day shoe will be on the other foot.

If the citizens insist on driving gas guzzlers or using BBQ grills it's contributing to Global Warming and it's a national security threat.

Send in the National Guard.

(Hoping the Left participates too...... we need to see "both sides do it") and I think there will be many opportunities.

Now toss in worker displacement due to technology one day. And they'll be angry. bitter, and armed.

And raised in bad culture.

I dont. Even.Want. To. Get my hopes up.

Save something for the honeymoon right?

Dope1: You mean besides the rocks through windshields and “Kill ICE” written on the buildings?

Here's the LAPD's official statement:

Today, demonstrations across the City of Los Angeles remained peaceful, and we commend all those who exercised their First Amendment rights responsibly. The Los Angeles Police Department appreciates the cooperation of organizers, participants, and community partners who helped ensure public safety throughout the day.

While today's events concluded without incident, the Los Angeles Police Department remains fully prepared to respond swiftly and appropriately to any potential civil unrest. Our commitment to safeguarding the rights, safety, and well-being of all Angelenos continues -- day and night.

We will maintain a heightened readiness posture and remain ready to ensure the continued safety of our communities.

"Remained peaceful." The LAPD, fercryinoutloud.

Stop being led around by the nose by Fox "News," X idiots, and The Mad King.

The Mad King is provoking this, just like on Jan 6.

You mean besides the rocks through windshields and “Kill ICE” written on the buildings?

ICe is claiming crowds started the violence while accounts and videos show ICE initiating.

Of course, as I said two weeks ago, Herr Drumpf is chomping at the bit to invoke the Insurrection Act, declare martial law and put government intimidation in place before next weekend’s protests.

Stephen Miller is even helping that cause by screaming “It’s an insurrection!”

And Pete Hegseth is creaming his pants, dying to send in the Marines.

The traitorous, am-moral dictator is getting ready to declare war on the American people. Which side will you be on? There’s still time to get on the right side, dope, but that time is slipping away.

ICe is claiming crowds

Because they did. In LA and New York.

The left is full of psychotic, spoiled children. They think they can smash things up and there aren’t any consequences.

FA.
FO.

Put sanctions on Gavin and California.

Just like Russia and Putin

Remained peaceful

Stop being led around by the nose by Fox "News," X idiots, and The Mad King. - CO

=====================

Perhaps it is your side that is being led around!

I saw this morning (on Fox News since that seems to matter so much with your side). To be clear, Fox showed video of the events, it was not just a reporter reading a script telling the audience what happened.

I saw with my own eyes, videos of 1) a burning police car in the middle of an intersection while being circled by two guys on a motor cycle with the guy in the rear waving The Mexican Flag and 2) an "artist" dressed in black, face and head covered in black, spray painting "Kill ICE" on a dumpster. All around, throngs of supporters shoving and struggling with police and cheering on the vandalism and mayhem that was underway.

"Kill" Does that sound peaceful to you?

What is your reaction to my observation.

1. BHM, you are delusional and even though they seem real to you, these things did not happen except in your imagination.

2. BHM you made this up just to troll the board and/or stir up racial hatred.

3. BHM, the video you saw was fake news produced on a sound stage at Mar-a-lago. (If so, the production values were amazing with scripting costuming all those extras and the smoke and burning being so realistic.)

4. Allowing that just a sliver of the actual violence might be true. You are still free to hate Donald Trump of course.

I saw with my own eyes, videos of 1) a burning police car in the middle of an intersection while being circled by two guys on a motor cycle with the guy in the rear waving The Mexican Flag and 2) an "artist" dressed in black, face and head covered in black, spray painting "Kill ICE" on a dumpster. All around, throngs of supporters shoving and struggling with police and cheering on the vandalism and mayhem that was underway.

Your narrative doesn’t say who started the violence and how.

And I saw video of a young woman waving an American flag who was pelted with tear gas cannisters by authorities.


bighairymike: "Kill" Does that sound peaceful to you?

Did "Hang Mike Pence!" sound peaceful to you? Those guys were all pardoned.

Mad King Donald called the attack on the Capitol "a beautiful day' and refused to send the National Guard in to stop the riot but you're okay with Mad King Donald misusing a federal provision not used in 60 years — and then only used to protect demonstrators — that requires imminent risk of rebellion.

BTW, the Guard, as activated, cannot be used for law enforcement.

But then we have an authoritarian hoping to become a full-on fascist in the White House.

Shameful, buddy, shameful.

The left is full of psychotic, spoiled children.

Says the guy who ignores MAGA violent attack on police that led to serious injuries and deaths. Just legitimate political discourse.

I’ve heard of rose-colored glasses. Apparently, you own a pair of bullshit colored glasses.

Your narrative doesn’t say who started the violence and how.

The whole thing started with left wing disinformation that ICE was picking up day laborers at a Home Depot.

Come to think about it, I can see why that would honk off so many libs - they certainly aren’t going to hire legit businesses to do stuff nor would they do it themselves.

Says the guy who ignores MAGA

Oh? When was that?

I’ve said repeatedly that lawbreakers go to jail.

Nah, bruv. You’re saying things you WISHED I would have said, because you think it would give you a leg to stand on, argumentatively.

I’ve told you for years what the left is and what signals democrats were sending. And guess what?

You were heard.

This is on you.

Tin Soldiers and Trump is coming.

How long before there are dead Americans in the streets ??
3.5 more years of this bullshit, all signs are saying that it's gonna get ugly.

Going to be just like the 60s and early 70s ?
Todays MAGA is the equivalent of the Nixon supporters. They'll cheer on dead or injured
libtard's. The tenets of Law mean nothing to MAGA.

Why are the ICE agents masked ? Are they ashamed of the job they're performing ?
Or are they doing their best KKK impersonation ?
I think they relish attacking Americans, so I'd have to say they are junior KKK.

I am not sure why you didn't answer the question if you know the answer? Are you hiding something like ICE is hiding behind a mask?

I think you know very well why and it is not either of these reasons.

Amazing how these guys are coming out of the woodwork.

I’ll just say it: they’re masked because the left is doxxing them and threatening their families.

I am not sure why you didn't answer the question if you know the answer? Are you hiding something like ICE is hiding behind a mask?

Here, I’ll answer:
It’s because the left’s SA is busy threatening them and their families.

It’s interesting how many on this board are okay with that.

Let’s see the “mostly lawful” left wing brain trust in action:

Spoiler alert: Light that b1tch up!

Exactly as peaceful as “Hang Mike Pence”. So where was the national guard then?

Trump pardoned more than 1500 violent thugs who violently attacked the capitol on his behalf on January 6.

Do you condone that?

Trump pardoned more than 1500 violent thugs who violently attacked the capitol on his behalf on January 6.

Who the Republicans have now decided are eligible or employment in Homeland Security.

Trump is building up his army of Brown Shirts.

Who the Republicans have now decided are eligible or employment in Homeland Security.

Valid reason to kill any member of Homeland Security. They are *already* publicly documented as violent criminals who use guns and other weapons to attack people, so it is an automatic "Self Defense" claim, which a judge can not refute, when any unidentified individual attempts to stop anyone for any reason.

“ Let’s see the “mostly lawful” left wing brain trust in action:“. Peaceful fire and peaceful rocks, oh my. Are they asking why no national guard on Jan 6th?

I'm reminded of the bit of 1984 where the masses were told they weren't at war with Eurasia, but we're always at war with Eastasia, and the crowd tore all the posters off the walls saying they were at war with Eurasia. They accepted whatever they were fed, and destroyed anything that contradicted it.

That's maga. The LAPD will be ignored in favor of the maga-approved narrative.

The democrats are lighting their own party on fire. They just can’t bring themselves to condemn the riots and in fact a bunch of them won’t even call them riots at all.

They can ride this train all the way to oblivion. America deserves two viable political parties. Maybe the one that replaces the d’s will be more reasonable.

So where was the national guard then?

Waiting for a phone call.

I’ve said repeatedly that lawbreakers go to jail.

But Jan 6 was a pic-a-nic. Booboo confirms it. You can see all the pic-a-nic baskets left by the gallows as the peaceful procession ascended the walls and climbed the stairs, assisting the police to get up with leverage sticks, helping them through the doors, and treating them with quiet dignity. We were invited and urged to go there by the President and his minions.

But Jan 6…is a thing you folks think you can chant that lets the democrats off the hook every single time the left screws up.

Which is pretty much daily.

No, this mess is on Newsom, Bass, Biden, Harris and the media.

Dope is this real ? https://www.facebook.com/share/v/15Sp7d6ZTM/?mibex...

Dope1: The democrats are lighting their own party on fire.

I'd rather lose an election or two than support an autocratic thug who's a stone cold pathological liar clearly trying to escalate violence at every opportunity by posting incendiary messages and urging his masked, armed brown shirts to shoot protesters and journalists in between raiding restaurants to snatch busboys, or Home Depot to grab stock clerks and day laborers, proudly preventing immigrants from stealing those dream jobs of pulling weeds and painting sheds for $80 a day from real Americans.

It's pretty clear which side today's republicans would have cheered back in 1930s Germany.

Yep. That’s your “mostly lawful” protest that the media keeps describing.

" Yep. That’s your “mostly lawful” protest that the media keeps describing."

Thanks, so are you telling me that if I unblock the usual suspects, they would be arguing that these are peaceful protests? Seriously? I would ask WHO, lol, is suggesting this is peaceful but I'm sure I already know. Off to the park, have a grand day trying to change minds in America. Unbelievable.

But Jan 6…is a thing you folks think you can chant that lets the democrats off the hook

No. It doesn’t let anyone off the hook.

Bringing up Jan 6 highlights the hypocrisy of the right. How many in the right tried to pass off Jan 6 as nothing more than a peaceful protest? Hint - an awful lot, from people here all the way up to the President.

And now the President has gone so far as to pardon the Jan 6 criminals while calling for maximal enforcement against the LA rioters.

The problem is not the left, who generally agrees that both Jan 6 and the current LA riots are criminal activity. The problem is the hypocritical right, following the lead of Donald Trump, who thinks that only one of these events was criminal.

—Peter

Thanks, so are you telling me that if I unblock the usual suspects, they would be arguing that these are peaceful protests?

They’re actively avoiding talking about it at all; instead they’re being human kewpie dolls - somebody pulls on the string and they spout “J6! J6! Trump!”. I’m not sure what the intent is, there.

Bringing up Jan 6 is your Tourette’s syndrome. You can’t help yourselves.

And rather than address the issue of democrat politicians ACTIVELY SAYING “ICE, get the f out of our city” and “we won’t stand for this” (direct quotes, btw), you’re trying to make it about other people.

Consider that highly flawed premise rejected.

Your party has put into place incentives that have led straight to this moment. You created this, you were warned what it would lead to and rather than be adults and admit you were wrong you’re in deflection mode.

That dog just don’t hunt.

And here’s the left’s next tactic: it’s all Trump’s fault for escalating.

In the coming days, you’re going to see an enormous effort by the Democrats and large swaths of the media to declare that if U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had never tried to enforce immigration law in Los Angeles, the city would not be beset by so much widespread violence and unrest this past weekend. Implicit in that argument is the idea that Los Angeles city and county are so primed for violence, such a powder keg of anarchic malcontents, that the U.S. government must simply throw up its hands and concede that it cannot enforce immigration law there. You see, this reflects how the likes of Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass approach governing — when a task is too difficult, they just don’t even make the attempt.

That’s Jim Geraghty.

The LAPD chief just blew away the left's narrative, and sunk Newsom's lawsuit to stop the National Guard deployment:
https://x.com/TheKevinDalton/status/19319242378304...

We saw the first night was bad, what we've seen subsequent to that is getting increasingly worse and more violent. TOnight we had individuals out there shooting commercial grade fireworks at our officers (Note: that's a common Antifa tactic). That can kill you. We have adapted our tactics to be able to have a chance to be able to take these people into custody and to hold them accountable.

We are overwhelmed as far as the number of people out there engaged in this type of activity and the types of things that they're doing. They'll take backpacks and the backpacks will have a cinder block and a hammer in it and they'll use the hammer to break up the cinder block and use that to throw at our officers, to throw at cars and at other people.

...There's no limit to what they're doing to our officers.

He went on. He was asked, do we need the National Guard?

https://x.com/townhallcom/status/19319167831092061...

Do we need them? Looking at tonight, this thing has gotten out of control.

Then he said, "Before I can answer that I'd need to know more about what their capabilities are". But the real answer is hell yes, we need the Guard.

Dope1: The LAPD chief just blew away the left's narrative...


Funny, but he didn't blow anything anyway because you left this out:

Later in the same news conference, McDonnell said he believed those responsible for the violence were not the same as those protesting against immigration-enforcement activity.

“When I look at the people who are out there doing the violence, that’s not the people that we see during the day who are legitimately out there exercising their First Amendment rights to be able to express their feelings about the immigration enforcement issue,” he said.

We've said all along that most of the protesters were peaceful. Those who are acting violently are not the protesters, they're professional agitators and it's impossible to know if they're from the left or right unless and until they're arrested... and democrats believe those committing violence should be arrested. Republicans believe in pardoning them.

BTW, here's an Australian reporter being shot by the LAPD for doing her job: https://bsky.app/profile/luckytran.com/post/3lr5am...

So where was the national guard then?

Waiting for a phone call.

Spankee wouldn't call because there were no children to be molested.

We've said all along that most of the protesters were peaceful. Those who are acting violently are not the protesters

And yet, there's a riot on and the dumb local media wants to say it's "people having fun watching cars burn" or whatever that idiot said.

According to the left, it's ALWAYS the fault of some "outside agitator".

.. and democrats believe those committing violence should be arrested

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. No you don't.
The LAPD just told you this is out of control, and your Gavin Newsom is going to sue - unsuccessfully - to have the Guard removed. And oh, yeah - all the democrat governors just signed on with him.

I'd rather lose an election or two than support an autocratic thug who's a stone cold pathological liar

You already did. His name was Joe Biden.

It's pretty clear which side today's republicans would have cheered back in 1930s Germany.

And there it is.

"Trump’s attempt to distract us with this National Guard shit can mean only one thing: he’s DEFINITELY in the Epstein Files." ~Andy Borowitz

MAGA Hypocrisy 101...

"Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers," says Trump, who four months ago pardoned people who beat police officers with pipes,
flagpoles, baseball bats and 2-by-4s at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Dope's not even sure what he believes anymore...

They can ride this train all the way to oblivion. America deserves two viable political parties. Maybe the one that replaces the d’s will be more reasonable.


The democrat party is disappearing right before our eyes. The Democrat Party has lost its way.
Sane thinking democrats are leaving their party in droves.
They are disgusted with their leaders giving illegal aliens their first priority
instead of the working class Americans they no longer support.

raiding restaurants to snatch busboys, or Home Depot to grab stock clerks and day laborers, proudly preventing immigrants from stealing those dream jobs of pulling weeds and painting sheds for $80 a day from real Americans.

Ya, you forgot dems also need illegals to wipe their arse. You’ll have to do it yourself.
Just ask Becca Balint.

Bringing up Jan 6 is your Tourette’s syndrome. You can’t help yourselves.

Nope.

January 6 shows the complete moral failure of those who now give their blessing to police cracking heads as long as the cracked heads aren’t wearing MAGA hats and waving Confederate flags.

And let’s look at the contrast between law enforcement tactics at the Capitol ON 1/6 vs tactics of ICE in LA. on Saturday…. Trump’s game is to escalate the conflict, and rioters should know that they are following Trump’s authoritarian playbook when they torch a car. That simply gives him the excuse to tighten the screws further…. Which is EXACTLY what he wants to do.

When I look at the people who are out there doing the violence, that’s not the people that we see during the day who are legitimately out there exercising their First Amendment rights to be able to express their feelings about the immigration enforcement issue,” he said.

Unfortunate for both sides of this conflict- each side has its share of accelerationists who glom on to any protest and seek to co-opt it to violent ends. The right has its Boogaloo boys and other militia/hate group types who want to provoke a race war, and on the left- antifa.

And of course, our present dilemna is complicated by a president who is spoiling for a fight and itching to release his flying monkeys in order to cement his authoritarian plans for the country

Nope

Indeed. You can’t help yourselves.

Meanwhile, Maxine Waters is out there claiming there’s zero violence.

You people own this. You’ve put down the brush, soaked it in gasoline and handed the local pyro kid a Bic lighter. Now LA is getting the benefits.

They figured their Chicago Riots - were great.

They figured their Rodney King violence ---was fun.


This --- is the sequel they've been working on.


I've started writing in forums that I think are frequented by military-ICE-tsa- etc - low-key posts about "heck they want to kill me for being ICE? I'm going to start dropping these guys off at Whole Foods at night and drive away" Trouble is I'm not sure these are actually street level agents.

Ya, you forgot dems also need illegals to wipe their arse. You’ll have to do it yourself.

Loved the inherent nod to indentured servitude in his post, also!

The MAGA hypocrisy is stunning...they don't even know what they believe.
This is what you get when folks lack basic critical thinking skills.
First they are against it...no wait...then they are for it...

Yup. This year's version of the "summer of love".
Another great feature is that democrats can't come out and say "Don't riot, that's just wrong". Instead you have a number of them coming out and saying, "Don't riot because it helps Trump".

How broken morally do you have to be that your first instinct is to say that? But that's who they are.

Another great feature is that democrats can't come out and say "Don't riot, that's just wrong".

I’d prefer “Don’t riot because that’s exactly what Trump wants you to do so he can send in the National Guard and then the Marines- which is exactly what both the governor of California and mayor of LA have been saying. Unfortunately, a crowd that has had flashbangs thrown at them and rubber bullets fired at them is not often in the mood to turn the other cheek. Their cause is righteous but their tactics are immoral and play right into the hands of the greater immorality- Donald Trump and his flying monkeys who were aching for the chance to post on the ‘violence of the left”.

The right is intentionally committing violent acts against people they hope to provoke into committing violent acts in response to the state violence being directed by Trump in LA.

I’d prefer “Don’t riot because that’s exactly what Trump wants you to

Because you look at this through a political lens instead of a Normie one.

It's pretty simple:

Rioting is wrong.
Don't riot.

The right is intentionally committing violent acts against people they hope to provoke into committing violent acts in response to the state violence being directed by Trump in LA.

Fail.

It's pretty clear which side today's republicans would have cheered back in 1930s Germany.

Just as a point of history, both parties did (to varying degrees). Plus, there was the American Bund.

Back then, both parties were a mix of ideologies. Not like today's homogeneous parties. There really were conservative Dems back then, for example.

But, yes, today the Reps would be more supportive of the autocrat (as they are in Russia, and elsewhere).

Trump thugs shooting journalists with rubber bullets:

I agree. Rioting is wrong. You must have been horrified when trump pardoned the rioters who killed Brian Sicknick on January 6. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Brian_Sic...

You must have been sickened when Trump pardoned the violent rioters who did this to Michael Fanone:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Fanone

The right has its Boogaloo boys and other militia/hate group types who want to provoke a race war, and on the left- antifa.


SNIP During the 2020 riots following the death of George Floyd, there were also some reports of Antifa activity. In Newark, New Jersey, the FBI and Newark Police Department investigated possible Antifa activity and arrested an individual for possessing a knife, a hatchet, and a jar of gasoline with intent to use violence.1 In Austin, Texas, law enforcement officials reported that Antifa was involved in violent activity, including the looting of a Target store.2 There were also law enforcement reports of Antifa activity in other cities, such as Minneapolis, Minnesota; Spokane, Washington; and Portland, Oregon. The FBI nevertheless assessed that criminals—not Antifa or other ideologically motivated individuals—perpetrated the vast majority of looting and violence. Other law enforcement agencies came to a similar conclusion. “We saw no organized effort of antifa here in Los Angeles,” said Josh Rubenstein, the spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department.SNIP

I think you make a mistake in comparing Antifa to accelerationists. Accelerationists are willing to be violent against and kill police, then blame it on blacks to start a race war. Antifa gets blamed by the right for things they've never done.
