L.A. PROTESTS ... How bad is this going to get? Will it turn into the Riots of 1992?

[Bono Nettencourt]

This. He's looking to agitate the situation so it gets worse and he can say "see, I told you so." Oh and conveniently, nobody is talking about Elon and Epstein now...

In case you haven’t figured it out yet, the whole Elon comment was just to get the Dems to scream for the list to be released. Like if there was real dirt on Trump it wouldn’t have been used 100X by now. Be smarter.

Have the “Jan 6 was an insurgence” dum-dums chimed in making excuses for actual riots yet?

There’s a huge difference between staging an insurrection in the name of fascism based on false claims of a stolen election and rioting in the name of justice and important meaningful change. But you refuse to acknowledge that.

His smooth fascist brain can't process the difference.

[Jason Jennifer Leigh]

Drop the bomb, drop the bomb!

Everybody!!!

Dems don’t want that list released.

Get the good people out and let the idiots go wild.

Yes, that's it - it's clearly the Dems stopping it from being released even though the president controls its release and also just happens to have a long history of hanging out with Epstein and Epstein has been recorded as saying he was once Trump's "best friend." Definitely the Dems though.

As of now it's not close to the 92 riots at all. 99% of LA and the surrounding areas wouldn't even have known this was going on.

I was actually in downtown LA and had no idea this was going on. Except the bus detoured around Chinatown on Saturday. Went to the Mayan on Hill & Olympic at noon for Exoticon (headlined by The Residents) which ended at then walked all the way to LA Convention Center stopping for a double espresso on the way.

Sunday parked at Hope n Olympic and walked to Figueroa and PIco and back when my mom was texting asking if LA is on martial law and GF was kinda panicking. Went head and went around the long way, south to 10 to 5 north to get home. Saw an accident with a car facing traffic and what appeared to be a dead guy behind the wheel.

You know I've never understood the logic that seems to go with a lot of protests. It's like...OK, you have a cause that you want to draw attention to and get the information to the public that explains whatever injustice might be occurring. The overall goal I assume is to amass support from as many people as possible and hopefully those people will make enough noise that meaningful change can occur.

Alright. That is a simple enough concept. So how do protesters go about making that happen? They cause as big of a disruption in everybody's lives as possible. Including the very people who they are trying to recruit or at least get sympathy from. If I was trying to convince people that I have a worthy cause and would really appreciate their support I don't think I would go out there with the intention of yelling at them, getting in their way, stopping their cars on the road so they are late to wherever it is that they are going, or even attacking them. That just doesn't seem like an effective way gaining support. In fact, I would venture to guess that it achieves the exact opposite result than the one that is being sought. I just don't understand the mentality there.

I get the concept that you gotta do something bold that will attract a large amount of attention, but how about something bold that doesn't inconvenience your potential ally's day and piss them off? Like in the current L.A. situation instead of blocking the freeways how about lining the overpasses with some of those fine young Mexican chicas showing their tits to the traffic below. Get as many decent looking senoritas together holding a sign that says "If You Send Us Back Then You'll Never Get To Suck On These" and have a few of them showing the goods. Or a sign that says "My Back Isn't The Only Thing That Is Wet!" I think that would gather a lot more support than torching cars, throwing shit, and not using the crosswalks properly.

There's an easy way for this to all go away. Trump/Steven Miller stop their nonsense and send ICE home.

Same way that the Russia/Ukraine conflict would end if Russia would go home.

There's zero point to this, and it's accomplishing nothing, other than causing unrest. I have no problem with them going after actual criminals, but that's not what they're doing, they're casting a wide net only for the purpose of meeting arbitrary numbers.

People aren't numbers, and when you treat them like that, this is the result.

Exactly. Trump started it, but no way is he going to do what needs to be done to end it, because if he did, his voting base would be the ones rioting. Not to mention it would mean having to admit he was wrong, and we all know he's morally incapable of doing that.

And the thread is over. These two posts are the whole ballgame. And they told you before the election what their plan was so don’t be all ‘I didn’t know. . . ‘ Either you knew and didn’t care or you are to intellectually lazy to inform yourself and neither is a good look.

My 2 cents. I keep hearing or reading innocent people are being swept off the street, yet I’ve seen no proof. Of course the left blames trump cause ya know have to be the opposite of him. In addition, yes he has the national guard there, but they have yet to engage in anything other than protecting the federal building. So, to me it’s just another way for the left to say to their constituents looks we are fighting trump. At the end of the day, if you are standing with a sign fine but when you start throwing shit, lighting fires, and causing havoc fuck you and your cause.

You gotta get away from your tv. I was in DTLA Saturday night, too, mostly on Broadway, but also some on Spring and Hill looking for parking. It was just a regular night. No signs of strife at all.

Supposedly all of it was like, 2 blocks away, but you could not tell. There was not even that sense of weird calm, just club-goers doing their usual thing.

[Metal Sludge]

So basically, if a law hasn't been enforced very well, and you decide to enforce it, and it pisses people off, you should just stop trying to enforce it. That's a fun precedent.

Read the post above mine. He’s not just going after actual criminals. He’s even been deporting innocent legal immigrants for the purpose of meeting arbitrary numbers.

American citizens and legal residents too.
These thugs are wearing masks, not identifying themselves, no badge, no warrant, they have no idea who they are even picking up, they are just snatching brown people.
What is this??? Nazi Germany???
You can't just snatch people up and deport them to a prison in a country they have never been to!
Anyone who thinks this is okay is a racist, fascist piece of shit!

Your 2 cents is worth just that.
What do you mean you haven't seen them snatching innocent people off the street? If you haven't, it's because you aren't paying attention.
They detained a freaking US Marshall in AZ for hours, because he was brown.
They snatched a Columbia student, and sent her to a Louisiana dentition center for more than a month because she wrote an op ed regarding genocide in Gaza.

Just yesterday, they snatched a Chilean tourist off the street in NYC, and left her 12 year old daughter alone on the street.
There are dozens more stories like this. You haven't heard any of them? Really? It's because you don't want to.

They have no warrants, they have no badges, no identifying uniforms. You think this is okay?

Trump had no authority to call in the National Guard. And he is being sued for it.

[Jason Jennifer Leigh]

This is what LA does, build it and burn it down, build it and burn it down, etc. is has very little to do with ICE .. plus it’s a big hit on TikTok, it’s all about the hits, likes and views on social media. People are actually traveling to LA just to make videos just to gain followers.

The Chilean woman was arrested by NYCPD not ICE, they thought she was part of a crime, found out she wasn’t and let her go.

https://www.biobiochile.cl/noticias/soc ... anos.shtml

“The Deputy US Marshal’s identity was quickly confirmed by other law enforcement officers, and he exited the building without incident,”

Thank you President Trump for trying to stop LA from destroying its beautiful iconic city AGAIN .. it’s so sad he has to make this decision because Newsom would rather watch LA burn.

“Trump calls up Marines, doubles National Guard deployment”

Facts:

More people were arrested the last time the Lakers won the championship in 2020. And the property damage was much much worse too.

This started as a nothing burger, only excelled by the Orange Turd when he decided to dump the National Guard in a situation that was already being handled by the local cops.

Newsom is suing the asshole because, Whoops!!! only the Governor of a State can order the National Guard to be deployed. Shocking that Trumptard had no clue about this.

Peaceful protests don't really change anything. Aggressive protests normally have more of an impact. For example, see what the French do when the protest. They don't mess around.

yeah, he "started it" by wanting to deport people here illegally. TDS is a thing. Every damn person who came here illegally or over-stayed their visa should be shown the fucking door, pronto. How is that not reasonable to some of these clown-world morons? And save the sad stories for someone else. Everyone one of them is their own fault or their parents' fault. If you are here illegally then there is likely a damn good reason why. GTFO and come in through the front door like everyone else has to.

Exactly

[TheCULTofMANSON]

I don't care which side you are on...

I don't care what color your skin is...

I don't care what your complaint or issue is...

But... if you decide to stand or sit in the street, block traffic, throw rocks, and do what many of these people are... I hope you suffer for it!

I like the brave ones who taunt the Cops, walk up and talk sh!t in their face and ride their scooter 1 foot in front of the skirmish line...

Then when they push it too far, and they least expect it, they are suddenly man-handled by a swarm of Cops and handcuffed and dragged away.

I love the look on their faces when this happens, it's priceless. Have fun in jail.

Again... regardless of what these people are fighting for, it's not okay to walk into Freeway traffic and create the havoc that has ensued for 3 days now.

The footage I am seeing today, looks like easily 2-3,000 maybe more... Ugh!

[MetalSludgeCEO]

Watching the local News now, and seeing the arrests and impeding arrests of these clowns is so gratifying!

Seeing the cowards in masks, hoodies, etc... hiding behind a crowd of hundreds and lobbing rocks, molotov cocktails and more, only to be ID'd after the fact is excellent!

They have arrested 2 guys for throwing molotov cocktails at authorities, and the Federal charge could land them in prison for a decade! Way to F#@k up your life... #idiots

Like the idiots in D.C. back on January 6th, who all laughed out loud were not laughing when their Faces were on Wanted Lists broadcasts Nationally.

The same is now happening with the most serious offenders, and in time, the LAPD and related forces will ID dozens if not hundreds, and all will pay!

I have seen footage of Drones being used, my guess is by the Police... and now they will use all of that footage, along with social media and meticulously one-by-one, identify these people and bring them to justice.

I can't imagine being a business owner, and finding your store to be destroyed and looted by a bunch of worthless thugs... ugh.

Ironic? The 2 guys arrested for the molotov cocktail incidents, are both illegals from Mexico. Shocking!

One of them is 23 years old, has a history of crimes, has already been deported previously but now, will spend a decade in a Federal Prison. #Perfect
