Y'all know the best part about all of this? ALL OF THIS?
It wouldn't happen if we'd followed the fucking laws in the first place. Some of the hand wringers out there liike Newsome et. al., where were they when illegals streamed across the border? Cheering them on. Facilitating the crime. Funding the crime. Sheltering the criminals. The media, citizens, spineless politicians? Cheering them on, staying quiet, or calling opponents of this unchecked fuckery "racist" and all of the other "ists" out there.
So, whatever we think of the current administration's actions, good, bad, or other, none of this would have happened without the Democrat party and Joe Biden (and his handlers) allowing this shit to happen. When you allow the rule of law die on the vine, don't be surprised if the repercussions hurt your feelings.
For fuck's sake. (Give me my god damn crossthread points and go away)

I'd like to channel my inner
@Box on this one, if you'll grant me the space.
None of this is happening in a silo. There is a very clear pathway to the scenario in LA, and more is coming. June 14th.
... students took over Evergreen University in 2017 over the "Day of Absence", which was racism in practice. No national response, no deterrance. SJW's know now there is no penalty for taking over federally funded spaces.
... Portland had an entire year in 2018 of violent protests. No national response, no deterrence. SJW's start to show coordination.
... 2019, we had- Anti-ICE protests (CO), Stright Pride protest/counter protest in Boston, 2 in Portland where Antifa assaulted people with bear spray and tasers (one was a teenage girl). These are also the protests where journalist Andy Ngo was assaulted and later doxxed. No national response or deterrance. More NGO's hop on, Antifa starts publishing fliers on how to instigate, how not to get caught, starts publishing ads for instigators who will be paid.
... 2020, too many to list. Federal buildings burned down, officers assaulted, St John's church burned to the ground, President forced into a bunker, Police precinct taken over and burned to the ground (Minn), $20B in damage, Seattle and CHOP, some estimates at 25 dead, some numbers higher. No national response, "mostly peaceful protests", narrative of oppressed/oppressor and how the "oppressed" can do no wrong when "protesting" the "oppressors". Anything done in the name of Geroge Floyd is absolved.
... 2021, Howard, Portland, Columbia had the first rumblings of "takeovers"- Howard students occupied a building for a month. The first "Pro-Palestine" marches/takeovers are seen.
...In 2022, we had a nice little break, except for the Roe v Wade decision, which involved Supreme Court justices being targeted at their house after the decision was leaked. There were no arrests, no deterrence, and we don't even know who leaked the decision.
... 2023 - present- University students have been indoctrinated and truly believe that they can cover their faces, take over federal buildings, hurl rocks at federal officers performing official duties. Protestors believe they can be as violent as they want as long as they're on the side of the "oppressed". No violence they commit can possibly be wrong in this framework- because fascism, racism, Zionism, colonialism, whatever -ism you want is the real issue and they must resist. Murder a CEO on the streets in cold blood? Celebrated. Firebomb old women, peacefully raising money for hostages? Not a hate crime, easily explained away.
And that's how we got here. Funded protests with paid agitators dropping off materials and funded by dark money NGOs, happening nationwide at the hands of a domestic terror organization.
To try and make this issue into some nebulous referendum on "the way we police" or "first amendment rights" is being purposefully obtuse about the fact pattern we have seen since 2015.
LA is not happening in a bubble. The red-green alliance and Antifa didn't just magically appear. Videos with "organizers" with radios and a chain of command calling for logistical support isn't "protesting".
