LA immigration protests live updates: 700 Marines deployed to Los Angeles

Two cars set on fire and less than 100 arrested and total calm today warrants thousands of armed military on the streets of an American city? WTF is happening? Time for principled Governors Red or Blue to speak up.
 
Ask SSteve Bannon about this ‘Crossing of this Rubicon”.

It will be something new every day like this for at least four years, as we’ve seen.
It’s always been about stealing the news cycle after regular folks finish work.
MAGAs are glued to their fascist outlets and regular is hiding.
 
Dictators always use this strategy of escalation to orchestrate a crisis, which they created. They provoke outrage, then use the justified outraged reaction as a justification to repress. They have to create a situation they can point to and day only they can control.

Let the solemnity of that statement sink in:

They’re “talking about” letting the f*cking Marines go real engagement on the people in the streets of the US.


Our country has fallen if that happens. It’s the end of this experiment.
 
"Mostly peaceful" Marines.

young marines are dumb as **** and gung-ho to see any sort of anction and shoot, and will just follow orders.
 
This is true. They are trained killers. Put some masked guy waving a mexican or palestinian flag in front of them and the combatant/civilian line gets blurred.
