Who wants to defend these Marines actions?

[Lord of Planar]

Love your response as you hurl I guess what is supposed to be an insult at me? You have a lovely evening.

Well, you compared my posting to a cartoon.... So I reflected it back to you.

We have freedom of movement in the US. Marines shouldn’t be impeding that. If police close a bridge for safety reasons sure, but Marines? This isn’t a police state.

Freedom of movement is not a civil right.

The Army is deployed to the White House to include anywhere in Washington as a last resort only. And only "on order" meaning by the Secret Service acting on the authority of the Potus/C'nC. The Secret Service is in charge of everything and everybody concerning the personal safety and security of the Potus/C'nC.

The total of 12 Marine Guards for the WH are organized in three 4-member teams, each doing a 24-hour duty shift on each third day, 7 dayze, either at the WH when the Potus is present, and is in the Oval, or at the immediate ready at the Marine Barracks Washington. The 12 Marine Guards are in support of the SS and inside the WH the 4 on a given day are in the charge of the SS.

The nature of the duty is demanding. The total 12 Marine Guards of the Potus must be unmarried and live in the Barracks -- they are prohibited living in off base housing. These Marine Guards are for the Potus/C'nC, not the WH building. The Army 3rd Infantry Regiment has the WH and grounds, the Potus and his principal advisers and the members of the Cabinet -- "On Order." That is, as a last resort and only.

Hence the nearly 5000 armed military force Trump has deployed to LA are not a last resort. They are the Generalissimo's first priority to gain control of Blue state cities and the Blue states themselves, using the National Guard primarily and by exploiting innocent immigrants to include long time in the USA immigrants with families. Obviously, this is not going well for the Generalissimo.

I didn't see the white house in the clip they were guarding, did you?

 

[bongsaway]

For sure.

Including some marines.
The Marine Corps is the only military service that is entrusted with the responsibility of providing security for U.S. Embassies and Consulates around the world. -https://www.marines.com/resources/marine-security-guard---embassy-duty.html

Why can't they protect buildings? They clearly already do, so why do you think that they can't?

How many U.S. embassy attacks have there been?
U.S. government officials working overseas are at risk from terrorist threats. Since 1968, 32 embassy officials have been attacked--23 fatally--by terrorists outside the embassy.


On August 7, 1998, at 10:30 am, truck bombs exploded at U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, killing more than 200 people and wounding more than 4,000. The attacks were later linked to the terrorist group al-Qaeda.Aug 3, 2023

More information plse thx.

What clip you saw that you didn't see the White House that who was guarding? And when? The parade? The 4 Marine Sentries? What Gordian Knot is your post seeking to pull loose? I'm afraid I don't know anything from your disjointed question.

Sorry, I don't follow bread crumbs.

Or animal tracks in the snow while hunting.

Or carrots on sticks.


You can try again later.

Freedom of movement is not a civil right.

Um yeah it is

The U.S. Constitution protects freedom of movement, primarily through the Privileges and Immunities Clause of Article IV, Section 2 and the 14th Amendment. While not explicitly stated in a single amendment, the Supreme Court has interpreted these clauses to safeguard the right to travel freely between states, be treated as a welcome visitor, and enjoy equal treatment as residents

If you can't be bothered to read the link I posted should you really be criticizing me?

Don't care how you spin it. Preventing someone from crossing a bridge is not violating their civil rights as you stated.

I'm sure no protesters will place truck bombs in San Francisco. Do you disagree?

They have tried to light the building on fire, but the Marines handled that.

So, let cops handle it. We don’t need soldiers policing citizens

Is that like W keeping us safe after 9/11?

It was a response that Marines are trained and capable of protecting buildings, and do so both in the United States and abroad every day.

I don't think George Bush was trained to do so, nor did he stand guard outside of any buildings after 9/11, nor take down any terrorist planes... did you confuse him with Harrison Ford?

I'm only repeating what your party kept repeating after 9/11 to make sure we all knew W was protecting us after the disaster of 9/11. He kept america safe. The Marines are war fighters and are capable of anything, they are superhuman.

That was when Trump at the Lafayette Square demonstration in June 2020 wanted the NG to shoot peaceful demonstrators who had nothing to do with the brief flaring of violence by those who ran off afterward.

BUT WHATABOUT?!?!?!?!?!?!

You seriously wanna sit there and claim that ALL THE DESTRUCTION in 2020 was caused by Donald Trump ASKING someone about doing something?

Get over it.

 

[Grizzly Adams]

Just admit you want us to become an authoritarian police state and be done with it.

Just admit you want to drown kittens in burlap sacks. Be done with it. Stop your charade.

Your post is a non sequitur.

It in fact makes no sense whatsoever.

I make no such claim that your post is making up out of the blue. Indeed, your post is a presumptive complex question fallacy which is a sophomoric flaw. This has nothing to do with my post your post is misrepresenting totally.

I've never seen the consistently dismal MAGAs posts become as awful and as pathetic as they are these dayze. They're going all over the place with and for nothing.
