And if he sends them in to confront and deal with protesters, things will get really ugly fast.

I always love hypotheticals about things that might be happening in a parallel universe.

Those who continues to participate in the peaceful protesting against the ICE actions are not guilty of any crime and are not encouraging those who engage in criminal activity in any way.

Like those who voted for Trump expecting prices drop and are getting the opposite with these nonsensical tariffs?

No, they are saying if Trump is foolish enought to have Newsom arrested, it will probably do that. However, his standing up to Trump here (which one always needs to do against a bully) has elevated his standing among the 2028 Democratic POTUS nominees hopefuls

No, Kamala didn't contribute money to bail out those who committed crimes. only those who were arrested for protesting (with one exception which was a mistake).

They keep saying it is the people who are protesting the ICE arrests who are engaging in looting and violence, but there is no evidence of that. It is just lawless thugs who have no interest in politics and probably aren't even registered to vote taking advantage of this situation like they did in 2020.

Walmart had announced that prices would be raised this summer due to the tariffs.

Maybe because they aren't.

No they weren't. As noted in this or another thread: In 2020, more than 10,000 people were arrested in protests against police brutality and racism in the wake of George Floyd's death. The Associated Press reported that this number had reached over 10,000 by June 4, 2020

There was and is no other reason to bring them into L.A, particularly since Newsom and Bass did not request their presence (which is usually a prerequisite in such instances).

Yes, they did and it was falsely characterized as out of control rioting by Trump to use a a pretext to send in Marines and National Guard (who were and still are not needed).

Yes it is a protest just like in 2020 with the George Floyd protests in L.A. that were peaceful during the day with thousands of marchers. The criminal element who looted and set fires came out in the evening, hours after the protest marches had ended.

That isn't exactly what happened. From a Google search: The Massachusetts National Guard did provide logistical support, such as lodging and dining facilities at the Cape Cod base, but did not transport the migrants from Martha's Vineyard.

You said buildings have been set on fire, which has not happened, so far. A car doesn't count as a building.

It had absolutely nothing to do with ICE arrests or deportations.

To my knowledge no buildings have been set on fire (although people have claimed on this forum that is happening).

Trump has labeled these protests riots, but that's not what they are. Yes, as in 2020 here in L.A., there is some looting but by a criminal element who come out after the protests have ended for the day to take advantage of the situation. And these thugs don't care about ICE and probably weren't even aware of the deportation arrests until the protests started.

Actually the Apple store wasn't looted to protest ICE. As in 2020 it is just the criminal element taking advantage of the situation after the protests have ended during the day.

That isn't accurate, from a Google search: However, it's important to clarify the context of these arrests. The arrests weren't specifically for being "in public" in general, but rather for violations of the stay-at-home order or other public health directives. While it's stated that Newsom issued the stay-at-home order, the arrests resulting from violating it were carried out by law enforcement, not directly ordered by Newsom himself.
