These so-called L.A. riots are a big, beautiful nothingburger.

Our trash dumpsters are burning!

lol.

Those of us living here in L.A.: "What riots?" 

And now we got this absurd spin from the MAGA crowd that Trump somehow stopped all this nonexistent mayhem by calling in the National Guard and The Marines (even thought they never hit the streets and engaged the protesters).

He did.  Don't try to 8 mile this.

Trump sent in NG troops.  Newsom and Bass cried like babies because they were forced to then do their jobs and put down the riots before they grew like they usually do.

Exactly. Every other riot in LA in our lifetime turned into a disaster because LA leadership let it go to shiot.  This is the first time I can remember that they stopped one, and it just happened to be when they didn't want Trump to take the credit.

Also, Squissy doesn't live in the city of LA, let alone downtown LA in Riot Central.

Squiztard looked out his front window and didn't see anything.  You guys sure there were riots at all?  Squiztard says it didn't happen because there was no activity in front of his house.

I think I have to go with Squizzy on this one.  The "Front Window" scientific method is undefeated in liberal land.

They tried that with the Palestine protests and I looked out my office window and there they were.

Portland again...

As long as they keep it close to home, so be it I guess.

JFC. So in your world, people protesting peacefully against ICE should all go to prison, while the violent thugs that attacked cops at our nation's capitol while attempting to halt official government certification of an election are all heroes.

It doesn't sit right with me. But I am quite comfortable with my definition of America. Yours is fuct.

"Righteous event!" Damn man, you make @jonmx seem positively level-headed. That's the stupidest description I've heard of that day yet. And you have the gall to pretend that you wouldn't have been calling for firing squads if Democrats had done the exact same thing. Too funny. Keep raising the vibrations!

That guy doesn't know anything. He doesn't even know the real liberal riots including arson and looting and attempted murders and murders and other violence that went on throughout 2020 even existed because it doesn't fit his hate filled narrative. 

"Retard" is too kind for that dope. 

He chooses to focus on a selfie fest that went on for a bit and then everyone went home when told to.

Brilliant rejoinder as always. Where've you been, Jon? Sulking about how your savior is quickly becoming a dictator? 

[Walker 4]

The moment when someone throws ANYTHING, even just spit or water, it AUTOMATICALLY turns into a riot. Especially when it’s MULTIPLE ppl throwing bricks, rocks, Molotov cocktails, fireworks, etc. Hell, they even killed a police dog I was fine with them protesting & shutting down roads/freeways and whatnot. But when I saw Kobe & Gigi’s mural defaced? That’s when I knew these ppl were focking psychos who were just going to cause destruction & not promote their cause

Yeah, dictators are known for deferring to court rulings.

Border crossings down to 0. So weird. Why was Biden so ineffective at even slowing border crossings? There were months where the number reached into the hundreds of thousands.

Along those lines of thinking, I happened to notice that 99.9% of Iran didn't get bombed.

Strange how the left wants no vetting at all for millions of people when they come into the country illegally, but if you try to deport a violent criminal alien, they freak out and there's protests and a long line of legal appeals they demand be worked through.

Biden needed Congress. He was old and feeble minded. The democrats hid that from their own voters.

A vote for Biden was a vote for a Politburo of people. Dem voters didn't know who that included, but could be assured were all insider corporate Democrats with all the insider Democrat talking points, access to the autopen, and they weren't Orange Man Bad. Biden forgot who people were and couldn't navigate himself to the bathroom band back, but hus applesauce brain never got so bad that he couldn't read words his Politburo handlers wrote for him off a teleprompter.

Crossings are not at zero, that is a lie, and Biden did slow the number down quite a bit in 2024.

Why didn't he slow it down from the start before millions came across the border? It wasn't a secret. Everyone knew it was happening.

Why weren't the democrats protesting to protect the border so that we didn't have to deal with the current issues ICE is facing?

[TimHauck 2,745]

Wait, people actually believe border crossings are at zero?

Ring camera captures border patrol using explosives, busting down door of a home with 1 and 6 year old children inside.

They were looking for a man who was not home, accused of “ramming a border patrol vehicle,” who was questioned and released when the incident occurred

Pendulum swung too far in the direction of law enforcement doing too little.  Now it needs to swing back the other way so mfers know there are consequences.

Don't want cats blowing out your windows with your kids in the house, don't go messing around ramming law enforcement vehicles.

Yes, allegedly.  But I've never seen a tough guy that wants to mix it up not play the victim when it's time to face the consequences, so I'm choosing to believe the border patrol on this one until I see evidence to the contrary.

Using explosives on their home after previously releasing the guy is evidence they might be in the wrong, IMO

Because if his crime was serious enough to use explosives to get him, they never should have let him go with no charges in the first place

The op was clearly a clusterfūck since they didn't even verify the guy was home which screams lack of resources, but yeah law enforcement likes to do a bunch of unnecessary shìt.  I suppose the reason is if the suspect is crazy enough to ram a border patrol car, they have to assume he won't go quietly.

My 30 seconds spent reading the story left with the perception that they let him go because the situation might've escalated with the citizens breaching the perimeter

Exactly. Explosions don't go off without charges.
