Friday’s protests were peaceful, according to the LAPD. For the most part, they were. The LAPD recognise a punch-up when they see one and they are not afraid to run away. On the other hand, it’s their city and they don’t want it to turn into a war zone. They are keen to deescalate. The crowds have gone. All that remains are clouds of tear gas released by panicking ICE agents.
Thousands of miles away in DC, a collection of alpha machos are outbidding each other for the most manly response. The president has ordered thousands of National Guard to California to do something about the currently peaceful situation. Hegseth has put the marines on high alert, ready to respond. It’s illegal for the US army to operate on US soil, so what, who cares. Miller is raving about invaders.
What happens the next time? Will the army be sent in? Will they refuse to obey orders? Will they actually shoot at civilians? It’s only the start of June, there are three months of hot summer coming. We will doubtless get the answers to these questions.
Disturbances in New York as well. Similar story, but smaller scale. ICE agents are armed yobbos wandering the streets, hassling people at random and everybody hates them. It’s not random though is it really? It’s racism again.
This deportation policy – let alone the implementation – cannot possibly do any good. Yet they are obsessed with it.
