    I think it’s about time the press and protesters start showing up strapped. These people clearly don’t have any fear and are just power tripping on people for simply being there. Put the fear of God back into these pigs.

      Escalation to violence is exactly what they want. It gives them all the justification they need to invoke the Insurrection Act, declare martial law and suspend your Constitutional rights. And not just in California.

        Protesters urged not to give trump administration pretext for what it is already doing

        edit: Oh, what the hell. Let’s add a snippet.

        Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass publicly urged protesters Monday not to give the Trump administration any pretext for what they’re already doing and will keep doing no matter what. “Angelenos—don’t engage in violence and give the administration an excuse to inflict all the damage they have been inflicting carte blanche for months on end,” said Bass, adding that Trump and his team are just looking for a reason to respond with violence, as they would have done whether or not any of this happened.

          That’s an Onion article. You can tell because Trump hasn’t been shooting protesters for months already. That’s what comes next. And that’s when it stops being a protest, and turns into a civil war.

          Don’t be so eager to make that happen.

                All it takes is a single police officer to put on plain clothes and to throw a brick. They do that on the regular, let’s stop this “don’t do ANYTHING disruptive or could be considered violent! It will escalate!” Nonsense

                  So, by that logic, protesters should use violence? Is that what you’re saying? I mean, if the police are already going to frame them, then we should just give them what they want, and turn this into an all out massacre?

                  Man, you guys are trying so hard to start a civil war. it’s pretty transparent at this point, who you’re working for.

      It should be thank you to the non voters. They have merely removed the veneer of morality and democracy from the face of US.

      Remember the snipers in college sent by Biden against students participating in Anti-Israel protests.

      You can’t enable atrocities abroad without them coming home to roost. Congrats to all US voters of the last 250 years.
