13 million people in the LA metro area. Like 100, at most, are being violent. Yes, we need to deploy the marines to control 100 people. This is Trump grabbing power and his personal vendetta against Newsom.
I agree with the spirit of your message, but it is a hell of a lot more than 100 angry people in that mob. In my opinion, there should be thousands more. The only other option is to do absolutely nothing while democracy dies.
Yes there are more than 100 angry people, but just because you're angry doesn't mean you're violent.
I wrote a longer comment further down in this thread—the group of 100 I saw live on @LordHito’s stream was definitely violent—some had what appeared to be homemade smoke bombs, they lit fires, and smashed some windows.
However, I think this response is entirely justified and the police have definitely been more violent than the protestors.
I don’t disagree with anything they’ve done, I just think it is disingenuous to say they were a peaceful mob, even though that is what the news has been mostly showing.
That's not violent that's disorderly like... A protest. It's like you think we simply showed up and told the British we were displeased and dispersed in an orderly fashion when ordered to do so.

Course he does, he's a moron. You literally cannot say anything of an inflammatory nature without giving him ideas
and california should be a seperate fucking country.
Most states probably should be a separated country, I am just worried about states like Texas who will cause more issues that way. You can still do something like we do in Europe with the EU, or Shengen countries etc
Not states, most couldn't survive, but America could certainly Balkanize into several separate entities - New England, Midwest, South, Plains States, West Coast, Southwest, etc. some states like Texas and Florida might be able to survive as stand alone economies, but most couldn't.
They could survive if there was no tax over transactions between states, it wouldn’t make a lot of economic difference.
How do you think something like Lichtenstein exists? Yes they are decently rich, but they just import a lot
I want to see California form a pact with Oregon and Washington, and then form an alliance with Mexico and Canada. Then MAGA America will be surrounded on 2/3 by hostile foreign nations.
It also means the entire west coast port system would be cut off to MAGA America, and they'd have to pay whatever taxes, tariffs, fees, etc. that California demands. Or they could just ship everything through the Panama canal, at least until CaWaOr (still workshopping the name), can sign a deal with Panama to prohibit MAGA America from using the canal.
Taco the chickenshit now suggests, "someone please arrest this man." Why won't you have him arrested dementia Donny? Did you forget why again.
So, did he watch Civil War but not see the ending?
