It’s just a little lawful unrest. As the violent rioters throw concrete and rocks at federal ICE and U.S. Marshall officers, the Democrats and media are out in force proclaiming that those aren’t the fiery riots we think they are.

Gosh, that looks very lawful and peaceful doesn’t it?

Yet, what does Mayor Karen Bass do? Throws a snit fit and proclaims her support for illegal aliens. 

“As Mayor of a proud city of immigrants, who contribute to our city in so many ways, I am deeply angered by what has taken place,” she said. “These tactics sow terror in our communities and disrupt basic principles of safety in our city. My Office is in close coordination with immigrant rights community organizations. We will not stand for this.”

And the rest of the CA Democrats jumped on her bandwagon. Which just served to encourage the paid protestors even more. And yes, they are paid. How else could they conveniently have those nicely printed protest signs and brand spanking new Mexico flags to wave around? 

Governor Gavin “Hairgel” Newsom blames Trump for the rioters behavior, said Trump’s comments were “purposefully inflammatory,” and stated that calling in the National Guard (which Newsom has REFUSED TO DO) “deranged behavior.” 

Now, I don’t know about you, but the rioters advocating for the killing of ICE agents and U.S. Marshall screams of deranged behavior rather than lawful unrest. The calling in of the National Guard to shut things down seems very rational and reasonable to me. Democrats and the media though are desperately trying to gaslight us all into believing that these destructive riots are just the 2.0 version of the “fiery, but mostly peaceful” riots we saw in 2020. 

As RedState’s Ward Clark pointed out, Dana got one small thing correct. Governor Pete Wilson saw the writing on the wall with the Rodney King riots and immediately called in the National Guard. THIS time, however, when it comes to enforcing FEDERAL LAW, Bass and Newsom are still refusing to enforce those laws and protect the citizens of Los Angeles.

What’s infuriating to me is that the Los Angeles Police Department is ALSO on the side of the illegal aliens. They issued a statement claiming all the destruction, cars on fire, buildings being vandalized, and federal law enforcement officials getting injured, was just part and parcel of those lawful unrests.

Which has also led to the ‘HOW DARE HE??!!!’ reaction as President Trump called in the National Guard.

Here’s what the Democrats and media want us to ignore. A President DOES have the right to call in the National Guard when the state and local agencies FAIL to do their damned job and keep their citizens safe. Specifically 10 U.S. Code § 12406 gives a President that authority. 

(1) the United States, or any of the Commonwealths or possessions, is invaded or is in danger of invasion by a foreign nation;
(2) there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States; or
(3) the President is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States;

the President may call into Federal service members and units of the National Guard of any State in such numbers as he considers necessary to repel the invasion, suppress the rebellion, or execute those laws. Orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the States or, in the case of the District of Columbia, through the commanding general of the National Guard of the District of Columbia.

The Democrats and media would have us believe that the vandalism, destruction, and calls for the killing of federal law enforcement is just peaceful lawful unrest. For them, the violence is the point as long as they can keep their narrative afloat.

They have no shame, and the violence and damage IS the point. Here’s one guy who gets it. 

Deputize.
We will regulate. https://t.co/KxUHej8P0t

Tony should know. He was one of the original Rooftop Koreans in 1992. They defended their homes and business until federal help arrived. 

Yet, today we have the Democrats and media proclaiming that the violence and destruction is just part and parcel of lawful protests. 

They’ve swung their support behind illegal aliens and criminals. THEY are the ones who are fueling this chaos. They are the ones pandering to criminals while blatantly ignoring their own citizens who’ve been harmed. 

This is who they are supporting.

Democrats and the media WANT this. They WANT more of these so-called lawful protests along with the destruction and the foreign flags flying on American soil. They WANT illegal aliens to have all the rights and more afforded to Americans. You’d better be paying attention, and vote accordingly.
