That is propaganda, not proof. The amount of incorrect information given is staggering. First, there is no federal law enforcement buildings in downtown LA. 

 

you are moving the lily pads around.  earlier you stated "There has been no damage or credible threats to federal assets"
when that claim was addressed, you moved your claim to "no federal law enforcement buildings"

The BBC did describe the LA Riots as Peaceful Protest, completely missed the irony.

 

The Diversity Riots in Northern Ireland amusingly were not so described.

What the living hell does the 3rd amendment have to do with soldiers sleeping indoors in A/C?

That is propaganda, not proof. The amount of incorrect information given is staggering. First, there is no federal law enforcement buildings in downtown LA. The only one is FBI headquarters, with is 15 miles west of there, and it's located in a very wealthy neighborhood called Brentwood. No way in hell they'd get within 100 feet of even farting towards that building. The one they are trying to claim is a federal law enforcement building, while is a federally owned building, is actually where USCIS has their offices and conducts AOS and other interviews there. Some of the retreating ICE agents might have ran to it, but vandalism is hardly destroying a building.  

 

As for the vehicles, those were LAPD and California Highway Patrol, not customs and border patrol vehicles that were destroyed. 

 

Again, this wouldn't have happened if ICE and Homeland Security followed the laws and civil procedure for immigration detainment and deportation. They like to claim that their detention subpoenas are tantamount to a criminal arrest and search subpoena, but they aren't. Follow the law, and like this is less likely to happen. Now, don't conflate my distaste for ICE tactics as supporting the riot/looters. This seems to happen in CA quite a bit. Whenever there is a large scale protest, bad actors use the protest as cover to destroy, loot, and cause mayhem. Those a-holes should be jailed. But the people running these ICE sanctioned kidnappings should be held accountable too. 

Additionally, the Los Angeles Federal Building has been a site of conflict, with protesters attempting to block entrances and engage in confrontations with law enforcement. The FBI has a field office in Los Angeles, which is part of a network of satellite offices covering the area.

Tell us more about how far away the federal building is?  Ever hear of Robert Young Federal Building?

The salient point here is that no federal assets have been destroyed. He sent ICE agents, who have gone beyond their authorized jurisdiction, breaking into homes with civil detention warrants, and treating them like criminal search warrants. They are not the same. Why do we even have laws if this administration is going to just walk all over laws and the constitution itself. California isn't going to vote for a republican, and the way things are going the midterms are going to be brutal for republicans. I'll still vote libertarian and waste my Nevada vote, but i'll at least have a clear conscious.

 

 

Again, LAPD was deployed, and has handled it far better than the National Guard. Perhaps if ICE actually followed the laws and civil procedure that governs deportations and detentions this wouldn't have arisen. Noem is the incompetent one along with Homan. They are partisan sycophants hoping to get some of that Trump gravy train money being siphoned from the government.

The 3rd amendment. Lol  What are you talking about.  As a former Army Officer and having deployed my soldiers more than one time for riot control and federal service,  I can assure you I knew what the 3rd was.. 

 

Here you go

 

No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

Illegals Help Film Republican Presidential Campaign Commercial

 

LOS ANGELES, CA — The Republican Party expressed gratitude to a local group of illegal immigrants who helped film some commercials for the next presidential campaign.

The rowdy group was filmed torching cop cars, looting stores, and waving Mexican flags, providing some "killer" footage for the 2028 race.

 

"Man, this is great stuff," said one Republican consultant as he reviewed a scene of several illegal immigrants defecating on an American flag while throwing bricks at people's faces.  [...]

'Trump Is A King!' Say People Freely Protesting In A Free Country

 

U.S. — Thousands of free Americans gathered in cities across the country today to lament their lack of freedom by holding rallies while shouting "Trump is a king!" and exercising their right to freely protest in a free country.

The downtrodden, oppressed, upper-middle-class populace in urban centers throughout the United States boldly made their voices heard to decry President Donald Trump as acting like an all-powerful monarch as they openly protested and displayed their liberties in the freest society on Earth.

"Trump is a tyrant!  He has taken away our freedoms!" cried Mable Mcclean, a 68-year-old bisexual Episcopalian priest and part-time slam poet.  [...]

Honestly, I have no idea what their protest is about.  Lower taxes, secure borders, removing illegals thugs and criminals from the country, lower cost of living?  These people are bunch of sore losers who are perpetual imaginary victims.

The familiar hidden hand behind today's #NoKings protests

 

Yesterday, as protesters readied to descend on city squares across America for a mass demonstration branded #NoKings, California Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis took to MSNBC, praising the movement as a righteous stand for democracy.

"People are very determined to get out there and be seen.  This is the United States.  We do not want a king," she said.

What she didn't say: The California Democratic Party is itself organizing today's protests — from Orange County to Oakland — with the full institutional weight of the Democratic machine, and the Democratic National Committee is playing a critical role behind the scenes in protests across the country from California to Florida.

Already, I established in analysis for the Pearl Project, a nonprofit journalism initiative, that the protests are organized by 197 organizations aligned with the Democratic Party. bThis network harnesses a machine of about $2.1 billion in total annual revenues toward this cause.  That effort alone represents a partisan political enterprise that I call the protest industrial complex.  [...]

SoCal conservative Republican here.   I have been though countless riots/protests in California, etc.  I was literally on gladiator status back in '92 and have physical scars to I could show for it to this day. The protest today are literally small time nothing by LA riot standards.  Gladiator in '92 could walk freely and even argue face to face with them In 2025.  More cars have been burned over winning basketball games. I drove through downtown LA tonight with wife and daughter.  Never felt safer in my life.  I would have considered it inconceivable that I could ever agree with Gavin Newscum about anything.  BUT, deploying our troops on our own streets against this fuc@%√ up city really, viscerally, infuriates me.  Troops on our own streets for nothing.  I even support all of the ICE raids except that they are doing them wrong.

More to show how ineffective the California Democrat leadership is I suppose.  Another factor is of course lessons learned from the 2020 Summer of Love particularly in Portland.  I have been out-of-touch for a week, but wasn't the NG deployed to protect federal property in LA?  I remember a federal building in Portlandia being overtaken, or severely damaged.
