We cannot be throwing rocks. lighting fires, or otherwise interfering with immigration officers in their work. Peaceful protest only. As a Californian, the protests in Los Angeles are much less than seen in past issues. Local police are doing the right things. I do believe the situation is being inflamed for political purposes by bringing in National Guard or Federal Troops. Lawsuit coming this morning I understand.
According to the BBC, the protests in Los Angeles are have calmed overnight. Trump is sending more National Guard and Marines but they are not there yet, he is taking credit anyway. When Trump ordered water released for the Los Angeles fires, none of it ever made it to LA because that lake and canal do not go to Los Angeles ….. it was all political theater. Sending the National Guaard and Marines is more political theater, the Los Angeles police and other California Law Enforcement have controlled the situation thus far.
The President of the United States should work to de-escalate situations like Los Angeles, not inflame them. Arresting honest working people, breaking up families, even where some members may be in the country illegally, is a gross cruelty. Congress should be stepping forward to stop these abuses.
Hey, Duff.
Pet-peeve: No dates on posts. In this rapidly moving atmosphere, moments can make a difference, let alone dates.
Otherwise, I’m with you, dude. Just watched the Gov. Newsom interview you sent to Bill. Impressed. but no date on it, only a time. Grrr.
OK, I’ll be sure to date anything I post and I’ll ask web master if we can set up an automatic date stamp.
