Marines are trained to be LETHAL WARFIGHTERS, not a "powerful" force |

Protesting is a constitutionally protected activity. Just a reminder. |
Sure, but looting and burning and pelting police with rocks is not a protected right. Once you destroy, your rights end. |
They were responding with what they could put their hands on, at the escalation fomented by ICE. |
Defense officials are working overtime to throw together guidance in the event that U.S. Marines—sent to Los Angeles Monday—are required to use force on civilians.

Those were republicans. |
You do not have a constitutional right to student loans and SNAP bennies from the govt. If they want to violently block the govt from doing its job of enforcing immigration, then take all of their govt handouts and bennies away. |
Ca can stop payroll payments to the IRS. So can NY. Illinois… Can’t wait |
We need to stop changing the conversation here. There is no use for the Marines there. This is just so obviously a terrible precedent to even hint that you're going to let loose the Marines against US citizens |
Think twice before you enlist in the Marines these days. This is a whole different ugly un-American ballgame. This commander-in-chief has no proper respect for the United States military. |
How’s that going to work with the proposed plan I was responding to?! |
lol there is no place in the constitution that say you can arrest people without due process. You are advocating for lawlessness.. |

A week ago everyone was crying about what can we do, someone should DO something. Now people are doing something and you all don't like it. You aren't going to be fascism with cute signs. The people burning, and looting, and pelting fascists with rocks are doing something. They are bringing this to a head, which is exactly what was needed. It has to get worse before more of you snap out of it and realize we don't have time to just sit around waiting for the next election if we hope to save our democracy. |
Define communism please. Because you're literally describing most capitalist "democracies." |
