You (intentionally?) forgot to include the acts of violence that kicked all of this off: the government abducting, arresting, and deporting our neighbors. There were, and are, many other options available to the government that would not have lead to this escalation & violence.

- philwelch 1y agoYou suggested not detaining and deporting illegal aliens, which is what enforcing immigration law would require. What hair are you trying to split?
- coldpie 1y ago> which is what enforcing immigration law would require Citation needed.
- philwelch 1y agoAre you intentionally being difficult here or do you seriously not know the first thing about immigration law?
- coldpie 1y agoYou're the one making claims that the only possible response to this problem was to send armed military personnel to a US city to arrest some people hanging outside a Home Depot or whatever. Please back up your assertion with evidence.
- philwelch 1y agoThat's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that enforcing immigration law entails apprehending and deporting illegal aliens. The troops weren't deployed until after the rioting started.
- jajko 1y agoThat... doesn't justify any of those actions. Its like in France, 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants get pissed off due to their better-studying peers driving bmw around while they work a kebab shop (or their football team loses), so they torch 1000 cars and shops in suburbs. You get attacked? You either attack back, disperse or do something similar. You don't start attacking other people's lives just to vent off being pissed off.
- coldpie 1y ago> That... doesn't justify any of those actions I didn't claim that it did. I think it's important to recognize the complete chain of escalation here by acknowledging those who performed the first violent acts. Without that first violence, none of this happens.
