>Given that he effectively and literally ignited Los Angeles Are we talking about the same LA? Because I only saw LA residents burning down their city. I didn't see Trump or federal law enforcement in LA burning down cars and looting stores. So how do you get to blaming Trump for LA resident trashing their own city?

Because the obvious intention of sending in Marines was, and is, to further escalate the situation. I, and I suspect no reasonable person, would ever entertain any other interpretation

      So what? They don't even take themselves seriously. The main thing you'll observe is nobody provided any arguments that I was wrong. Because I wasn't.

        Well nobody proved you wrong because right off the bat your premise was incorrect - I never said that anything justifies rioting. I'm merely pointing out the obvious here. We all want less property damage, both you and me. If we want to do that, then we shouldn't be sending in the Marines. That's not going to help anything, it's explicitly just going to make it worse. Trump isn't stupid, he knows that, which is why he did it. This is media bait, and it's incredibly irresponsible to use actual lives as pawns in some game of owning the libs. This doesn't even touch on the fact that this is all being done at the behest of California leadership. If Governor Newsom thinks that this is unnecessary and the LAPD can handle it, that's something our federal government should respect. And, I suspect Newsom is more than correct - the LAPD is a very large police force. The Marines here are being sent in the stoke the flame, not put it out.

        Several things you keep repeating but you still haven't explained despite me questioning you several times about it: >I disagree - Trump is sending in federal enforcement because he intends to make the situation worse. How does the presence of law enforcement make the situation worse? When you see the police coming in your neighborhood, do you get the urge to rob a store and set your neighbor's car on fire? >Because we live in a democracy, not a fascist dictatorship? Since when is enforcing existing laws a dictatorship? > If people such as yourself are his supporters, then I'm nervous! Those are some pretty defamatory accusations. Where did I say I support Trump? Just because I criticize LA leadership doesn't mean I'm a Trump supporter >California is one of the states that contributes significantly more to the federal government in taxes than it takes You're deflecting again. I asked you why crime is so high and leadership quality so low in LA despite the high Cali taxes. >You should be more angry at states like Louisiana and Georgia. Why? What's this whataboutism? We're talking about LA leadership because that's where LA taxpayers pay for. And BTW, Louisiana and Georgia have lower violent crime rates than LA.
