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.
> He clearly can't handle it. Hence why Trump is sending in the federal law enforcement.
I disagree - Trump is sending in federal enforcement because he intends to make the situation worse. That's where our disagreement comes in.
You're attributing good intentions to Trump, which I think is kind of stupid frankly. He doesn't have good intentions behind, like, anything. You think he's trying to help California? Really? You think that?
See, I don't think you think that. So, we should be on the same page, but we're not.
> Why are the Cali governor and LA mayor still in charge if they can't maintain law and order?
Because we live in a democracy, not a fascist dictatorship? I mean honestly, do y'all actually hear the things that are coming out of your mouth?
Trump is not God, he's not fucking Mussolini. He can't just arbitrarily and unilaterally decide who rules states in the US. What really gets me about this rhetoric is that it's very harmful to both Trump and his supporters.
If you're in the business of convincing people that Trump is not a fascist, you're doing a pretty shit job. If people such as yourself are his supporters, then I'm nervous!
> If I lived in LA, I'd want may tax dollars back
Luckily for you, California is one of the states that contributes significantly more to the federal government in taxes than it takes. You should be more angry at states like Louisiana and Georgia.
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.
See, this is why nobody takes you seriously.
