Whose L.A. will prevail? Trump’s chaos or California officials’ vision of lawful protests?
Los Angeles Times ^ | June 8, 2025 | Jessica Garrison and Rachel Uranga

Posted on 06/08/2025 2:23:14 PM PDT by 4Runner

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, in an interview Sunday morning, spoke out forcefully against violence, but also called the federal government’s response “unneccessary.”

She called the administration’s actions “posturing” and “completely disruptive to a city that has already gone through so much.” She also condemned violence, saying people who engaged in it or vandalism should be “arrested and held accountable to the full extent of the law.”

“The protest that happened last night in L.A. was relatively minor,” she added, and “to say that the city is out of control, I don’t know what city they are talking about.”

Demonstrations in the city of Los Angeles on Saturday were largely confined to the federal Metropolitan Detention Center where immigrants were detained; larger protests unfolded in Paramount, southeast of L.A.

Political consultant Mike Madrid in an interview said the Trump administration has managed to put California officials in the middle of a perilous situation.

On the one hand, he said, there is a legitimate threat to public order. “There are thousands of people in the streets of Los Angeles,” he noted. “There are people throwing rocks at police cars.”

California officials must call for law and order, he said. But on the other hand, Madrid added: “The escalation benefits the president. He wants the violence. He wants the damage. He wants the destruction.”

This country has been ruined by these goddamned South American freeloading invading criminal thugs and their bitches and their anchor baby spawn. And now they are in our faces about it, attacking our troops. You're damned right the American people want an escalation. You're damned right. It's past time.

War is peace.

Freedom is slavery.

Democrats are order and prosperity.

Just like the IDF versus the Palestinians - initiate incidents then play victim and blame the IDF for the response. Same playbook, in use in commie-occupied California.

This is color revolution stuff gamed out before the election.

They’ll do to Trump what they did to Yanukovych if they can.

California and L.A. officials could make federal force unnecessary if they'd just enforce laws against violence. They won't, because they don't want the feds to enforce immigration laws, and they want rioters to prevent it.

So...federal troops are required.

Arrest? In central FL he would already be dead; we have reached the point where lethal force must be met with lethal force.

Sorry but if oreigners flying Mexican or Palestinian flags break the law, destroy property or harm any Americans, then arrest and deportation should be the least of the consequences.

OK youre overboard and sound ridiculous.

First of all, you don’t make any distinction between south and central America, which kind of invalidates much of what you say.

And yes, WAY TOO MANY are violent and dangerous and ALL illegal aliens should be deported.

But your post is blinded by hate and that’s never taken seriously by most.

Remember what Michael Corleone said “dont hate your enemy, it blinds your judgement” :)

I want every measure to be taken to oust illegal aliens and punish ANYONE who tries to harm feds, National guard..etc.

But you are too busy ranting about “b.tches and spawn” to SAY THAT THERE IS A HUGE HUGE WHITE PRESENCE IN THIS COUNTRY THAT IS JUST AS WILLIGN TO HURT ICE MEMBBERS, NATOINAL GUARD AND US.

So either include all who are involved in your hated or include none.

And don’t bother going to mass if you’re a Christian...you dont really know what it means.

Supporting what is right with force is diffrent from just HATING.

Buona sera

Trump’s chaos, really Jennifer? While I do not wish evil to strike anyone, it may indeed strike you or a loved one of yours. When it does I will have a hard time feeling sympathy for you. There are a lot of people that wee let in, that want nothing more that to destroy all Americans. They will show no mercy to their innocent victims, you ignorant wench.

Trump’s chaos? More like Newsom’s riots. That moron could have prevented this looting, arson, and attempted murder.

When law enforcement provokes violence then you need more law enforcement. If Newsom is worried about his people then he needs to get them under control.

Here's the video to save, Ann

><

This helmeted rioter outside a Home Depot in Los Angeles was filmed throwing rocks at law enforcement vehicles.

He has done the FA.
The FO will come soon.

We are currently seeking information regarding the identity of the person(s) throwing rocks at vehicles conducting critical law enforcement operations. One of the perpetrators in this video is wearing a helmet, and we’re going to use our investigative tools to locate the individual. I strongly suggest you turn yourself in, it’s only a matter of time.

Hey, Jessica and Rachel:

How do you like living in opposite world?

Is there oxygen in the air?
What color is the sky?

I wonder if Miss Uranga is a legal immigrant.
