    No, it’s the wheel of a burning vehicle that’s closer than is obvious.

    The hole for the lugs & nuts makes it apparent.

    Trump is using the military to occupy a city that hates him. He wants to deport a lot of people, but the city isn’t having it so protests have emerged.

    From what I’ve seen, four self driving taxies was burned (the car on the image) by protestors, while the police intentionally shot a news reporter, used a horse to trample a detained protestor, and has deployed marines to the streets.

    The federal agency ICE is completely captured by fascists. They are arbitrarily staging immigration crackdowns using hastily deputized agents who arrest people off the street while hiding their identity. They came to Los Angeles, a fervently anti-fascist area. It triggered massive but mostly peaceful protests. Trump is using the protests as a pretext to mobilize the federal military against citizens.

      Thank you. I have no idea what happened to LA this past few days, i know there’s a protest and there’s police violence against protestors and there’s chaos, beyond that i’m very much in the dark.

  This is populist violence and outrage that would be better directed in an organised bus-to-washington program that would only attract the politically committed (and ideally more disciplined).

  They could be briefed on the bus.

    That bus would have its brake lines cut before Trump’s first diaper change.

    Could also all be arrested or assaulted on the bus by the gestapo or their KKK supporters

  Yeah, every Mexican flag in all of these photos is NOT helping their cause any. Just looks like exactly what the GOP says it is, an invasion. I’m not even sure I’ve SEEN an American flag during all the protest photos going around.

    If you weren’t there, what you mean is you haven’t been shown any American flags in the protests.

    Anyone who thinks there needs to be more American flags at the protests is welcome to bring them along with themselves. But sitting here criticizing the people actually off their ass and trying to protect democracy and their neighbors is bullshit.

    Further, the right is literally never going to see resistance to Trump positively. Anyone who has been on the Fox News drip for the past 20 years is so unhinged that living in California is a crime to them. Asking people whose neighbors and family members have been kidnapped by the federal government to hide their heritage in their protests because it might offend people that already hate them and want them gone is ridiculous. At least if you want to keep those people as allies.

      protect democracy

      Are they trying to protect democracy, or are they just trying to keep their family from being deported?

      I’m saying it has everything to do with optics.

      Big angry crowds all flying Mexican flags just plays into their agenda. It looks like this isn’t Americans fighting back against ICE, it looks like it’s Mexicans fighting back against ICE IN America…

    Why the fuck would the protectors wave the flag of the government that is oppressing them?

    Why tf would they carry an American flag at a protest. Thats stupid enough for me to assume you are a bot

    • ReallyActuallyFrankenstein@lemmynsfw.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I’m not sure what the hostility is for. The very thing the protesters are standing up for is the correct idea of America. The flag should be for real patriots who believe in the Constitution, not Trump and his insurrectionist ilk.

    I’ve seen a couple. They were getting burned. Nothing about it helps their cause any. They’re declaring themselves enemies of America. Brain dead.

    • Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      What’s brain dead is thinking people only have a right to free speech if it fits what you think their optics should be.

      Anyone who wouldn’t support the burning of an American flag is an enemy of the US Constitution.

      You’ve got little concept of what their cause is. Their cause is “you’ve pushed us to the breaking point and this society is no longer worth enabling, the social contact is dead.” It’s not to make the liberals sad, it’s to hit everyone who wants to enable the system through disruption until their grievances are acknowledged. That’s always been the method of even the most peaceful of successful protest movements.
