500 US Marines deployed to LA
- Thread starter blindedbythelight
- Start date
Placing people who are trained to kill in a protest environment is about as authoritarian as you can possibly be. The police are trained to deal with these people. The marines are not. Obviously an attempt to create a huge incident.
Obama deported 3.16 million people. Biden sent away over 4 million. Neither needed to call in marines.
They are rioting not protesting. Burning vehicles and throwing rocks, bottles and Molotov cocktails at police and federal officers is deadly force and can be met with same
I have little sympathy for rioters waving other countries flags while they are burning American flags. Time to send them all the hell home

Police have faced this in the past. They can handle it. How proud would a marine be to shoot an American civilian? The commander in chief is misusing the U.S. military because he is an arsehole. You would defend anything he does because you are same.
If these people really want to be an American why are they waving the flags of other countries? You don't see me hosting the Creek nation flag and proclaiming I want to be American. Yes I get they are proud of their heritage, but I am proud of mine and again I don't wrap myself in the flag of Creek nation and burn down the country I live in.
No No No,,,,,,Trump did not call in the National Guard and Marines to enforce the law. They are tasked with securing federal facilities and employees that are under attack by rioters.
100% legal
100% legal
It's a diversion and the media falls for it.
Trumpers are sharing pictures and videos of cars burning from 2020 and people are swallowing it whole.
Dang it I spit tea all over my screen, I still see that GIF that people made of him saying that.
The bad part is the jabronis like blind forget what a freaking moron trump is.
Or are they the morons?
Phew.

It was all in Project 2025. Page 555. He is spending millions to protect two blocks that aren’t even under attack.
As CNN’s Josh Campbell reports, the bulk of the 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines that have been mobilized actually remain out of public view and likely won’t even be seen publicly. And CNN’s Haley Britzky and Natasha Bertrand reported Tuesday that the Marines have not received official tasks or orders yet and many are undergoing additional training before they potentially assist with the protests, citing US officials.
BUT the liar in Chief says——
If I didn’t ‘SEND IN THE TROOPS’ to Los Angeles the last three nights, that once beautiful and great City would be burning to the ground right now.”
Trump’s comments gloss over the fact that the protests and violence are actually confined to a small portion of Los Angeles, with the vast majority of the city and Los Angeles County going about its regular business.
But they also imply a much bigger role for the troops than we’ve actually seen.
Trump made similar comments at a White House event later in the day.
He said “we ended” the violence, and: “Los Angeles was under siege until we got there. The police were unable to handle it.”
“Last night, they had total control,” Trump said. “If we didn’t have the military in there, the National Guard – and then we also sent in some Marines,” he added before trailing off.

Until proven otherwise, they're Americans.
Wish trumpy had been so 'tough' back on jan 6th.
Oh wait he let 1500 protesters walk by pardoning them.
Wake up buttercup.
I could have sworn I said the capital police should have opened fire on the people attacking the Capital
There is all kinds of documentation verifying that days before Jan6 Trump told pentagon leaders they should supply 10,000 troops to secure the capital during the Jan 6 rally.
Kind of in black and white congressional testimony but you idiots are too stupid to understand
Don't be so naive. He had the power to handle it and he chose to let his stooges run wild.
A government memo about the events leading up to Jan. 6, statements from Pelosi’s office and the Pentagon and testimony from the former House sergeant-at-arms show Trump did not request 10,000 troops ahead of the rally.
Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby had previously looked into Trump’s claim and told The Washington Post in March that “we have no record of such an order being given.”
A timeline from the Department of Defense only mentions an agreement made on Jan. 4 about potentially providing 340 District of Columbia National Guard members at the request of D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to support traffic control.

Our rating: False
Based on our research, we rate FALSE the claim that Pelosi rejected Trump's request for 10,000 National Guard troops to be deployed before Jan. 6. Pelosi's office said the speaker was not contacted about deploying the National Guard prior to the rally, and the Pentagon has previously stated that there is no record of the request. A timeline from the Department of Defense about the events leading up to Jan. 6 does not include any mention of a request for 10,000 National Guard members.
The U.S. president, defense secretary and U.S. Army secretary are the only people authorized to activate the District of Columbia National Guard. The House select committee on Jan. 6, after its 18-month-long investigation, concluded that official records and witness testimony showed Trump didn’t make that order Jan. 6, 2021.
On the day of the Capitol attack, Paul Irving, then-House sergeant-at-arms, first asked Pelosi’s chief of staff for permission to contact the Pentagon for National Guard support at 1:40 p.m. — about 30 minutes after rioters had broken through the barricades surrounding the Capitol. A few minutes later, Pelosi approved Irving’s request. But because of delayed approval from Pentagon officials, National Guard troops didn’t arrive at the Capitol for another four hours, The New York Times reported.

The D.C. National Guard reports to the president.
In a recorded video the following day, President Donald Trump claimed that he “immediately deployed the National Guard and federal law enforcement to secure the building and expel the intruders.” But Trump’s claim that he acted quickly is contradicted by news reports citing unnamed sources who say the president initially resisted efforts to bring in the National Guard at the outset of the Capitol riot.
The New York Times, citing unnamed Defense Department officials, said it was Vice President Mike Pence, not Trump, who approved deployment of the D.C. National Guard that afternoon. The Times also cited a “person with knowledge of the events” who said Trump “initially rebuffed and resisted requests to mobilize the National Guard “and that the “mobilization was initiated with the help of Pat A. Cipollone, the White House counsel, among other officials.”
