In fact, a great presence of the National Guard was offerred earlier, and was turned down by Pelosi and co.
Trump deploys National Guard.

Been here, done this in TERB.
Look closely, the numbers of L.A. protesters are not that large. We have always had a small group of agitators on the left and in all fairness also on the right. There is no big swell of public support for opposing deportations. The media is very good at making it look bigger than it is.
If one was very astute at swaying public sentiment to the cause, would you hand out Mexican flags to protesters? The further stupidity should not be lost that the majority of recent immigrants have come from Central American not Mexico. You and others like to dismiss my local first-hand perspective preferring to totally rely on what some commentator is telling you. Most Mexicans wanted the border closed and there is support for deportations. It goes without saying that Trump has received more and more Latino votes with each election.
Getting back to the bad optics of Mexican flags, some liberal and moderate commentators are publicly admitting the protesters and their Democratic supporters lost whatever narrative they have.
PS- BLM and the Portland and Seattle protesters lost the narrative after a short while. I believe sympathetic city officials in Portland and Seattle all were voted out of office.
If the protesters are flying Mexican flags, I'm guessing they're too dense to be making any kind of distinctions.
Probably not on both counts.
The media has a way of amplifying the size of protests. It sells copy.
Will it be worse than what Trudeau did to Canada?
There are ways to hurt a country with a majority not knowing it's happening until it has happened.
A number of jan 6 folks were charged with seditious conspiracy. And assaulting officers - from Wikipedia
Early on, the majority of charges filed against the rioters were for disorderly conduct and unlawful entry.[13] Ultimately, about one-third of the defendants were charged with assault on or interference with law enforcement officers.[14][15] Other charges included trespassing; disrupting Congress; theft or other property crimes; weapons offenses; making threats; and conspiracy, including seditious conspiracy.[16]
Clearly, the Capitol Hill Occupation Protest and its establishment of an autonomous zone within Seattle for an extended period (weeks) met the definition of an insurrection. However, the liberal media never used that term and were relatively supportive of the Seattle protest in its early days.

Try to stay in Mexico illegally and they'll kick you out.
These deportations are a rather ordinary demonstration of national sovereignty.
It's also a perfect rejoinder to those that openly flaunted their border jumping in carefree defiance of USA laws.

The media is under reporting the protests.
Did Trudeau forcefully deport the migrant workers, who have been employed for years and their status was under review? Quite a few of these workers were forcefully separated from their children even though none of them had any criminal charges. But remember that Doug Ford welcomed the intervention of the Federal Government as he felt that he did not have to resources to cope with the FreeDumb Convoy who held the City of Ottawa to ransom for weeks on end. On the other hand Gavin Newsom has the sole right to deploy the National Guard, if the situation had got out of control. Trump violated that Right especially as Newsom did not determine it was beyond his Control!!
So just because the leftist media calls it an insurrection, it is. What did I tell you about quoting leftist media without context. The definition wasn't met to be an insurrection. Also, sad day for America in LA, rioting is just wrong.
Nice try. That's like saying you spending g hours in your moms washroom and demanding more kleenex and hand lotion is a terrorist act. You know that J6 was an attempt to stop the government from electing Joe Biden. Protesting around a police station is far different
Is he the antagonist in your prison rape fantasies ?
What was being discussed is when can a protest be considered an insurrection.
I don't think the protests in L.A. are an insurrection. Taking over part of a city and severing civil authority for several weeks is an insurrection.
Many on the Left are so wedded to describing Jan. 6th as an insurrection, they get very possessive of it. It however can describe other events.
