I agree with you. One thing I wish everyone would say instead of ICE are arresting which they are not they are kidnapping people it's not an arrest with no warrant signed by a Judge with their name on it also. They have no due process and then are sent of to God knows where. They are being kidnapped and disappeared. That's not arrested.

People in California were peacefully protesting and I for one am proud of all of you.

Hey you’re absolutely right, they are kidnapping people. No arrests. Happy you pointed it out. No Warrant, No Due Process.

Yes exactly disappeared.

Unconstitutional, cruel, and inhumane.

Neither can I! None of it is sane.

Difficult to imagine 3.5 more years of this regime.

don’t think the Watts riots could be considered “peaceful protests”. they were brutal. But within the term “protests” you are correct if memory serves

Watts riots were a long time ago and I wasn’t comparing those riots to these peaceful protests. Yes I was around then so I know what’s up.

I’ve been a California resident for 45 years.

my remark was supposed to be humorous snark as a retrospective.. no personal shade on you intended. I had friends living there at the time. From up here in PDX it was all just unbelievable and unbelievably sad.

Thanks for clarifying Skeeter, as I didn't hear that way.

Watts riots were ugly and brutal.

And this isn't what happened in LA this week.

Lots of misinformation coming out about what happened in Los Angeles and it has made me angry the true story isn't getting out in the media. Just the rhetoric.
