The point of referencing precedent is two fold. Highlight the inconsistency in the gripe AND highlight the absurdity of precedent as justification.Precedent has been set but I do agree military should never be used on us soil against citizens.
Very slippery slope.
National guard yes. Marines hell no.
I don't agree with Trump's decision to send in the NG, however, it is pretty easy to see that Newsome along with Bass are at greater fault when it comes to the handling of this situation. There is no doubt in my mind that there would be violence, chaos, and looting even if Trump never sent in the NG. Hell, look back at the $ amount of damage in CA with the BLM riots a few years ago.
And it won't cost much. 9mm is as low as $.22 a roundThis is why they supported the BLM and Antifa riots, which destroyed billions of dollars of property. These riots and protests are being supported and paid for by local, national and international groups. For that reason, they must be quelled. The lack of law enforcement by democrats created this problem. We cannot have lawlessness in this country.
Then what’s the solution if backup is needed? If the Feds send in HRT they will leave a trail of bodies. I understand the concern with federalizing the NG, but it feels preferable to Marines. I don’t have the solution, but I know that the ones screaming the loudest didn’t say a word about Waco.I agree except with the NG, I'm fine with a governor calling out his NG to assist in riot control. 100% against the federal government doing it.
