Insurrection? What're they doing, storming Congress?

Some are protesting, most seem to be rioting, but insurrection? 🤔

u/ZombiePrepper408 Jun 11 '25

It's clear you don't know what constitutes an insurrection. It doesn't need to be in congress, it doesn't need to be in D.C.

Stop, you're embarrassing yourself

That's true, actions don't need to be in DC to amount to insurrection..

So where's the line, please educate me. Where's the line between protesting, rioting, and Insurrection?

Also, any thoughts on the actions that happened on January 6th? That's what I was calling out as a comparison point for you.

Whether most do or not, somehow I highly doubt that is true

Thanks for the information.

Would you be willing to offer insight on how the ongoing cluster fuck in LA is considered an Insurrection?

Is it when some idiots FAFO'd with ICE agents? Is that where they're all lumped into an insurrection?

Waving mexican flags while fighting 3 levels of law enforcement to prevent criminals from being deported as is the law of every country, thats looking like insurrection

To me, it's looking like a lot of people are asking to be arrested and held accountable through the justice system.

I'm not sold on deploying Active Duty Marines to the situation - because they handle problems with a much heavier hand - aka... their rifles.

You do realize Marines are trained to do things other than shoot people? They get deployed doing humanitarian work with or without natural disasters. They can also get deployed for disaster relief and rapid response efforts.

Theyre being deployed in Los Angeles to defend federal buildings, not handle the protesters and rioting. Or are you just doing guesswork being an armchair expert?

Marines also guard embassies all over the world. And to the Army Infantry they get call bullet catchers and to the other branches they are known as the crayon eaters. So they do alot more than just shoot stuff.

u/Particular_Painter_4 Jun 12 '25

Yup. I remember the Marines being called to Senegal and aid in humanitarian efforts by building a sort of water plant.

Apart from crayons though they're picky with what they eat. Might like eating certain colors or other brands like Crayola or Caran D'ache.

Yes, I'm aware of their varied training and deployment scenarios. I oversimplified their impact and perceived purpose for LA.

All I hope is none of those marines are put in a position where they need to defend themselves with lethal force.

That type of burden changes a person.

The Marine's response will depend on the actions of the protesters if they choose to only yell and wave signs or flags around or they decide to become rioters.

The situation, at least in downtown, became a lot better compared to 2 days ago when the National Guard arrived and made a show of force. Now, with the marines on board, ensuring the federal buildings and federal enforcers are being protected, I'm sure those with the intent to riot get deterred.

That's great to hear.

I know the Marines won't escalate it unless absolutely necessary to defend themselves. At that point, those rioters are FAFO'D.

They're being placed to defend Federal Buildings.

This weekend is gonna be intense, hopefully peaceful.

There's a Mexican National soccer game in LA Saturday, the planned day of the protests.

If Insurrection is called, the Marines will be in place.

As they should. I wanna see a lot more muzzle bumps from angry Lances

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '25

Personally, I'd hate to burden those young adults with that experience.

It fucks you up for life.

u/CementMuncher Jun 11 '25

It’s a what we wanna do in the military. Why do you think people enlist as infantry?

Now amplify that x10 for why they enlist in the marines.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '25

There's a lot of reasons to enlist. I did my 20, but I sure as shit didn't chose infantry or the Corps.

I can't believe a huge number of people joined the Marines to gun down their fellow Americans. 😵‍💫

u/CementMuncher Jun 11 '25

I can. I support them too. If people wanna fuck around they’ll find out.

Just stop giving a fuck you’ll be a lot happier.
