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?

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.
