    ICE are cowards at heart. That’s why they were noticeably absent from Compton. They are only brave when they have overwhelming force and firepower. If they tangled with any LA street gangs they wouldn’t survive.

        All public buildings have fire extinguishers in accessible locations. If you see a conflagration, use a fire extinguisher to put it out.

          A smug line to toss off. But I’m not seeing a line of people ready to confront these thugs physically.

          More often than not, they operate in gangs and are quick to call reinforcements. They’re armed, they’re hot-headed, they’re extremely dangerous to be anywhere near, and they have total disdain for criminal retribution.

            I see people confronting them, just not on the TV. The revolution will not be televised.

      Hey if they actually started dealing with the street gangs, I’d grab some popcorn and watch. From a distance, I don’t even live in the US.

      With them deporting and/or murdering a lot of people working low-end jobs… Yeah I don’t think Americans want to do some of those jobs. The folks that have said raising the minimum wage would raise prices for everything are going to find out what happens if you raise the wages making sure there’s no-one who would do the job.
