    We’ll see what the national guard does. If they fight the citizens, this is it. I’m hoping they don’t. They’re Californians themselves.

    Edit: 700 Marines from Twentynine Palms. If they’re deployed to protect ICE, this is it, because the people won’t stop rioting for them until they pull a Kent State and shoot civilians. I don’t see how they’ve been tasked, so hopefully they’re kept away from the active areas.

      It’s about 80/20 liberal among all the jarheads I know, REALLY hope their commander decides to support the Constitution but if they start firing they may well be met with return fire from folks who went through the same crucible.
