Chef Andres is in and out of Gaza enough he should watch his back and beware a double-tap.

He should be the one to get a Nobel Peace Prize.

Clots and prayers.

Love Chef Andres. He is a true hero.

Which is great news... The problem is, once the National guard leaves, and the understaffed police force is the only thing left, why wouldn't crime increase again?

I'd like to see some polling on this claim. When you live in a high crime area, I suspect that most people will not mind a little inconvenience to be able to safely walk around their neighborhood.

Military deployed on the streets being the little inconvenience?

Military deployed on the streets being the little inconvenience?

Yes. Seeing military, like law enforcement in general, can be reassuring.

Other countries have cheered the arrival of the US military.

NOBODY feels reassured when armed military patrols their streets without oversight.

Do you think all those demonstrations in DC and LA were multitudes of people thanking the military for “reassuring” them?

GTFO with that nonsense.

 

[WaynetheDrain]

Does that include the violent crime being perpetrated by ICE?

Is Bowser also going to release numbers for businesses, including restaurants? I’d love to see those numbers too.

The minor inconvenience of living in a militarized police state. I actually don’t want to see polling, a big chunk of the American right are clearly in support.

 

[Icky Mettle]

I think it’s safe to say that the presence of a militaristic police state will typically reduce crime; at least temporarily until people start figuring out how to work around if it is present for the long term. But living in a militaristic police state is not a palatable substitute for crime. In other words, I don’t think most people want either crime or military personnel patrolling their community.

If we miraculously get a Democratic President in 2028, and a particularly vengeful one at that, I wonder how many right-wing fucksticks would be applauding him/her for sending armed troops into places like Hattiesburg, Mississippi and Memphis, Tennessee under the guise of “cleaning up crime?”

My guess is that suddenly states rights would become paramount again.

Hypocritical pieces of shit, all of them.

Oh hell yeah. Had Obama or Biden tried this shit, Pubs would be riling up militias to take up arms to fight against this tyranny.

Obama didn’t even have to do it. The hard right had themselves worked up about some make-believe called Jade Helm.

The "Don't Tread On Me" dipshits will be out in full force.

“… privately, Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson began discussing what they could do to shield Chicago from a federal deployment like those underway in two other Democrat-run cities with Black mayors, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C.

Their conclusion: not much….”

You can't speak for anyone but yourself.

Do you think all those demonstrations in DC and LA were multitudes of people thanking the military for “reassuring” them?

There will always be someone against anything. There's no reason to believe those protesters reflect the opinion of the entire district.

GTFO with that nonsense.

Take your own advice.
