Mostly peaceful in LA

A protester holds up a Mexican flag as burning cars line the street

I mean, if they love Mexico so much, why are they here?

Yeah I don't really get the Mexican flags there. Not exactly imagery you want to associate with your home country.

Let's get it straight - they are protesting because they can no longer expect to freely waltz in and out of America.

I doubt it's illegal immigrants protesting, it's just too dangerous. I imagine it's mostly American progressives 'resisiting'. Anyway I agree they're hurting their cause and doing Mexicans here no favor.

This is also the natural resort of relatively weak immigration policies for decades.

Probably true.

It's minor in comparison yet, but reminds me a bit of the cathartic protesting you saw in Trump's first term with the woman pink hat scream fest thing and later BLM... people looking for a way to physically vent outside of the ballot box against policies they don't like.

Oh my god, I agree with Bernie about something.

A whiff or two of grapeshot should settle the rabble. If not, it would codify the new rules of engagement with the unruly masses.
