Symbolism over substance. How about fixing the problems with YOUR police force, mayor!

It's a nice gesture, but seems like it would have been better renaming Pennsylvania Ave and putting bit on the road right outside trump' s window

I like that idea a lot.

Utah National Guard and other forces were deployed to Washington D.C. to assist local law enforcement.
However it seems that the Mayor of D.C. decided she didn't like it and evicted around 1,200 troops from 10 different states including Utah from their lodging.
I would say something but it would be censored.

Well, at least one elected official is willing to do something to stand up to a tyrannical president using the armed forces against his own people.

And it's hardly "evicting." Read your own article: it's just that DC isn't going to pay their hotel bills. Trump invited the National Guard; let him pay for them.

BTW: what kind of soft army would let a lack of free hotel rooms force them out of a city?

Exactly. There are many easy and convenient words and gestures being made now. Like there are always "thoughts and prayers."
Action, not words, are needed.

If you think the military should be deployed against citizens, then America isn't the country for you.

It's been done before, but not without a request from a state governor.

Kent State Massacre?

 

[Wandering Monk]

Kent State Massacre?

Actually, I may be wrong about the request. In some cases it was in opposition to the governor:

What is the Insurrection Act and why has it been invoked before?

Trump could let them stay at one of his hotels - or maybe at the White House. They could set up tents on the White House lawn.

When those that degenerate from peaceful protesters to a mob that loots, burns, and kills and the State and local law enforcement are unable to protect their citizens then they need help.
If you think that a mob is the means toward change then I feel sorry for you blind acceptance of anarchist and wonder which anarchist group you belong to.

Maybe if a mob looted or burned your property, killed a member of your family you would have a different understanding. Saying that I hope you never have to make that choice.

Sounds like you're talking about collective punishment. Am I right?

Psst: your country was founded on the idea that the mob is a means toward change.

If you mean against a mob, then yes

Psst: your country was founded on the idea that the mob is a means toward change.

Psst: We were fighting against your King not ourselves.

 

[9-10ths_Penguin]

If you mean against a mob, then yes

Collective punishment is an affront to the idea of personal liberty.

Why are you opposed to personal liberty? Why do you think that people should be punished even if they themselves have done nothing wrong?

Psst: We were fighting against your King not ourselves.

Think school desegregation.

Do you consider protesters a mob or a mob protesters?

Yeah the were loyal to the King, I would not consider them "us".

Don't deflect; answer the question. Why are you opposed to personal liberty?

Yeah the were loyal to the King, I would not consider them "us".

Do you still consider your countrymen who don't share your views "not us?"
