Constitutionally speaking...make me feel more comfortable with this please.

"make you feel more comfortable with this?"

What part of rioting and looting do you not get? This is fucking Antifa, Marxist anarchists, and you want us to coddle your "FEELINGS"?

Grow up!

Calm down, old man.

Vandalism shouldn't result in getting "disappeared" by the Federal government.

Holding a boombox shouldn't result in getting shot in the face and having your skull fractured.

Walking down the street wearing black shouldn't result in your illegal detention by an unknown agency (not even your local police).

There is nothing illegal in any of this, aside from the fact that the mini-commies were breaking the law under the guise of the First Amendment.
These people want to end the American experiment and replace it with Marxist anarchy.
Oh, and they should consider themselves lucky this is all that happened, if this was China, they'd never be heard from again!

Again, grow up son!

You're justifying the use of Federal troops to unconstitutionally detain and arrest and shoot people for what again?

Protesting? Vandalism?

Make it make sense.

I see, so you're fine with the riots, looting and holding cities hostage? You know Joe, this says far more about you than it does me.

Fuck these Scum, if I were younger, I'd be down there busting heads myself! These people are the enemy of the very foundation they're hiding behind as they destroy lives.

You're trying to exaggerate things to justify this violation.

My metro area of about 30K people had 20 crimes yesterday, as per the Police Department's report.

It certainly does not feel like our area is lawless. It's all quite tame.

The crimes in the DHS letter don't justify these extreme actions, imo

Since Trump sent them in, Fascist crime has fallen,. Are you saying you want to return to such behavior?

"Protesting? Vandalism?"

There is no reason to couple these words. Two entirely different subjects.

Please tell us why are they protesting at a federal courthouse? I thought this was about police violence. Nothing to do with the feds. Can you not think deeper than your first skin layer?

From your own articles, every night they are there destroying and trying to destroy the courthouse, including firebombing it. These are federal buildings and as such the federal government has a right to protect them. As far as the "innocent" person who got hit, come on Joe, that person is part of the crowd doing the damage and breaking the law.
  As far as making you "feel" comfortable, were you uncomfortable when obama used the irs to go after his political enemies? Were you uncomfortable when obama use the fbi to spy on the incoming president? Were you uncomfortable when obama used the dea to illegally sell guns going across the border? Hate to tell you this, but these federal agents making the arrests now are the only ones following the constitution.

Would you feel different if it was your house broken into?

These people aren't innocent protesters, or even simple vandals.  They are rebelling against the legitimate Elected government Of the United States.  They are against the US Constitution.  No different than when George Washington led armed troops against the Whiskey Rebellion.  Or even Lincoln when he had Army troops fire in rebelling southerners at Gettysburg.  I fail to see the difference.  Actually at least Trump hasn't killed the SOBs yet.  Yet.

They're lucky I don't live near them.

good post.  I think many americans are sick of this whole thing.   

It seems too many libtards are getting their news from maggots swimming in pond scum.  These are not protesters in any sense or bastardized meaning of the word.  The are marxists militants enacting an insurrection of the United States of America.  Legally they could be shot on sight, and they would be if I had my way.  President Trump has not fallen for the trap being laid out by the democrap party and the media, all backed by Soros, the Tides Foundation and Open Society.  An attempt to overthrow a legitimate government is an act of war, or domestic terrorism at the least.  The level of law enforcement in this case is the minimal amount that might help end the violence on the streets night after night.  What the hell does burning down a federal court house have to do with a legitimate black lives matter protest?  Nothing.  These rioters should be shot on sight and quit wasting the time and money of the federal government.  Period.  I know Jake Tapper, Don Lemon and that Cuomo freak want you to call them protesters, but that does not make it so, no many how many times you repeat the lie.
