1/ To those even slightly swayed by the idea that these invasions are reasonable let me ask you: with all the problems facing us the last few months, did you once wake up in the middle of the night & go “Wow, we really need to do something about what’s happening in Albuquerque.”

2/ Of course you didn’t. You’ve worried about Covid, the economy, your kids and more; situations about which govt indeed has needed to spend its resources. But invading Seattle? A multi-city landing of federal troops? For what?!

3/ American cities have not been ablaze in violence - & whenever there’s a problem, state Governors can call out the National Guard if they wish. But they will be now. Thousands of protesters are arrayed & will be arrayed for one reason only: to tell the feds to get the hell out.

Actually yes,. Concerned about the violence of rioters, attacks on police, and mayors/media who pretend it is peaceful protests. Protecting federal property is a good thing. The Portland thugs attack the Federal building and are trying to hurt people. Just stupid.

If it was my city I'd be so thankful... The rioters have gone too far with the destruction of property. It's too bad they ruined what could've been a positive movement

The federal government has legal obligation to protect federal property and an obligation to protect the civil rights of citizens, even those that operate businesses when state/local law doesn’t. That’s why the prez sent troops to Alabama in 1963. What bldg would Ghandi firebomb?

1/2) Especially since I live near Albuquerque & it’s where I shop etc...there’s nothing to see here except for armed militia groups that support Trump. They seem to think they should attend any sort of possible peaceful protest so they can regulate it, which means incite violence

2/2) If they want to arrest the militia groups waving his flag fine, but leave everyone else alone. We haven’t seen any incidents in many many weeks & again the only violence was incited by militia NOT protesters, all on video. We don’t have any protests here currently 🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️
