Yes, they SHOULD have 0 tolerance.... they SHOULD have

But if you're a native NY-er, you would know that NY was never the same after 9/11. Everything got darker, in the most metaphorical sense. As if both towers crumbling was the start of everything evil and wrong that is currently taking place in NY even as we speak.

Whenever I used to bring up the Reconquista stuff years ago I would always get told that I'm crazy and that they just want to live here for our freedoms (to abuse) and for a better life.
It's ingrained into them when they're young since when I was a teen they'd always skip school to block traffic doing the "viva la raza, reconquista" shit and most of them were anchor baby beaners. School was nice since all the chimpout noises besides niggers fighting each other were gone for a day or two. Shame that they weren't expelled because normally they would always rack up enough unexcused absent days to warrant getting held back because either they just didn't show up to loiter elsewhere or they were skipping school to go do a teen pregnancy.

Its frankly crazy. We've virtually forgotten about it, but they sure as fuck haven't. California is Mexican clay in their heads despite the ass whooping they got last time. Imagine being generationally asshurt. I fucking can't.

he should sit around and make hollow threats until the media admits that these are violent riots started by foreign invaders who deserve to be deported or shot? It's not going to happen.

No, stop this. Trump is doing the right thing. There is federal jurisdiction and there is state jurisdiction. The ICE facilities are protected and ICE agents are continuing to work. That is the extent of Trump's responsibility. Downtown LA burning down is city/county/state jurisdiction. If they don't want to enforce state laws, that is their choice. Trump has repeatedly offered to crush the riots but the state doesn't want help yet.

You need to understand that people are fine with this shit until it effects them. Rioting on the weekend? Fight the power! Riots continue into the work week and suddenly normal people are impacted. Let that go on for a few weekdays and LA residents will insist Newsom executes the protesters. There is a reason the nigger mayor is now declaring curfew.

The feeling of uneasiness and anger you feel at seeing these riots is near universal. The only difference is who people blame for the unrest. The more bass and Newsom do nothing, the more California residents will blame them. Trump isn't having marines crush protests and the longer this goes on the more the Dems sound like liars playing politics.

Slow the fuck down and learn to read before jamming your foot in your mouth. I didn't say jack fucking shit about whether or not there "should" or "shouldn't" be a crash. I said it was a bad sign generally speaking.

You also assume, like many did in 2008 and 2020 that a crash will benefit you, when for most people, it doesn't. You won't buy a house because you have no money and the banks won't loan it to you because they're risk adverse during those times.

My rent went up $700/month since 2021. I know it’s not going back down an inch unless something catastrophic happens, but there are still places that I aspire to move to which were only partially affected by the Biden presidency, and I would like them to stay that way long enough for me to move to them

Of course I’m not buying a house, just like the majority of Americans that will never fucking happen for me, because the market will not correct enough in this lifetime to become affordable again unless I hit the lottery or go back to college in my 40’s while necessarily working full time, which is a hell of a gamble anyways

Forgotten? I’ve been waiting for Rage Against the Machine to make a faggoty appearance at the riots, but they’re holed up in their crispy McMansions I guess

I feel you. Shitty situation and it must be frustrating. It still doesn't change the economics though. A house was just an example of the type of thinking I've heard since 2008 and again in 2020. A crash could very easily make the situation even worse tho. I'm not advocating for higher prices or lower prices . Money isn't that simple.

Imagine the price of rent goes down but you can't find work anywhere and you have to live in a tent by the bridge.

That kind of worse.

Bro I’m a factory worker. There’s nothing but upside.

Everyone’s gay tech startup might evaporate, but manufacturing has been squeezed my entire life

We have overtime now

What I never understood about this if you follow this logic YOU'RE intolerant. Therefore others have the right to not tolerate you either. How do they make the distinction between "he's intolerant so we have to fight him" and "If I'm doing it it's different"?

e: Should've read your whole post first. You basically explain it.

I keep hearing "revolution" in these clips...over and over again revolution...What revolution? I thought you just wanted to exist and have the same rights as everyone else?

Hearing them chant "Viva La Raza" sure is a teachable moment as well. Literally it means "Long live the race," the race in question being their own.

If a bunch of white Americans stormed through a Mexican city waving American flags and shouting "Long live our race!" what would be the result? And how would the media react?
