OPINION:
I wonder what would happen to me if I went down to Mexico and started burning Mexican flags and police cars while chanting “Death to Mexico” (“‘Anarchists’ behind violent turn in L.A.’s anti-ICE protests; nearly 60 arrested over weekend,” Web, June 9). How long do you think I would be allowed to do that? How long would I be allowed to stay in Mexico (or even stay alive) if I did that? I don’t think they “play” down there. No, they don’t play.
The mainstream media is calling the events taking place in Los Angeles “protests.” No, these are not protests. These are riots. I watched this happen in 1969. The old saying is indeed true: “Spare the rod, spoil the child.”
Well, we got soft, and this is what happens when you get soft. We deserve this. We asked for it, and now we’re getting it.
