The Issue: Gov. Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass’ mishandling of the anti-ICE riots.
America at this time is a nation separated into two nations: One Democratic, one Republican (“Cali’s gruesome Newsom twosome,” Douglas Murray, June 13).
There is no more assembly of minds and compromises between them.
I’ve been watching the unhappy state of affairs in Los Angeles. It galled me to see rioters burning and spitting on a US flag.
Gov. Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass are clueless and ineffective. They ought to be ashamed of themselves for not immediately responding and nipping this riot within the bud.

Are we to consider Bass’ dismissal, saying rioters “got a little unruly” or Gov. Newsom’s absurd surmise that the deployment of the National Guard was “purposefully inflammatory?”
Los Angeles deserves leaders who can deal with the reality, not these gibberish whisperers. People who stay in glass homes shouldn’t condone the throwing of stones.

Thank you, Newsom. Unlike anybody earlier than, you may have maximally proven why assist for the left is imploding at this very second by declaring, in golden robes of gubernatorial majesty, that democracy is beneath assault in LA.
You’re mendacity to us, and not for the primary time. You and the woke left really despise democracy; it’s anarchy you cherish.
Not even six months have handed since President Trump took workplace, and we’re starting to see with astonishing readability why his election was so essential to the preservation of this great nation.

It is a most disgraceful scene to see the US flag being disrespected, spat on and burnt by protesters who’re most likely unlawful aliens.
Are you listening, Newsom? You organized this anarchy. Riots need to be stopped instantly. You’re not governing the town. What are you going to do when a massive earthquake occurs?
End this nonsense now or worse will come.

Here we go again with riots in Los Angeles. Remember Watts within the ’70s?
Venezuela has its faults, however they have the jail system down pat. What our nation wants is a super-max jail the place rioters and looters can spend 30 years locked up with their like-minded buddies.
Granted, that gained’t deter all of them, as a result of incompetent fools like Gov. Newsom and Mayor Bass will all the time be the flies within the ointment, who will defend them and hinder their arrest and prosecution. However, it could trigger a few of the brighter ones to assume twice earlier than they burn our flag, set vehicles on fire, assault law enforcement and loot shops.

Newsom taunted border czar Tom Homan to lock him up; Trump informed reporters he thought Homan ought to do it (“I’d lock up ‘nice guy’ Gavin: Don,” June 10).
Newsom then responded by accusing Trump of calling for his arrest. It’s like a speeder flying previous a police officer screaming “pull me over.”
Perhaps issues would calm down a little if Newsom was more respectful of law and order.

Gov. Newsom must be arrested for each the riots and the mishandling of the Palisades fires. You can even add Mayor Bass to the checklist.
Newsom is the most important narcissist ever. He appears to assume that guidelines solely apply to these he sees match. Remember COVID and his mask-less dinner at French Laundry?
California is a cesspool. Just have a look at LA and San Francisco — the latter he ruined all by himself.
