Rogelio Martinez, a candidate for Mayor of Long Beach, has posted a message where he called for the gangs of Long Beach to eject ICE from the city. My first question is whether or not this is real? If so, this man is off his rocker. Who would post a call for criminals to oppose federal law enforcement? "Hello, FBI? Could you come arrest me, posthaste?" People who aren't all there have been convinced that anything is acceptable to fight the 'fascist Nazis' at ICE.
If you call someone a fascist or a Nazi, there is a minority - maybe a very small minority - of people who will believe it, embrace it, and act on it. They will get their hands on a gun or a knife and attack the Nazi. There was the crazy who shot Charlie Kirk, the crackpot who shot Trump, the other crackpot who tried to shoot Trump, and the loon who tried to gun down Republicans at a baseball field. Though the left claims that the right-wing is likely to commit violence, it is more approving of the use of violence. 24% of far-leftist are okay with assassinations. Only 4% of conservatives are on board with killing the competition, which is still too high.
It would appear that would-be Mayor Martinez is one of the crackpots who think it is okay to recruit criminals to fight law enforcement. It has been so long since the US really tried to enforce some of its laws that it now feels like persecution. It's not.
