The USA is currently grappling with immigrant chaos...immigrants who are resisting deportation. One side of the political divide is calling this chaos peaceful protests while the other divide is rightfully calling it what it is - Riots! It reminds me of the chaos that took place last year during the anti-finance bill riots. The media were happy to fan the flames by referring to the 'Gen Z' as peaceful protestors, and laying the blame on the police. Claiming that the police instigated the violence.
Sound familiar...
Meanwhile, property of untold value has been set on fire, shops bugled, scores injured and with the military on the streets deaths will start happening if they haven't already.
Ironically, when Kenya had to do the same thing, the Americans and other foreign emissaries were happy to preach democracy and rule of law as if those concepts are alien to us. Now they are dealing with the same and it didn't even take a week for them to marshal their military.
If the response to any injustice is turning a state, a county or nation into a warzone, there can only be losers on both sides.
