This White Guy Protesting ICE Somehow Gave The National Guard The Most Humbling Speech You've Ever Heard, And It's Just So, Soooo Good

By now, you've certainly seen some of the powerful (and oftentimes horrifying) images coming out of the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles.

In the face of continued ICE raids, escalation by law enforcement, and displays of police violence at protests, the people of LA continue to show up to defend the immigrant communities that truly define the city. One protester in particular has gone ultra-viral for his brave confrontation of a group of California National Guard officers stationed outside the Los Angeles VA Clinic. The clinic is part of the complex that houses the LA Federal Building and the Metropolitan Detention Center, one of the focal points of the protests.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who is against President Trump's deployment of the National Guard to the city, said that the troops are only protecting federal property. "They're guarding the federal building here in downtown, and they're guarding the federal building in Westwood. That's what they're doing," she said at a news conference.

"You're tough with your assault rifles and your sticks," he starts out. "You should be standing here with us. You're on the wrong side of history."

"We know you got a job to do," he says. "But you took an oath to the Constitution, not to the fascists in the White House."

He goes on, "Think about what you're doing now. Think about what this means, coming into our community. Peaceful ducking community. People working their jobs."

"They send in men in military fatigues. Weapons of war in our communities, and you stand here and you allow it," the protester says, pointing at the assembly of officers guarding the building.

He then asks, "You think any of these people in the White House sending you these commands give a duck about you? Not one of them do."

"They laugh at you. Our president laughs at you," he goes on. "He called you fools. He said the people who died overseas in the military were chumps. That's who you're defending right now."

In the second clip in the video, the protester continues his impassioned confrontation. "Think about your place in history, ladies and gentlemen," he says as the camera pans to a crowd of soldiers in front of military tactical vehicles.

The camera pans the scene of armed soldiers as he speaks to them. "Ask yourself when you wake up tomorrow. I don't know if you have kids. Ask yourself the future you want for your children. Is it this?"

"You can answer me. Is it this? Do you feel good about this?" he asks. "You're tough behind your ducking masks and your fatigues with your weapons, but how do you feel on the inside?"

Protester speaks: "with your weapons but how do you feel on the inside"

"This is our ducking community," he shouts. "And we will fight for it if we have to."

Another F*ing idiot... How can it be so hard for these Lefties/Demmies to understand that the US has immigration laws and if you break that law, you are a criminal and should be deported?

Also, please explained to me where these righteous 'virtual' signalers were when Obama deported 3.5million illegals or when Brandon deported millions, way more than Trump. Where were their caring and love for illegals at? As we've seen and heard from these self-righteous people, they see illegals as nothing but low wage workers... what's going to happen to toilet cleaner, lawn mowers, veggie pickers, fruit pickers, hotel cleaners, blah blah blah.

This is typical Lefties/demmies tactic... when they do it, it's perfectly fine and needed. When GOP or especially Trump does the exact same thing, they're all screaming and hollering. It never ends... same playbook over and over again and again.

Trump and Clinton broke the law. They get away with it.
