I don't know if we need the Marines, but would think probably not. However, the attacks seems well-coordinated and violent, which implies to me a certain degree of sophistication and funding. I couldn't say whether intelligence suggests greater violence on the horizon. With respect to National Guard, well, it seems the LAPD was unwilling to assist, the governor and mayor has made their feelings clear on the attempt to enforce the law, so deploying the NG makes sense. The rioters are wrong, great, we agree. I would think the onus would be on the state to deal with rioters, violent extremists, and stay out of the way of federal law enforcement activities. I don't think that's happening, so the federal government needs to provide support for federal law enforcement activities. I would also hazard a guess to say that those directly impacted by the rioters, insurrectionists and fomenters of violence would willingly accept the assistance of the federal government as the state plays politics on the sideline and not give a **** what that looked like. All they likely see if the time, effort and money put into building their lives, homes and businesses treated as fodder for extremists and at the whim of government officials unwilling to apply the law. In that regard, btw, the locals would not be unlike the liberal politicians huddled behind walls andpeople with guns and a willingness to use them on 1/6. Given the choice to dispatch the 1/6 rioters with extreme prejudice, bring in the National Guard, the Marine Corp, the First Infantry Division and any and all in-between, they would have chosen to do so to protect themselves regardless of rules, laws and regulations.

Sir, that would be called an axe. Your nickname in this thread could be lumberjack. As for your other "points" I simply respond that there are only so many things one can do with a stadium, and for an outdoor facility the Bills are taking advantage of all of them. Do you really believe the technology has not improved with respect to the grass field and roof heating? How about the installation of dedicated cell networks and a completely separate technology building to bring state-of-the-art connectivity for fans and allow for future expansion? The glass and perforated metal look that will surround the stadium aren't a new design? Again, I don't understand the basis for your repetitive and crusade-like negative posting on the new building.

Probably that pesky Tenth Amendment.

Press Gaslighting on Los Angeles Riots Reaches an Astoundingly Disturbing New Low The situation in Los Angeles has continued to escalate, with the LAPD and CHP now becoming prime targets for anti-ICE rioters. On Sunday, videos emerged of violent masked individuals throwing chunks of concrete onto California Highway Patrol cruisers, destroying several of them in what can only be described as attempted murder. https://redstate.com/bonchie/2025/06/09/press-gaslighting-on-los-angeles-riots-reaches-an-astounding-new-low-n2190223

This guy woke up Muppy. You still can too.

So they had to overpay for resources. They never should have agreed to using all that local spending. And Terry should have went with a dome Yes, Terry amd company said that was what they based it on. Terrible decision

That is telling. If the staff thought this guy would have a shot at starting, I don't feel they would have spent all those resources on DE

No really. He had 134 defensive snaps last season. 59 of them came in week 17 against NE. The remaining were mostly clumped in three other games, two of which were blowouts. So not a lot of meaningful defensive snaps. He did play a fair bit on Specials tho with 241 snaps. He seems to be a regular presence there. LINK

I have two also, the standard Jazzmaster, and this open face Skeleton I got hoodwinked on. It displayed great in the store, because, as I found out, the lighting in the store is designed to enhance everything. Got it home, threw it in the dresser, didn’t wear it for months. Finally do, can barely see the hands, they get lost in the open face, can’t tell what time it is. Basically, I bought a bracelet.

I do!? I have half the amount of posts in this thread as the leading poster, and only 60% of the second most. Can you tell us about all the leading edge technology? Is it the grass field with grow lights that Green Bay and others have been using for decades? Is it the fact that we are installing the same radiant heating technology that is in the current stadium and was installed over a decade ago? Is it the canopy that is a lesser copy of Tottenham’s almost decade old design? Is it the snow melt system that was copied from the Vikings who built theirs a decade ago? (ours will be bigger/more advanced though) From what I have seen and read, we are installing features that have been in other stadiums for decades and calling it ‘leading edge’ because it’s new to us. If we have genuine innovation in this stadium then that is awesome, but everything I have seen is a copy of old-ish technology that is borrowed from other stadiums who have had it for a while. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So if you think it looks modern and cool, that’s great! Personally, I think it looks old and boring. Someone else mentioned that it looks old because it’s based on Tottenham - which was designed almost a decade ago. So it’s already based on an older design. I thought that was a good point.

HMMM... What made you come to that conclusion? This is a brilliant thought 🤔 😂

Patriots should sign him so him and Diggs can fight every day at practice

I see him as a 5th round pick as well🤣😂

We are working on the regression analysis. Early data suggests TDS grade and shlit posting barrage levels r squared = 0.947 up from earlier calculation of 0.945.

I've heard of him!

A really important question! The short answer is that ICE needs to consistently overstep their authority in order to meet the high daily deportation quotas that the Trump administration established. This overstepping of authority is the specific reason for the ICE protests, regardless of what MAGA’s may try to argue otherwise. The longer answer is that authoritarians use the dehumanization process* as a cudgel for increasing power. What it means to dehumanize, in the legal sense, is to not respect certain rights as universal that are supposed to be thought of as such: due process, free speech, no cruel/unusual punishment, recognition of international law, etc… As soon as the citizenry sees these rights infringed upon, it is their duty to protest and disobey so as to not normalize the aberrant behavior. Intelligent people will understand how the dehumanization process is an eventual boomerang**. MAGA populists, meanwhile, easily fall for the scapegoating*** of brown immigrants (illegal or legal). * - Other examples of creeping authoritarianism: ignoring and undermining decrees from the judicial branch, subsuming the powers of Congress to set tariffs, circumventing the Congressional “power of the purse,” crafting unconstitutional executive orders, increasing voter disenfranchisement, leaving military spending unfettered, hosting military parades, and normalizing military responses to domestic affairs. ** - Speaking of boomerangs…it is said (by some French guy, I think…Foucault?) that fascism is imperialism turned inward. So when an empire expends money and energy abroad to the neglect of its own citizens, the domestic decay leads to internal instability. The government will then attempt to stabilize using tactics it perfected abroad. The point here is that the MAGA authoritarianism we’re witnessing isn’t a black swan event, but rather the predictable product of unchecked post-WW2 imperialism (along with Reagan neoliberalism). *** - Culpability lies with the people responsible for labor exploitation and the people who destroyed collective bargaining leverage in the United States.

They added 3 players who can play DE though - bosa, jackson, hoecht.
