In one of the short reports I saw, it mentioned some were off-duty police officers. Not sure how accurate the reporting is on this as to the number involved, but there seem to be more attacks by illegal migrants in the bigger cities on officers and citizens. I think this has already been going on, but the number in this seemed excessive. Except when we lived in Cali, it wouldn't have been unusual outside a Home Depot. We didn't have nearly as many illegals in the country back then, but they often hung out looking for day labor kind of jobs. They estimated there were around 12 million in Cali for years. But I think it was actually closer to 20 million. We never believed what TPTB said about that because of what we saw with our own eyes. And we didn't even live in a big city, but near enough. We were born and raised there, but because of the uncontrolled immigration and the cartels that came with it, the crime skyrocketed. Our little county was one of the few that voted conservative. Mostly farming and ag-related businesses. But we weren't far from Reedley, where they just found the Chinese lab. It was once beautiful and the people were mostly great. A lot of legal immigration, as well. But those people wanted to be Americans. We didn't have the kinds of assimilation problems you see now. It became more of an invasion before we left. The drugs and cartels changed everything. But perhaps this is what was needed to wake people up.
Interesting. I was born and raised in SoCal, and left when I was in college. I could see then the demographics were changing, and not in a good way. I remember the illegals outside Home Depot - it was where you went when you needed some guys to rip off a roof! I've been in Alaska well over 30 years, but until the 90's I traveled back to visit family. It got worse and worse as time went on - I can only imagine what it's like now. Thanks for the update, fren.
We used to love living there, but it's the unreal liberal policies that ruined it. And people are dying because of it now. When we still lived there, my parents, who had moved to Idaho about a decade before came back to visit. My mother cried, seeing what had happened to it. Glad you don't have to go back anymore. Alaska is beautiful!
