Those Mexican Flags are planted

[malaise]

Deliberately and not by progressives.

[tetedur]

1. When they claim it's a Mexican insurrection, counter with Jan.6 was a Confederate insurrection.

[Nittersing]

2. We should flood the protests with US flags.

Let the feds look at a wave of red white and blue.

[canetoad]

3. That would be a great visual

Armed troops facing down their own flag.

[malaise]

4. Love it

6. Mornin' you

It's 12c and freezing rain here but I'm burning with anger about what's happening in LA, Hope you're well.

[Nittersing]

5. Yup.

I think that visual could be very effective.

[LaRaven]

8. And all the protesters singing God Bless America.

That visual/audio would certainly rattle the Administration

[Polybius]

15. Just not "Proud To Be An American"

Or anything from Lee Greenwood.

[a kennedy]

7. And make sure they're upside down?? Or is that out of the question and defeating the purpose???

I’m hanging my US Flag upside down on June 14th.

[msongs]

9. got proof? those flags are pretty standard at many kinds of protests...protestors have learned zip in 40 yrs

[Celerity]

10. Do you have substantive proof, or is this just speculation?

[Polybius]

14. Don't expect an answer

It's complete speculation.

[harumph]

11. Can't know for sure, but wouldn't surprise me.

[hardluck]

12. Hardly

It's typical to see the Mexican flag at protests, at parades, flying from the back of a pick up, on bumper stickers, etc. This is normal in LA.

[Polybius]

13. There's too many of them

Plus I've seen a few close-ups and interviews with those with flags.

[Jack Valentino]

16. Please elaborate on that..

[Polybius]

18. They don't fit the bill of the KKK or Nazis or just plain ol' right-wing extremists n/t

[LexVegas]

17. ..

[WhiskeyGrinder]

19. why are people saying this?

[berkerly6240]

20. Theres too much history of the ill use of the Mexican flag at these protests...

it will just piss alot to Americans off whether its justified or not.

[Melon]

21. Every close up I see is Hispanic or masked waiving them....

They need to stop for optics. But nobody is going to believe there are “ operatives” waiving those flags. A large part of the population are from Mexico.

[ribrepin]

22. That was my thought as well

I saw one clip that looked like World War II after the French were liberated.

[leftyladyfrommo]

23. I just saw yesterday that LA has more

Nonwhites than whites. There are a million nondocumented people in LA. Maybe they are just showing support for all the Hispanics that live and work there.
They are vital to the whole community.

[Renew Deal]

24. What makes you think the demonstrators are politically "progressive?"

The people out there have an interest in this situation. It doesn’t mean they are aligned with a party.
