Here are some random reactions I had while sipping my morning coffee and scrolling through X, focusing on the far-left spasms of violence protesting the arrest of criminals by ICE. As I scrolled, the artillery aspect became paramount as it is the rioters primary weapon, the secondary, close-combat weapon being fire.
Let's do this.
First off, we have the question of projectile size, range and the sustainment of fire.
Just guessing here, but it looks like those noodle-armed soyboys can throw 2# rocks about 100'. Many moons ago, I blew out my arm playing outfield for a softball team after not properly warming up ahead of time. I still remember the exact moment it happened. My shoulder hurts just watching these dorks throw.
How long will it take the riot police to close that 100 foot gap? How much damage will a 2# rock do with a soft ballistic trajectory against men in body armor and helmets?
Moving on, let's look at some close combat.
Nothing says "fighting for the marginalized" quite like pasty-faced radicals and Chicano thugs teaming up to attack a Hispanic's convenience store. It's their typical tactic of ganging up on a property owner who operates outside of law enforcement's protective perimeter.
Here's some more close combat / looting.
The "resistance" isn't targeting ICE units or even things of interest to ICE. They are simply burning and looting businesses that matter to the authorities who support the resistance. Winning!
Before we move on to the authorities, dig the flags being waved. The Mexican flag is ubiquitous in these riots.
Imagine how this is playing outside of the blue zones. In fact, imagine how this is playing in the New York and Chicago neighborhoods where the black residents were enraged when their cities cut their social services to pay for the illegals.
Defensive perimeters have been set up by the rioters.

Returning to the authorities, the LA and California blues are in full Baghdad Bob mode.
Why on Earth would anyone ever post this? It doesn't calm the situation and only shreds your credibility, lowering the morale of your combat units. It's baffling to me. The only explanation I can give is that this is the same thing that was done in the last days of the Ceausescu regime. It's not a news release, it's a loyalty oath.
Here are some more images from the event. See if you can spot the common feature.
Nothing helps out a deep blue politician's 2028 hopes quite like having your amigos wave Mexican flags as they attack law enforcement personnel.
Oh Gavin, sweetie, in those benighted states that are east of the I-15, sending in the Marines to deal with your Mexican-flag-waving rioters and restore order makes perfect sense. Watching these videos, no one cares or even understands the constitutional or legal nuances of how and when a president can use federal forces. If you want to have a shot at the Oval Office, you might want to start thinking about that.
There's lots more out there. Here are some excellent X accounts documenting the riots.
