Apparently vandalism, open burning, spitting, throwing stuff, is all mostly peaceful

[mickeyandres]

Why is this being tolerated?
Pro Hamas is not what you want running amok…..
Where is law enforcement?

[iezjeeg]

How could Washington DC let this happen? It’s disgusting. I’m sick of them.

[adityabalachander]

Vandalize? With the utmost respect, writing "Hamas is coming" is a terroristic threat to us all. This went beyond protest, and into the realm of domestic terrorism. The mob shouted "Get him" when a man tried to save the US Flag.

[EMINEM]

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO AMERICA???? HOW CAN YOU LET THIS HAPPEN????

[sues]

That was not just vandalism. That was a threat by terrorists.

[LeMayJamesAaron]

Great way to expose how evil these domestic terror games really are.

[brianszulwach]

So where was law enforcement arresting for vandalism?

[Alteringrealitystudios]

Someone tell me again why they didn't do this in their own country to their leaders that are so oppressive? Which is why they came here claiming asylum? Because I mean these aren't obviously asylum seekers.

[loyisires]

Make America safe and secure again USA 🇺🇸

[Quintesince]

They should protesting against Hamas. Not for Hamas. They should be saying something like "Stand with Israel, free the Hostages AND the Palestines from Hamas."

[iqthrds]

Arrest and deport this is violence not protest😮

[KellAdk]

Muslims showing who they really are!!!

[SimpleJackPC]

Why don’t they just go there and help?

[kathiedavis]

I'm pretty sure that with our borders wide open, that hamas is already here.

[njg.gustav]

This is organized. Someone paid for all those buses.

[kimmiPatterson]

Are any of these vandals in jail? Oh that’s right they aren’t MAGA. These criminals get a pass.

[Tank]

This is why I'm voting for Trump.

[Scout]

This country is collapsing right in front of our eyes and the rich are cheering it on

[margaretkistner]

Anyone jailed, charged for damages? More of this with Kamsla. Remember Trump said anyone damaging our monuments and statutes will get 10 years in jail. This country needs Trump more than ever.
