In researching President-elect Trump’s pick for DHS Chief, General John F. Kelly, I learned that he led a squadron of U.S. Marines in Los Angeles during the 1992 Rodney King riots.
Of course most ‘aware’ people don’t like the idea of “troops in the streets” and military used as domestic law enforcement. They might immediately use this fact to demonize General Kelly and post sensational headlines such as Trump’s DHS Chief Ran Gitmo, Led Troops On U.S. Streets!!
While both of those facts are 100% true, and I don’t agree with either troops on streets or the existence of Gitmo, or even the existence of the abominable ‘Dept. of Homeland Security’ Agency in tbe first place, Kelly seems like a sincere and genuine man. I like him.
Kelly himself served three tours in Iraq and says “I was kinda tired of the war…This war stuff is hard.” He adds “There’s a lot of things that have happened in the ‘war on terror’ or whatever we’re calling it today,” allowing a not-so-subtle cynicism to slip through.
Kelly is the highest ranking military man to have lost a child.in combat. Kelly’s youngest son Robert was killed in Afghanistan in 2010. [See DHS Chief “TIRED OF THE WAR”.]
Anyway- while searching for footage of General Kelly commanding troops on U.S. streets, I couldn’t find any, but found some very interesting footage of the riots that is very captivating to watch. One of the clips is of a young Harvey Levin, who worked as a street reporter for CBS-2 at the time. With fires erupting around him and troops driving by with rifles drawn, it looks like something out of one of my favorite movies of all time, 1984’s RED DAWN.
The story of my experince in the Rodney King riots is beliow the video.
An interesting side note: Most people do not realize that when actor Mel Gibson was arrested for DUI maby years ago in Malibu, the Jewish police officer who recorded Mel’s rants against “Jew-started wars” gave the tape to Levin, also a Jew, who leaked it. This was later admitted in legal proceedings which forced Levin, who later ‘came out of the closet’ as an open homosexual, to become involved.
Levin interviewed Donald Trump at his mansion last week.
I actually have a very interesting story of the L.A. riots. I lived in Orange County at the time, but was in L.A. County visiting my family when the riots began. We saw the evil thugs nearly kill truck driver Reginald Denny on live TV, literally bashing his brain in. It was horrific.
So one of my sisters lived in Avalon, on Catalina Island at the time, and she had scheduled a visit for that day. She was coming over on the boat to San Pedro, and I had to pick her up. San Pedro is not a good neighborhood. It is very close to the infamous Compton. In neighboring Long Beach, (which is actually where Gen. Kelly and his troops are reported to have been deployed,) two white guys on a motorcycle were pulled off their bike and shot by rioters, simply for the crime of being white. One died and the other survived. So I had to drive through these riots to get to the boat to pick up my white, blonde-haired sister.
As I left my folks house to go pick up my sister, my mom, dad, my other sister and ber boyfriend all stood in the driveway wishing me a safe bon voyage into the insane jungle of Los Angeles.
Let me tell you, everyone I know was “prepared” in their vehicles that day and for months afterwards. I assured my family that I was not gonna be a Reginald Denny. (Poor guy lived but had severe injuries and permanent brain damage as a result.) Excuse my French but fuck that. I told my family I would run the $#÷=ers down if they tried that insane murderous shit with me. No way. Where I come from we don’t go for that. We have a God-given right and even a responsibility to protect our life, family and property.
The L.A. Times reports that at least 63 people, maybe more, were kill3d that day, April 30, 1992. Ten of those were shot aad killed by police, so they don’t count in the ‘riot victim’ category.
Terrible situation. I was not going to be one of their victims, and neither was anyone else I knew. Everyone was on extremely high alert for some weeks afterwards.
When I got to the San Pedro boat terminal, I pulled up as close to the door as I could and ran inside to look around. My sister was nowhere. I couldn’t find her. So finally, I left. It turned out that she had indeed seen the news of the riots and decided not to come, but was not able to reach us by phone until later. All was well.
The victims asked the cashier to call the police, which they did. So the assailants were trapped in the drive-thru lane, with their indignant bloody victim in front of them, refusing to move his car, and me parked behind them.

Was I there?
Hell No!
I left that rat hole well before that.
But I did watch that freak show on TV – maybe even KTLA
I was there the first day. Watched it live from the very beginning.
Left early the next morning for a cribbage tournament up in Quincy, CA. The smoke was so thick you couldn’t see more than a mile in any direction.
Hated leaving Quincy.
*** I never dreamed that I’d say that I like the head of DHS. ***
No one who cares about freedom would ever say such a thing.
*** But I’ve done some research on this guy. He actually wants to protect the country. ***
Oh, okay…
The DHS is one of the alphabet agencies freedom-seeking Americans need protection FROM. Even the author admits that the DHS is an abomination. So how can anyone who (rightly) feels that way have a positive opinion about someone who wants to lead that agency? And this is someone who once led troops against Americans on US soil, no less. F-ck this General Kelly turd.
*** He has said thing such as “In my experience the further you get away from Washington the better things work.” ***
Yeah, yeah…sure.
Lots of assholes in DC talk a good game about the evils of big government, only to turn around and support the growth of government. Should we believe their words or their actions?
*** The L.A. Times reports that at least 63 people, maybe more, were killed that day, April 30, 1992. Ten of those were shot and killed by police, so they don’t count in the ‘riot victim’ category. ***
Why the hell not? Why is a killing by a pig automatically assumed to be any more justified than any of the other killings? US police wrongfully kill people all the time. Conversely, at least some of those who were shot by armed citizens may have been shot in self-defense.
This piece may have been originally posted on a website called “Liberty Fight,” but its author doesn’t seem to understand who the enemies of our liberty actually are. Yes, illegal immigrants are problematic, and common street thugs are a safety threat worth being mindful of, but neither of these groups are a direct threat to our liberty. It’s “our” government and its scumbag mercenaries who pose that threat.
Well said .
Spot on. Who does this ahole think dhs protects US from? It certainly isn’t “Islamic terrorists” that are currently attacking us here. Their sister agency, the fbi, has to constantly set up retarded people and the both of them are who are manufacturing false terror events. Meanwhile, NONE of the alphabet agencies do a gd thing about our southern border being an open gate for a horde of barbaric non-Nationals. So what does the author like about this faggot boot-licking traitor? Oh, he called the wetbacks “illegal aliens”. Pretty f’g low bar to get this guy to suck yer a$$.
