There have been many disgraceful images and videos coming out of Los Angeles during the past week or two. No matter how much Karen Bass, CNN, and MSNBC want to call everything happening there 'peaceful' (and hoo-boy, are they doing that a LOT!), we all trust our eyes and ears more than their lies.
But the video below, while non-violent, might be the one that has pissed me off the most.
A young Marine, sent into Los Angeles by President Trump and Pete Hegseth to guard a federal building, is simply standing his post when he is accosted by a whining protester who 'demands' answers, tries to insult the Marine, and claims to be 'disrespected.' Watch:
Imagine being a full-grown a** adult telling a 20-year-old Marine he’s “disrespecting” you—for doing exactly what he’s sworn and authorized to do. 🤡

These young Marines represent everything that’s right—and they give me so much hope.

This individual claims to be a union worker, but based on his haircut and fanny pack, he is probably in a teachers' union at best, or maybe he's an SEIU activist. Certainly, he's not doing a hard-working union job.
Kudos to the Marine for maintaining his calm and composure and not giving the adult toddler standing in front of him even the courtesy of sustained eye contact.

You want to know what skills he is learning in the Marines? How about the skill to maintain his self-control (something the protester never bothered to learn) and resisting the urge to plant that sign somewhere very uncomfortable in the societal parasite's bodily orifices?
As the original poster noted above, the Marines are everything that's right about America. What is unsaid -- because it's obvious -- is that the protester is everything WRONG with this country.
Democrats hated the Army over the weekend and they’re hating the Marines now.

They HATE you. https://t.co/DIdWjoeXbh
They hate America and they hate Americans. Hating the military is just a symptom of that.
They want the country we love -- and that young Marine loves -- to be 'fundamentally transformed.'
Gee, I wonder where, and from whom, they learned that?
Hysterical Man: “What skill are you trying to get out of the Marines?”

Marine, just by his look: “Idk, controlling my emotions in adulthood because my Momma didn’t raise no b***h?” https://t.co/QbrELLhLQp
What skill am I trying to get in the Marines?

I'm pretty good at killing commie union members. https://t.co/hme9oi8RMU
That's probably what most of us would have said. The Marine didn't. Because he is a Marine.
But speaking of skills, I'm pretty sure that every Marine has more skills in their pinky finger than this protester has learned over an entire failed lifetime.
Gosh. I don't know, but at one point my son SGT Matt was in control of rations for the 2nd Marine Division. He was controlling 24 or 25 million dollars of inventory

He was about 25 at the time. https://t.co/IlvJSLFByR
What skills ? Lets start with Patience, discipline, hard work, setting and achieving goals, physical fitness, ability to show up on time, confidence, accountability, teamwork, just to name a few

The 'union worker' has none of these.
But it was the 'disrespect' line that was the most ridiculous.
Someone should tell that protester that respect is earned, not given out like a participation trophy.
"I can't "disrespect" you if I never "respected" you." https://t.co/kjQvypNcG1

Exactly.
I started working with the military when I was about the same age as new officers. I still work with them, they are younger than me now, and I respect them more than I did. https://t.co/9bYnOX4N6b

Maybe the most hilarious 'respect' that the Marine showed was not even acknowledging the existence of the screeching harpy standing in front of him.
Imagine being so irrelevant that a Marine is scanning around you for real threats like you’re not even there 😂

One thing is for sure. If the left thinks that their behavior sells with anyone but the tiniest percentage of the worst anti-Americans in the country, they are in for a rude awakening.
It's often easy to tell if someone has never been punched in the face, and it’s not the Marine. https://t.co/cMWyDnPnCU

I don’t think the left understands the growing and ravenous appetite on the right for dealing with these pieces of crap in all contexts. https://t.co/DIdWjoeXbh
— Kurt Schlichter (@KurtSchlichter) June 16, 2025
Oh, I'm pretty sure that it's not just the right.
The left continues to believe they can act like petulant babies in public and that it will sell with Americans. They couldn't be more wrong. America is DONE with these childish outbursts.
It's why the Democrats' approval rating is now sinking below 20 percent. It's why a random person at another LA riot took matters into his own hands with an NFL-quality tackle when a 'protester' attacked police. It's why people in cars are not stopping anymore for mobs that try to charge their vehicles.
And it's why this particular LA protester should thank his lucky stars that the Marine he confronted has far more skills than he ever will.
But he probably should pray nightly that he doesn't run into that Marine's father anytime soon.
