I don't think people are going to engage in violence against the National Guard for the sake of illegal immigrants, but Trump is counting on violence so he can take it to the next level. If he declares Martial Law, there will be massive protests but hopefully, no violence.

I remember watching MSNBC coverage and saw Ali Velshi get hit in the leg by a rubber bullet.

Martial Law......martial law. Like martial arts. Martial.
Not trying to be a dick, it's my flaw that causes this usage to bother me so no offense intended.
