Biblical Foundation: Standing on God’s Word in Times of Civil Unrest
Before diving into the chaos unfolding in California, let’s ground ourselves in Scripture and biblical survival principles. Romans 13:1-2 reminds us:
“Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.”
When rioters throw Molotov cocktails at federal agents enforcing legitimate immigration laws, they’re not just breaking civil law – they’re rebelling against God’s design for order and justice. This biblical worldview forms the foundation of constitutional conservative survival preparedness.
The Spark That Lit the Fire: ICE Raids and Violent Anti-Government Riots
On June 6th, 2025, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents conducted what should have been routine federal law enforcement operations in Los Angeles. They arrested 118 individuals – not minor immigration violators, but people with serious criminal histories including convictions for murder, rape, and robbery. These are exactly the kind of violent criminals that ICE exists to remove from our communities for public safety.
What happened next should terrify every law-abiding American.
When Federal Law Enforcement Becomes the Target of Anti-Police Violence
By Friday evening, hundreds of protesters had surrounded federal buildings in Los Angeles. The Department of Homeland Security reported approximately 1,000 rioters engaging in violent attacks against federal agents. This wasn’t peaceful protest protected by First Amendment rights – this was coordinated anti-government violence against law enforcement officers doing their sworn duty to protect American communities.
The weapons used against federal ICE agents included:
- Molotov cocktails (resulting in attempted murder charges)
- Rocks and concrete chunks
- Fireworks used as explosive devices against police
- Various projectiles thrown from makeshift barriers
The 101 Freeway was blocked by anti-ICE protesters, preventing emergency vehicles from reaching those in need. When your family member is having a heart attack and can’t get to the hospital because rioters are “protesting” the arrest of convicted murderers, the true cost of this lawlessness becomes clear to any survival-minded patriot.
The Looting and Destruction
As night fell, the “peaceful protesters” showed their true colors:
- Apple Store looted
- Adidas store ransacked
- Jewelry stores burglarized
- Pharmacies cleaned out
- Multiple fires set in dumpsters and trash bins
- At least one store had windows shattered by looters
Nothing says “justice for immigrants” quite like stealing iPhones and sneakers, apparently.
The Ultimate Contradiction
Perhaps the most infuriating aspect of these riots was the symbolism on display. Rioters burned American flags while simultaneously waving the flags of countries they had allegedly fled. Think about that for a moment – people protesting the enforcement of laws in a country they chose to enter illegally, while destroying the symbol of that nation and celebrating the symbols of the nations they left behind.
This isn’t about immigration policy. This is about fundamental respect for the country that gave them refuge.
The Federal Response: When Local Government Fails
President Trump’s response was swift and unprecedented. He federalized the California National Guard without Governor Newsom’s consent – something that hasn’t happened since 1965 during the Alabama civil rights era. The deployment included:
- 2,000 National Guard troops
- 700 Marines from Camp Pendleton
The message was clear: Attack federal agents, get a federal military response.
The Escalating War on Law Enforcement
The statistics paint a disturbing picture of what’s happening to our law enforcement officers. There’s been a 413% increase in assaults against ICE agents nationwide. These are the men and women trying to arrest murderers and rapists, and violent mobs are attacking them for doing their jobs.
Criminal charges filed in connection with the riots include:
- Attempted murder with a Molotov cocktail
- Assault on police officers
- Looting and theft
- Failure to disperse
Every one of these federal agents has families at home – wives, children, parents watching the news and wondering if their loved one will come home safely. And for what? So California politicians can virtue signal about how “compassionate” they are toward convicted felons?
A Tale of Two States: California vs. Florida Gun Rights and Law Enforcement
The contrast between how different states handle law and order, Second Amendment rights, and anti-riot legislation couldn’t be more stark for constitutional conservatives and survival preparedness advocates.
California’s Dangerous Path: Anti-Law Enforcement Policies
Governor Newsom has positioned himself as actively resisting federal law enforcement and constitutional authority. He’s filed lawsuits to stop what he calls the “militarization of Los Angeles” and accused the Trump administration of using armed forces against U.S. citizens. But here’s the problem – when rioters are trying to murder federal agents with explosive devices, those rioters aren’t acting like law-abiding U.S. citizens.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass claimed the city was being used as a “test case” for federal overreach. The real test is whether local authorities can maintain basic law and order while respecting constitutional principles – and they’re failing miserably.
Florida’s Stand for Law and Order: Pro-Gun, Pro-Police Leadership
Governor Ron DeSantis offered a dramatically different perspective, calling the Los Angeles riots “a farce” and “political theater.” His response perfectly captured the absurdity of California’s anti-American stance:
“You come from a foreign country illegally into our country, you burn the American flag in protest of them trying to send you back to the country whose flag you’re waving. Can you please make this make sense to me?”
DeSantis made it crystal clear that such riots “would never fly in the state of Florida, not for one minute.” He referenced Florida’s anti-riot legislation and even offered to send Florida National Guard troops to help California – an offer that was predictably rejected.
What Florida Got Right: Anti-Riot Laws and Constitutional Self-Defense Rights
Florida’s Anti-Riot Legislation: The Gold Standard for Constitutional Conservatives
Florida’s response to the 2020 BLM riots was decisive and constitutional. Governor DeSantis signed what he called the “strongest anti-rioting, pro-law enforcement piece of legislation in the country” – House Bill 1, also known as the Combating Public Disorder Act. This legislation serves as a model for other red states seeking to protect law-abiding citizens from violent leftist mobs.
Key anti-riot provisions include:
- Enhanced penalties for crimes committed during riots or violent protests
- No bail for arrested rioters until their first court appearance
- New felonies for organizing or participating in violent demonstrations
- “Aggravated rioting” as a felony offense for serious anti-government violence
- “Mob intimidation” as a misdemeanor when three or more people use violence or threats to change someone’s political views
- Existing misdemeanors like blocking highways during demonstrations upgraded to felonies
Legal Definition of Riot in Florida (Critical for Patriots to Understand): A person commits a riot if they willfully participate in a violent public disturbance involving three or more people, acting with common intent to assist each other in violent and disorderly conduct, resulting in injury to another person, damage to property, or imminent danger of injury or property damage.
The Florida anti-riot law has survived multiple court challenges and is currently enforceable, giving Florida law enforcement the constitutional tools they need to maintain order while protecting Second Amendment rights.
Florida’s Self-Defense Laws: Protecting Families When Government Won’t
Florida doesn’t just punish rioters – it empowers law-abiding gun owners and constitutional conservatives to protect themselves and their families. These self-defense laws represent the gold standard for patriot protection.
Stand Your Ground Law (Florida Statute 776.013) – Essential Knowledge for Gun Owners: Passed in 2005, this groundbreaking self-defense law allows individuals to use force, including deadly force, when they reasonably believe it’s necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm, without any duty to retreat. This applies anywhere you have a legal right to be – not just in your home. This is true constitutional carry philosophy applied to self-defense.
Castle Doctrine – Your Home is Your Castle: Florida law presumes that anyone unlawfully entering your dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle intends to commit violence. You have the constitutional right to use deadly force to protect yourself and your family without obligation to retreat from your own home. This biblical principle of protecting your household aligns perfectly with Second Amendment rights.
2017 Legal Improvements – Burden of Proof Protection: Florida shifted the burden of proof from defendants to prosecutors in self-defense cases. If you claim self-defense, the prosecutor must prove your actions were unjustified, rather than you having to prove they were justified. This protects law-abiding gun owners from prosecutorial overreach.
Practical Protection Tips for Armed Patriots:
- Stay off roads during protests to avoid blocking traffic charges
- Don’t engage with counter-protesters or leftist agitators
- Retreat from situations where individuals become violent (unless retreat would increase danger)
- Document any threats or aggressive behavior for legal protection
- Call law enforcement immediately if threatened, but be prepared to protect yourself
- Know your rights under both Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground laws
- Avoid any protest activity that could be construed as riot participation
- Maintain situational awareness and tactical mindset at all times
The Survival Mindset: What This Means for Constitutional Patriots
Constitutional Crisis in Real Time: Federal vs. State Authority
What we’re witnessing isn’t just about immigration policy – it’s about whether we still believe in constitutional government, federalism, the rule of law, and the protection of innocent citizens from violent criminals through Second Amendment rights and strong law enforcement.
When state and local officials actively obstruct federal law enforcement, they’re not just violating their oaths of office – they’re dismantling the entire constitutional federal system. If California can ignore federal immigration law, what stops them from ignoring federal gun laws? Tax laws? The Constitution itself? This is exactly why the Founding Fathers included the Second Amendment – to protect against tyrannical government overreach.
Location, Location, Location: Choose Your State Wisely for Survival Preparedness
The contrast between California and Florida reveals a fundamental truth for patriots and preppers: Where you live determines whether your government will protect your constitutional rights or protect the criminals who want to hurt you.
If you’re a law-abiding gun owner in California right now, your state government has essentially announced they won’t protect you from violent criminals if those criminals happen to be illegal immigrants. That’s when the Second Amendment becomes more than just a constitutional right – it becomes a survival necessity and your primary home defense strategy.
The Nehemiah Model: Biblical Survival and Family Protection
Scripture gives us clear guidance on protecting our families. Nehemiah 4:13-14 tells us:
“Therefore I stationed some of the people behind the lowest points of the wall at the exposed places, posting them by families, with their swords, spears and bows. After I looked things over, I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, ‘Don’t be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your families, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes.'”
Notice that Nehemiah didn’t just pray about the threat – he armed his people and positioned them strategically. When ICE arrests murderers and rapists, they’re doing exactly what Nehemiah commanded – protecting families, sons, daughters, wives, and homes from those who would do them harm.
When rioters attack those federal agents, they’re attacking the very people standing between your family and violent predators.
The Bottom Line: Are You Prepared?
The events in Los Angeles are a warning sign for every patriotic American. When federal agents can’t arrest violent criminals without being attacked by mobs, and when state officials encourage that resistance, we’re not far from complete societal breakdown.
Key Questions Every Patriot Must Answer:
- Are you prepared to protect your family if local authorities decide enforcing the law is optional?
- Do you live in a state that supports constitutional order or one that protects criminals?
- Are you trained and equipped to defend yourself when government fails?
- Do you understand your legal rights and responsibilities regarding self-defense?
Action Items for Patriots:
- Know your state’s laws regarding riots, self-defense, and constitutional carry
- Consider your location – does your state government support law enforcement or obstruct it?
- Get training – both tactical skills and legal knowledge
- Stay informed – understand what’s happening in your community
- Stay armed – within the bounds of your local laws
- Stay faithful – remember that our ultimate security comes from the Lord
Conclusion: Choose Your Side in the Fight for Constitutional America
The California ICE riots represent more than just civil unrest – they represent a fundamental choice between two visions of America. One where federal law applies equally in all states, where criminals face justice, where law-abiding gun owners are protected, and where constitutional conservatives can live freely. The other where local communities can nullify federal authority, where violent criminals are protected from law enforcement, where Second Amendment rights are trampled, and where chaos reigns over constitutional order.
Romans 13 calls us to respect legitimate governing authority. Nehemiah 4 calls us to fight for our families when they’re threatened by evil. Both biblical principles apply today for Christian patriots and constitutional conservatives.
When your government prioritizes protecting criminals over protecting law-abiding citizens, when they attack federal agents for arresting murderers and rapists, when they trample on Second Amendment rights and constitutional law, you better be prepared to protect yourself and your family through legal self-defense means. Because they sure as hell won’t do it for you.
The choice is clear for every patriot: Stand with constitutional law and order, or watch America burn under leftist anti-government violence.
Stay armed. Stay informed. Stay faithful. Stay constitutional.
