If i'm dismisive of your plans, its because this rambo mentality some people have, especialy you younger folks (How old are you again?) is kinda silly. Instead of planning for "The day that never comes" why not do something positive with your time and money? Maybe plan on changing things with the ballot before you dream of changing things with a bomb.

i dont understand why you think that im sitting here hoping for everyone to start revolting. I know for a fact that if the citizens try to do anything, the military would snuff us out in an instant. All i ment is that even though it will probably never happen, i would be more than happy to fight against the government. Now that is only if we cant change shit before hand and violence is a last resort

Maybe they had them there to protect the dignitaries?

i am strawmanning you a bit, but you did say you were going to go out and buy an assualt riffle when you turned 21. which reminds me, just how old are you?

....those kids were idiots, im kinda glad they got maced in the face, if there's no assembly why the fuck do you have to stay there? i know the cops weren't justified, but it doesn't take too large of a brain to understand it's time to leave when they threaten tear gas, rubber bullets, and mace, but i guess that's just my cruel dog eat dog conservative mentality.

I totally agree with you man, I think it is very possible that the people of this country could revolt against the government if things got bad enough. And I would definitely fight them if we had to.

I believe you're missing the point. This entire event is more evidence to the fact that our Constitution and civil liberties are being brushed aside for the sake of government interests.

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

- US Constitution

Government is supposed to keep us united, safe, and free. Government is not supposed to divide, endanger or enslave.

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.

- Thomas Jefferson

You would suggest that citizens should bend over and take it up the ass, effectively conforming, simply because they are, from what I can tell, unlawfully threatened by their own government? There are so many things wrong with that I can't even begin to imagine why you would suggest it in the first place. The United States wouldn't even exist without people standing up to unjust government rule.

Our police shouldn't be threatening citizens for their right to assembly or free speech. Our police should be protecting those rights and those citizens, not shooting them with rubber bullets, tasers, tear gas, or sonic weaponry.

Wake up.

Edit: Just to be clear, I'm not necessarily advocating violence against the government or anyone else, I'm simply of the mind that this kind of behavior from our government against its citizens shouldn't be tolerated or accepted.
