So, lets say we get to August or some summer month, and 4,000,000 people are protesting right out front the white house.

Do they send in the tanks? Do they kill 1,000,000 people? Would republican civilians see empathy for the dead americans who were democrats? Or would it unite the nation like 9/11 did, except this time against the government?

    You mean like they ‘didn’t’ at Kent State?

    Don’t kid yourself; they absolutely will. Going by our history, though, if they can they’ll do it to a black neighborhood first.

      You are more supporting my gut feeling here by invoking Kent State. A handful of people died there; hundreds+ died in Beijing.

      A situation like Kent State is very possible but they will have learned the lesson and it won’t be NG or other armed forces opening fire. It’ll be the obese SA or a right-wing militia that opens fire from a sniper’s nest.
