“I bet they’ll be outgunned.”
Community organizers and SEIU are paid soldiers. Protesting is their job. Actual people have real jobs and responsibilities. Us actual people don’t grab our tea-party signs and rush down to counter-protest against thugs who will be backed up by union police and other government paid workers with guns, riot gear and gas.
Ordinary people expect their elected representatives to do their job so that ordinary people can continue to provide for their families. So, no, they won’t be outgunned until they actually resort to guns and paramilitary force. But these people, except for the SEIU purple-shirts, aren’t really soldiers and probably don’t have guns.
The scary part of this is the President of the United States urging people to violence. Remember him saying, “Get into their faces and yell?” That’s assault. We all know where assault leads.
So, what you're saying is that for the most part, they're mercenaries.
Whereas people on our side are, essentially, volunteers.
History reveals that all other things being equal, the advantage is with the volunteers, I believe.
