"I will venture a prediction. When the mass riots come to America, and they will come, those in positions of 'leadership'will attack Americans who attempt to defend themselves, their families and their property."

They already are! What did Bush call the Minutemen??

[investigateworld]

Actually, Bush is correct in calling them Vigilantes. The Vigilante Committees of San Francisco came into being because government was corrupt and would not protect honest citizens. Sounds similar?
And anyone familiar with California's history would know it's not an insult to be considered a Vigilante.
One of the leaders was William T. Coleman, a wealthy merchant and is famous for starting the 20 Mule Team Borax wagon runs out of Death Valley.
So Mr. President, you'll have to do better than that to insult honest Americans.

I mean physically attack; i.e. arrest, beat, shoot and everything else necessary to smash and destroy any resistance.
