Another 'expert'.

Duh. I am surprised the rioting hasn’t started.

[Crim]

Yeah we like to call it FREEDOM.

[Texas Eagle]

Oh. “Experts”, eh? Sounds like George Soros is gearing up for Phase II.

“There is that part of the US political psyche that takes rights to a complete extreme,” said Brown, adding that “mass civil unrest” is an ever present possibility due to Americans sharing a “deep independent streak that believes the government is a nice-to-have not a must-have.”

He's not all wrong.

They put the Fake in Fake New. Wow.

[Ouchthatonehurt]

Sounds anecdotal to me!

Some foreigners will never “get” America because they fail to read our founding documents.

It’s OUR country, WE are the sovereign.
We LEND our power to the government, they govern with OUR consent.

That consent can be withdrawn.

[Tuketu]

Pure BS by a NON AMERICAN. He probably was 4 gun confiscation where he is. He DOES not know what he is talking about but fits the current ANTI- TRUMP rhetoric I see in UK press

[Impala64ssa]

And why hasn't the ACLU chimed in with their concerns about CIVIL LIBERTIES? They're quite conspicuous by their silence.

“...“There is that part of the US political psyche that takes rights to a complete extreme,”..”

Rights - because we have them and don’t want to lose them.

[Osage Orange]

Yeah..."EX" is a has-been.

And "s pert" is a dribble of water...or piss.

[Responsibility2nd]

Mass civil unrest?

Drama Queen detected. Over blown hyperbole.

[P-Marlowe]

Long overdue. If you’re not willing to fight for liberty then you have no right to it.

To the libs a peaceful protest by conservatives is violent unrest.

We will start with peaceful demonstrations. Let’s see how the fascists react.

[jetson]

Sounds like we are going to have more dead guys.

An obvious expert...

I have always drawn a distinction between the ‘civil’ and ‘uncivil’. It’s kinda obvious after all, isn’t it. What’s wrong with a little civilized protest? What government officials, and I mean individual gubbermint elected officials should fear, is protest of the uncivil variety. They should be damn scared actually. This tension should exist in our society and I believe our founding fathers intentionally wrote our constitution to allow it. It is a healthy and natural thing for a free people to do when tyranny has become the norm. Our constitution has an escalation built in - free elections, free speech, free press, peaceably assemble, petition grievances and then the freedom to bear arms. The latter is there for a purpose and it must have been on the minds of our founding fathers given that they just rebelled.

‘When the people fear the government there is tyranny. When the government fears the people there is liberty.’ Thomas Jefferson (I think).

[Dutch Boy]

As a friend used to say, “If they are worried about civil unrest, why are they working so hard to unrest us.”

[DoodleDawg]

Sure it is.
