We could say the same about another kind of fighting: Politics.
Certain political parties (er, both) would rather win elections than tell the truth, stick to an ideal, do what's right, etc.
Still, it's laughable to think all these old grandparents are going to "take" Darlington, arrest mayors, cops, and sherrifs, stop traffic on the interstates, pull illegal aliens out of cars, etc.! I don't think they'd need the Army to put that down!
Who said anything about arrest , more like a tree with a short rope or a wall and lead.
If we are talking in “the abstract” an actual constitutional revolution would be started by one step too far by the government. (ie: Taking our weapons)
Ordinary people would then use the OWS rule book. We occupy Washington. We live in the “peoples house.” We allow no government to meet until elections.
Uh...I mean in the abstract.
