“One million or more of the assembled 10 million must be prepared to stay in D.C. as long as it takes to see Obama, Biden, Reid, McConnell, Boehner, Pelosi, and Attorney General Holder removed from office,” Riley explains in a promotional email about his plan.

If this occurs I can only guess that Obama would repeat the actions of Hoover expelling the Bonus Army. Only I expect that Obama would not be as gentle as MacArthur was against the WW I veterans. I foresee blood in the streets.

I was not aware the MacArthur was gentle. I think there WAS blood in the streets. I decided to Google. There are a lot of articles. Reports ranged from 2 or 3 killed to 1600 killed mostly women and children. Here are two illustrating the range. By all means Google some more.
