Actually on FB their event notice says they plan to overthrow and this will be the final protest.

Lotsa popcorn needed. I support ALL citizens who have the courage to fight tyrannical governments. Are you not American?
Or did you just miss out on our history?

That's a wanton insult, if ever I heard one. It's not that I missed out on history, but that I'm all too familiar with it. There's a huge difference between sympathizing with the sentiments of the mob and understanding that mob action almost never leads to anything positive. By the time it reaches that pass, it's usually too late.

The American Revolution wasn't a mob assault on an existing order, but a structured war between two governments, predicated (on the American side) on the institution of rights that had been unjustly usurped ... a principled stand, unlike the current French mob, which is upset because its pockets have been raided, and would be just as content with any tyranny, so long as it tyrannizes in a manner seen as favorable to its own peculiar wants.
