How many humans throughout history have blindly followed orders into deadly confrontations though.
There's always going to be "generals" manipulating the "grunts" to do their bidding and follow orders
Now it's no excuse sure, but the majority of people are stupid and will blindly follow for a cause they believe is right & just even if to others it may not be.
I feel sorry because they're not bad or evil, they're just naive and stupid like many people on this planet, they're just human, I'd say while they might seem crazy, they're more humane than most for being willing to die for their beliefs which are inherently good beliefs, ie the quest to make change for a better world. Sure the methods aren't exactly the best, but their motives are good.
As for the whole child thing, they went in there peacefully, they always claimed it was a peaceful protest and would only ever discharge their weapons if they were fired upon, so they didn't take their kids to a gun fight. I'd say they would be bad parents if they left their kids behind, I see no difference with them taking their kids to what was a peaceful protest to parents taking their kids to church and indoctrinating religion into them but that's all opinion based and is really moot for this discussion so let's not get into such discussion as it deviates from the on going situation.

Great, when are you posting the video to back up your claim since you were there or are you just jumping to conclusions because you dont trust the Govt?
Likewise.
It boils down to who do you trust.
The Federal government?
Not me my friend, not me.

There will be no revolution.
Most people don't care and are quite happy with their lives.
A few are not and type angrily on their keyboards, a few pointlessly occupy government land.
The rest know they could never win an armed conflict with the government.

This.
The way to start a revolution is not with guns anyway. That has been done ad infinitum. It's ideas now. It's an information war.
I don't know for sure who's right or wrong with this Bundy thing. I've just been everywhere too much. I'm not a republican or a democrat. I don't take sides. I'm not with anybody right now.

it's amazing how you guys bristle at the suggestion the POTUS is to blame for anything that happens under his leadership. Yet, you all still blame bush and that includes obama himself!

He says Obama should be impeached over this for ordering in the FBI
Really, I mean really? Why does it always have to go back to f*cking Obama.
What was the situation surrounding the man's death? How was he executed?

I don't see why that is funny. You and yours had a continuous supply line also when you were having your skull cracked at OWS in the city where it was easy to get supplies around every corner. They are in the middle of nowhere. The cannot just swing by a corner store (or loot one like the other BLM) when they run out of batteries or a bottle of water, so they will need to rely on the generosity of others.
I dont see why you have been placing yourself above them just because you got smacked around, and still accomplished seemingly little to nothing. Trying to make yourself feel better?

Just out of curiosity, during the first revolution the war for independence in the US which the nation is wholly founded upon. Would you consider that era to be a civilised society ? Was society civilised during the civil war also ?

As long as a Democrat is in charge, the government is good. As soon as a Republican gets back in, they'll be ranting about revolution again.

Actually the left doesn't really do that as much as the right does when the left is in power.

Actually, you're full of it. How old were you during the Bush years?
Talk of assassination and revolution was RAMPANT. Main stream media referred to the Bush admin as "The Bush regime". Multiple movies were made depicting the assassination of Bush.

And you are remembering things VERY differently. First, I didn't say it didn't happen. I said that it doesn't happen as much as the right does it to the left, but as I recall Bush strong armed most of the media into being gung-ho patriotic with him for the longest time. Remember this gem?
