- ugh 16y agoThe problem for the police and hired thugs is that the military is on the street. I don’t think cracking down on the protestors is currently possible without the support of the military. I think that the military is the key actor: Will they use violence is the big question.
- Qz 16y agoWell that's the big question if Feb 2 happens again. You'll recall that the military was on the streets for that entire debacle and did next to nothing.
