That's one definition of armed. What if only one person had had a bat? Two people? When does it become generally described as "armed"? 99.9% of the people had no weapons other than their bodies. 100% of the people didn't have firearms. Saying it's armed and leaving it at that is a bit misleading, don't you think? Also I wouldn't call it interference when clearly Congress is less representative of the people than...the people themselves.
However I think this argument won't go anywhere. Clearly the difference between us is that you have a faith in authority that I simply lack. This discussion is really religious in nature and highlights the extent to which different groups of people have diverged in this country.
All I can say is, if you had a little more faith in the common people and a little less in authority figures you might have a more optimistic outlook on the upcoming century.
- taylodl 2y agoWhen does it become armed? When several officers get beaten. Meanwhile, faith has no place in this discussion. Either you believe in the rule of law, or you don't. If you don't believe the law applies to everyone equally, regardless of their social status and wealth, then you don't believe in equality for all: which is one of the founding principles of America. Trump supporters have repeatedly thumbed their nose at the idea of equality of all before law and I can therefore only conclude that they're anti-American. Why should I put faith in people who are anti-American?
