I think there's going to be a lot of trips to the emergency room. "Uh, Miss Karen, if you just relax your ankle a bit we might be able to get your size 11 foot out of this guy's a$$hole...." [Can I say "a$$hole" on this blog?"]
On the serious side, is this serious? I knew about this creepy "civilian core as powerful and as well funded as the military" but do these jackasses really people people won't be chasing them off porches with shotguns?
WTF do they think they are?
I remember reading a book, quite some time ago, I think it might even be reading for young teens that was called "The Wave." It's aimed at a teenage audience, but it's a good read for adults as well.
It's based on a true story. A high school history teacher was non-plused how his students (most of them) "shined on" his history lessons on the holocaust "it wouldn't happen here" -- He wanted to really teach them a lesson, so he decided to see if he could instill his class (and the school) with a "Group wa" where they had "discipline" and responded to platitudes about one for all, group harmony etc. Really good microcosmic implementation of the sort of thing Hitler did with german society at large on a classroom level. Not many students "questioned" (the smartest few did) but the bulk went along with it. There were some independent thinkers. The principle made him call it off, and they did by having an assembly...and the teacher announced "all these last few weeks, high schools just like ours have been organizing the "Wave" in their schools, we'll have an assembly, and have a closed circuit talk from the head of this organization" -- of course at the assembly the kids were greeted with chilling video of Hitler at a Nuremberg rally.
Well worth a read.
In real life, the teacher was so unnerved by it all (and the unintend power trip it gave him) that he never repeated the experiment again.

I want to see their ID, and THEIR residence address, phone number and their friend's names and addresses and phone numbers for my own petition.
-AND-
Then I will want to see the record of those who have already signed the petition....and will ask for copies.
If they are still on my porch, I will politely ask them to leave or I will call the authorities to arrest them for unlawful tresspass.
Hopefully, I will be cleaning Snuffy Sr. or the good Rabbi Mossberg when they come to call.
I knew that laser i had developed was for a specific purpose
And one of the joys of living in a condo comes leaping to mind: I never, ever get door-to-door solicitation.
It almost makes it worth the association fee...

"Get Off My Lawn!"
Heh.
I intend to open the door open-carrying my .357 mag.
I want to see them pee their pants.
Holy CATS!!!! That is scary!
Attack dog Stella, is armed and prepared for battle--they better not show up at my front door!
From what I read on Monday, the nationwide meetings generated incredibly low numbers and phenomenally low signups.
