They did at Kent State. Ever hear of Bonus Army when US Troops under the command of Gen Douglas MacArthur attacked WW1 veterans and their families encamped in Washington protesting to get a promised veterans bonus early at the height of the Great Depression ? 2 dead 1017 injured including women and children.

Nothing new here, and remember Shay's Rebellion right here in Mass? Gen Washington led the campaign. 4 killed, many wounded and two hanged after the rebellion was over.

Happened before, will happen again.

Native Americans weren't US Citizens in the 19th Century but were frequently protected by US Treaties and thus protected by the US Govt. Now the Sand Creek Massacre was executed by the Colorado Militia not Federal, equivalent to today's National Guard, Wounded Knee was carried out by Federal a troops.

My open question is when are some of you folks who have been preaching aggressive resistance to the .gov packin' your ruck picking up your AR or AK and heading to Oregon? I've gone thru this whole thread. Is this the new Lexington, is the timing right, or will this just end up being another Waco? Seems to me there are some desperate people out there who are doing what many of you have advocated for years. I'm asking seriously and respectfully. Is this the new shot heard round the world ?
