Getting prepared, educating others (friends and family) - I hope... It’s not like this is in everyone’s backyard yet. Many don’t even see what’s happening - they have no clue. THAT’s the biggest problem. One of the reasons it’s getting violent right this moment is because of Congress investigating all of the scandals perpetrated. Again, most people don’t even know what Obama has done. To do my part to defend liberty I’m trying to rectify that, at least. I’m not just debating this here at FR. I’m actively challenging my counterparts on the other side - even if we aren’t engaging in violent action. There shouldn’t be any problem with defending against the most violent, but there are others to convince of the error of their ideas, too.
Those are just my thoughts on the matter.
As far as defending people in our country, perhaps we need to beef up security at these events to prevent an all-out slaughter? Let people be aware, this isn’t a game, and these violent people are serious. After all the trouble in past years with jihadist extremists and attempted plots they really shouldn’t be this complacent still. It is my opinion that these confrontations WILL escalate.
For all the bravado talk in forums about such a situation, it is good to question if we are truly prepared to deal with this kind of situation. Didn’t they surround a car in Oakland last week too?
For all their ‘right’ to protest, they violated the “Right” of those attending the Tea Party Event.
