By having armed protesters show up at the local government administration buildings.
That war is still raging, BTW.
Those were very good people too.

These insurrectionists need to be put to the test of whether they shoot at an officer of the law, or obey the lawful commands of an officer of the law. Their pretense they are law-abiding patriots of heroic mien must be stripped from them, revealing they are outlaws or cowards.

(35,374 posts)Just having people at home saying "arrest them" doesn't get the law passed and on the books.
Yea, if you threaten someone with a weapon -- that's illegal. Already on the books.
And I guarantee you they would have been arrested if they were left of center or non-white.

I wish the F*** the Native Americans had had a Department of Homeland Security...........AND a border patrol......

(35,374 posts)The armed protesters were in the background. Unarmed protesters went in and took over (on camera).
The armed folk, in masks and making explicit threats against people and from time to time actually putting holes in desks, walls, and floors (not just being intimidating by standing there or protesting) tended to be off camera.
The armed folk also had on masks and uniforms, Russian but with the identification of country/unit/name removed.
What nobody's telling me is that the armed protesters went in, took hostages, rounded up people having threatened to kill them (and shooting some rounds to punctuate their speech), and promptly started to administer things themselves.
These aren't trivial differences. Students have gone in and done a more serious job of taking over administrative offices than these bozos did.
