Do you think this could ever happen here?
not on this scale, and not to this extreme.

a metaphor, if you will.

1. Certainly in isolated incidents
The murder in TX of the Black man dragged behind the pick-up truck comes to mind.

But I don't think any kind of really public display like this would happen.

In a war zone, though, sure.

2. Yes
It may... even the wives, and perhaps the adult children too.

3. um guys
that's the death of Il Duce.

what I'm getting at is, do you think we the people will ever rise up against the insufferable criminals who have stolen our democracy, and kick them out?

4. December 26, 1862 in Mankato, Minnesota.
"Initially, 303 Sioux prisoners were convicted of murder and rape by military tribunals and sentenced to death six weeks later. "

Ultimately, only 38 were hanged in a mass hanging.

9. Nope. Sorry, the bovine masses of this country will go quietly to the slaughterhouse before they
will ever be moved to resist. As long as the masses have their McDonalds and iPhones and American Idol, the Ruling Class is quite safe from any large-scale unpleasantness.
