    All of fuck sticks in uniform deserve a year’s jail time at a minimum. Assaulting peaceful protesters? Fuck that.

      They are traitors to the people/country. Basically the ‘domestic terrorists’ they keep talking about. They deserve way more than 1 year.

        A lot of people forget that our country was founded on gunning down our oppressors and those that stood with them. They think we’re above it now, and haven’t realized that that mentality has specifically been instilled in us over several generations by our new oppressors. Violent actions of the past are seen as justified and heroic, while violent actions of the future are seen as unjustified and barbaric.

            I assume you’re referring to the King, who was obviously safe across the ocean, though if he’d been within reach during the revolution he’d certainly have been a target. Regardless, those who stood with him, such as Butler’s Rangers, were certainly among the oppressors as well, and many were indeed gunned down in battle, or after the war was won if they didn’t either flee to Canada or change their loyalty to the people of the new country.
