i am more worried about something far worse and closer to home:

....................................................

Of Course They Will (Fire On US Citizens)

(recall the kent state 4)

....................................

we’ve discussed the possibility of US law enforcement and military assets being deployed to Main Street at the onset of any major crisis.

Discussions by our comment contributors included all manner of thought on such a scenario, with arguments for and against the possibility that troops, police and private contractors would, if ordered to, fire on US citizens.

As we’ve seen in the middle east over the last several weeks, and are seeing in real time in Libya today, once military is deployed things can spiral out of control very quickly.

So while I can’t answer the title’s question for you I can offer my own opinion as to whether or not Americans will be fired upon.

The short answer is that of course they will.

Why would you think otherwise when US history offers up dozens of examples to choose from. The powers that be are ego maniacs, the elites have hundreds of years of experience controlling the masses and the masses are mostly living their lives in denial. I consider it inevitable that when the uprisings begin and they turn really ugly that those who are paid to protect the powerful and their assets will follow orders and do precisely that.
