Near Riots at UCLA Over Proposed 32% Tuition Hike [More]Hey, it's not like the Marxists on the university payroll--or any of the cops behind the barricades--wouldn't be rioting if they had to take a 32% pay cut. Besides, somebody planted the idea in the the students' heads that the world owes them an education.
What this brings to mind is how potentially explosive things are. While CNN did it's best to paint Oath Keepers as alarmists inventing non-existent threats without cause, it really doesn't take much imagination to conceive of catalysts that could spark scary civil unrest. And it's not much of a stretch to think that some could be killed by authorities as a result. Or vice-versa. Prompting more violence and more crackdowns.
And what if violent resentment spread to other cities?
How sympathetic do you think those "restoring law and order" would be to claims that people in the conflict areas have a right to keep and bear arms?
Be nice to think if you were caught up in that, some cop or National Guardsmen would be remembering their oath, wouldn't it?
