... most of them armed...
... a good many of them armed with 'assault weapons'...
... and no one died.
In fact, no one was shot.
In FACT, no one was hurt - AND the demonstrators cleaned up after themselves.
If guns are the problem, why did yesterday's demonstration go off just like it would if no one had a gun?
I worried about this last night: Why are you all so pleased there was no violence? I'm not pleased: Machiavelli said it's a lot better to be feared than loved, and nobody is ever going to love the Right except each other, so better be feared, I'd have thought.
BUT SUDDENLY IT CAME TO ME!!
It's the discipline, isn't it?? Blacks mill around burning up their own area stores and houses; Antifa mills around wearing balaclavas and breaking windows and setting fires in garbage cans --- but these groups have no discipline at all and are famously ineffective.
We just saw a BBC video of Shakespeare's Cymbeline, set about 0 BC/AD. Cymbeline says of Julius Caesar that when he came to conquer England, he smiled at the Briton's lack of discipline, and he frowned at their famous courage. And then he conquered Britain (according to the play: I know it was Claudius really) because the Romans had both discipline AND courage.
That's why you are pleased; the rally was a tremendous show of both strength and discipline.
Sooner or later we'll have to fight; but not yet.
