Seattle WTF???

I've been trying not to mention how ironic it is that people who feel so strongly about the second amendment as a means to enforce their will on the government, can't seem to understand that it's the EXACT same concept when using bricks instead of guns.

I think most bricks were not used to fight the US government but to break windows to gain access to free shit.

I understand what you mean but I think you have this backwards. The people who are strongly in support of the 2A generally aren't trying to force their will on the gov't. They talk of using guns to keep the gov't from forcing it's will on them.

It's a two-way street. People don't need to rise against their government when they are in agreement. Those clowns that wanted to graze their cattle on public lands for free were absolutely trying to force their will on the government.

Who goes down in history as being unlawful depends on who wins.

Yup. Everyone is a hero in their own mind - and pretty much every position is justifiable from a unique perspective.

Controversial case in point: An SS officer could've carried a belief that through genocide, there would be fewer deaths going forward into perpetuity because racial conflicts would've ceased. If they had succeeded, there might have even been a small aspect of truth to that - note of course, that I find everything about what they did abhorrent, as it is playing "god". Still, history is written by the victor, and an individual can rationalize anything to be positive if they just shine a light from the right perspective.
