Herbert Hoover sent the military against protesting veterans in 1932. They even used tanks. He lost to Roosevelt in the next election. Hoover only prevailed in 6 states. The veterans eventually got the bonus they were seeking...

Interesting and worthwhile comparison.
That said, so far as I know, the Bonus March was not marred by violence and looting, and they had a pretty uniform and coherent request.

If there's nothing wrong with having to show an ID to buy a gun, there's nothing wrong with having to show an ID to vote.
For legal reasons, that's a joke.
Debated putting this in funny video thread, but decided to keep it out. Instant karma however, these guys learning that being "good leftists" doesn't matter.

Arsenic & Bayonets
After the cavalry charged, the infantry, with fixed bayonets and tear gas (adamsite, an arsenical vomiting agent) entered the camps, evicting veterans, families, and camp followers. The veterans fled across the Anacostia River to their largest camp, and Hoover ordered the assault stopped. MacArthur chose to ignore the president and ordered a new attack, claiming that the Bonus March was an attempt to overthrow the US government. 55 veterans were injured and 135 arrested.[1] A veteran's wife miscarried. When 12-week-old Bernard Myers died in the hospital after being caught in the tear gas attack, a government investigation reported he died of enteritis, and a hospital spokesman said the tear gas "didn't do it any good."

Just checked...no infantry with fixed bayonets on my street. There is the neighbor's goat, with horns (they're kinda like bayonets), that eats my grass.

Lootie attempted to sack a gunstore , brain looted by owner.
Great story.
Unfortunately, that's about the only thing that will stop this mess. When it gets too dangerous for them and enough examples are made, they'll stop.
