Have you read CIA reports?

Flash pogroms and terrorism. Sometimes by law enforcement. In other words, not a stand up fight, but a bug hunt.

That's what's going to suck. The war might only last a couple months but I can't imagine months of bombings and violent demonstrations in every city across the U.S.

The us gov is not going to bomb cities and kill innocent citizens and I'm frankly sick of seeing idiots repeating this insane concept.

I think you may have added the "us gov" part from inference, vigilante citizens and vigilante cops have bombed American cities and citizens in the past, and will again.

Sorry buddy, it's not going to be the U.S. government bombing cities and killing innocent civilians.

You've never heard about the Tulsa massacre, have you?

[–] Bonskreeskreeskree@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (2 children)

White mobs are not the us government. There was no bombs dropped.

The US has bombed its own citizens twice. First in 1950 it bombed the Puerto Rican towns of Jayuya and Utuado, then in 1985, the Philadelphia police dropped a bomb on a residential neighborhood while targeting MOVE.

If we were to go down the road of military and police violence against US citizens it would be a much longer list.

So in other words, you haven't.
