136. There is a real danger of a Kent State type incident involving National Guard or police
I think there is a bigger danger of a Tea-Bagger crowd showing up armed. They're not trained or disciplined. They could fire on protesters or just fire a few random shots, which could trigger a volley from the National Guard.

And I agree, the backfire from such an incident would trigger a mass uprising in this country. The danger is that it could be an armed uprising by the right as well as people demonstrating for their rights.
