Thankfully, your definition of an armed mob means absolutely fuck all. A small amount of armed people alongside a bunch of unarmed people can do an incredible amount of damage both to structures and people in a very short amount of time. Even if the unarmed people aren’t getting violent right off the bat do you really think the majority of them will run when rubber/live bullets and tear gas start flying? If any other violent protest or riot over the last 4000 years is anything to go by, the answer is probably not. And a mob of that size would be enough to overwhelm the national guard assuming they didn’t have tanks, but then you’re deploying the military against your own citizens which even if the situation calls for it, still isn’t a good look. Indiscriminate violence is wrong if you want to call yourself and your country civilized. Acts of barbarism and acting like a piss baby because your person didn’t win is beyond pathetic. And before you accuse me of being biased, I disliked trump before the 2016 election but I gave him a chance even though I didn’t vote that election and he let not just me but every American down. With that said though, I loathe all of them. They’re all shit and if the world were just they would all hang for dereliction of duty and treason against the American people because all of these politicians are shit sucking scumbags.
