Maybe that article is wrong its my source. Expand What is wrong with you? He didn't order any troops yet. Also, the people that would receive those orders will have a lot to say if those orders aren't legal. You seem to confuse media speculation with reality. Start tracking what actually happens and answer a simple question. Did he do anything illegal? If so, what damn statute did he break? 1

I'm just saying it doesn't make any sense to mow down a crowd of protesters when a few people are the problem.

Expand I had drinks with a Pole who grew up under USSR and he teaches American and world history at my school. He points out that the only reason it is popular here is that so many people are willfully ignorant of what it means. 3

Who knows where they're from. Maybe those cities, maybe from outside. They provoke the cops, the cops step in to stop it, and the actual protesters wind up clashing with cops because they don't think they're doing anything wrong. These anarchists know exactly what they're doing. Just use the crowd as a shield to cause as much trouble as possible.
