Will not be too long from the looks of things until history repeats itself. When/where do you guess it will go down and will media report it?

Just read Unintended Consequences did you? The Battle of Athens wasn't something that was planned out, per se. It just sort of happened. You had some men doing bad things. You also had some fresh-out veterans who weren't going to take too kindly to being pushed around and illegitimate voting. These men had just crushed an oppressive government around the world, they sure as hell weren't going to let a few deputies push them around. There were guns nearby with men trained to use them.

Those types of circumstances aren't likely to be encountered again the same way. Doubt we'll ever see anything else that is like the Battle of Athens. I'm guessing, however, we will see another time where some people with private arms stop something from happening. Hell, what was that story in Arizona where the townspeople had to march in and slow-down / stop a corrupt local government.

Battle of Athens (1946) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The Battle of Athens (sometimes called the McMinn County War) was a rebellion led by citizens in Athens and Etowah, Tennessee, United States, against the local government in August 1946. The citizens, including some World War II veterans, accused the local officials of political corruption and voter intimidation. The event is sometimes cited by firearms ownership advocates as an example of the value of the Second Amendment in combating tyranny.
