Perhaps if more people took the tactic of Phil Tagami, the Oakland developer whose newly-renovated Rotunda was invaded by the “Occupiers,” this thing would simmer down a bit. Quoting Phil after he warded off the invaders who had just pushed through his doors: “They took a few steps forward and I racked the shotgun and they left,” Tagami said.
Yes, they had done hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage to his building, but the big, brave phonies didn’t get close to Mr. Tagami.
The problem is, of course, that if one rioter is actually shot then Mr. Obama will be forced to declare martial law. It’s not something he would do to protect peaceful citizens, but these rioters are his people.
