THIS is how you can tell that these "revolutionaries" aren't taking law enforcement or the government seriously.
You don't dress up with your balls hanging out in a red riding hood costume if you think the 'revolution' is going to engage the military and police.
To them this is where they get to yell "FUCK YOU DAD!" at the cops and feds and nobody can touch them at all because they're just playing.
THat's why they freaked out when two got killed and Lefty got made.
The other side isn't SUPPOSED to fight back. What they're fighting is institutional, not actually existing. They're fighting against the IDEA of it, they don't want to actually take on anyone who might fight back.
Otherwise Little Red Ballsack up there wouldn't be anywhere near where gunfire was going to pop off.
