When will we do the same here in the USA? When will we say, "Enough!" as our government and our police forces continue to abuse their power?
Well, it took Syria (and the rest of the Middle East) a few hundred years. I don't see a U.S. revolution happening in our lifetime. Sorry.
The United States of America was formed on a revolutionary idea: That we, the people, should be free to protest what we perceive as wrongs without fear for our life, liberty, or pursuit of happiness. What the hell happened to that?
I'll direct you up to your Fundamental Truth:
Those in power tend to stay in power. And they'll do whatever it takes to ensure that.
Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
