Reply #10: It was only a month, though. [View All]

And think about those Jewish people in the Warsaw ghetto who bravely held off the might of the German army for a month. You would have told them not to bother would you?

No, I woudn't tell them not to bother, but in the end they died same as the people who didn't resist at all.

Another thing they were doing was continue as much as possible their spiritual and intellectual life while underground. They refused to become like animals in that respect.

Although I'd imagine the police and military will include plenty of individuals who would like nothing better than to shoot a "traitorous liberal" I'd also hope that most will simply refuse to mow down their own neighbors. Sooner or later some of them will be lying awake at night haunted by the images of what they did that day and questioning.
