I am really curious what he expects the Guard to do other than violence.
They can pick up the trash and answer phones, but they can’t do the jobs of government employees because they don’t have the specific training. They can’t be judges, or police and the are not trained teachers, or in many cases are even college graduates.

So what exactly are they going to do?

Of course it would be interesting since they are also state employees of a sort, and many have family members who are going to be effected, it they pulled an Egypt and did essentially nothing.

Because if they act out violently against unarmed adult civilians, things could get extremely ugly and the after shocks could last for decades.

Oh, and because of the Republicans, a lot of adults now own multiple assault weapons and have been primed by the Republics to want a violent revolution against a repressive government and to feed the tree of freedom with the blood of tyrants.
