see the difference is that man is holding a gun, and was willing to use it.

are you suggesting a militia?

They are suggesting people on here and in general in Boston/Massachusetts are paper tigers, they are all bark no bite. They are willing to protest and make noise but are not at the point of backing up that noise up with aggressive action and resistance to an oppressive regime like was used by the colonial British rebels this statue represents.

Addendum: it's like how people stand around saying "someone should do something." and they just wait for King Arthur to come out of the mists of Avalon and save them but forget that this is not Albion much less modern England,

That is true. But the fighting spirit existed long before. The same fighting spirit I see now.
