Yeah, no one has ever shot an American politician.
I can see you're quite the history buff, even recent history.

Now why couldn't we have a revolution, guillotine some pols, and tel the world to fuck off in the same way? People are getting tired of not having jobs because our companies chopped up and sold so many companies, and will say "Fuck this, we want a change!"
Don't think it's not possible. Might take awhle but I think it will happen, eventually. Bastille Day, Muthafukkas!
eh, if you look at France now... they've been protesting against the Sarkozy presidency ( and its numerous scandals ) for a while. getting rid of the monarchy fixed the royal problem!
i'm all for revolution... but back then, they didn't have tanks and choppers to fight back protestors.
Right, and as you can see in the ME protests, the military seems reluctant to fire on the protesters just because the regime might want them to do it to keep stablilty. We can only hope that our troops will be similarly reluctant, and let us pull the plutarchs out of their limos and fuck 'em up with our relatively puny small arms.
The Nat'l Gaurd might be reluctant to shoot up a family of protesters, but the cops wont. They'll happily beat down anyone who's "stepping out of line".
In the paper, seems a florist
Found in Lincoln Park, died of some anemia
No one raped her, poor Doloris,
Just detained her and drained her on the spot

From what I've read, they were all isolated incidents by violent paranoid/delusional people. You know, crazies?

People are way too busy buying $1000 dollar Apple products and "Facebooking" with friends, to begin any sort of uprisings.
Can't even imagine any U.S. city ever pulling a Tahrir Square. No use speculating about things that'll never happen.
