I'm already over that - I'm pretty sure most of those calling others feds are actually feds themselves. It had a chilling effect for a while, but the stakes are too high for most to care anymore.

Interesting that the guys had to break into a Nat Guard armory to get weapons needed to stand up to a Sheriff who no doubt had subguns and high power semi-auto rifles.

From wiki, read all the way to the end from "aftermath". Copy/paste

On January 4, 1947, four of the five leaders of the GI Non-Partisan League declared in an open letter: "We abolished one machine only to replace it with another and more powerful one in the making."[20] The GI government in Athens eventually collapsed.

Power went from 1 corrupt group, to the other. Nobody ever reads to the end. Every time I see posts about the battle of Athens, I point out the end result. I will get plenty of comments saying "by god they stood up for something you pussy faggot, what have you done?????"

I commented the end of the story. Wiki link, sorry, wiki link. I don't have any other sources.
