(Don't forget that during the L.A. riots it was the Koreans who prominently were defending themselves and their property with so-called "assault weapons" against the coloreds.

And the Koreans are even vastly better armed than before.)
I wonder what would be the "main justice" to result from the cypherpunks riots you are advocating?
And just what "cypherpunks riots" would those be? I don't advocate that white rise up and burn down their neighborhoods--Palo Alto, Brentwood, Boca Raton, etc.--as some other groups have repeatedly done (South Central LA, Liberty City, Asbury Park, etc.).
Just a reference to your more than usually histrionic posts of recent days. Some quotes: "May they all be vaporized." "Chiles and his co-conspirators should be shot for high crimes against the Constitution. After Clinton, Freeh, Kerrey, and the other traitors." "Every day that passes, I'm more convinced that McVeigh did the right thing. Some innocents died, but, hey, war is hell. Broken eggs and all that." "Many of us believe crypto anarchy will win out, and governments will be undermined in various ways (including forcibly, using the new degrees of freedom to deploy destructive technologies...hence my "avoid soft targets" line)." I'm sure someone who was more alert than I am could find many similar examples. I would expect a "cypherpunk riot" to be a little more aimed at cyberspace than real-world suburban neighborhoods.
