It doesn't matter if they have weapons or not. A revolution cannot be done without the implicit or explicit support of the army.

If enough people are revolting that the members of the army can't bring themselves to shoot them, they don't need weapons.

If, on the other hand, the number of people revolting is small, whether they're well armed or not the army or the police will crush them.


The number of people revolting didn't sound small to me... either way, we're about to enter the part I hate most about these types of events.

The US Media apathy pase...  where all the news dries up and you don't know what's going on until something happens, which it probably won't because these types of revolutions now a days usually needs the support and pressuring of a western nation.
