People keep saying this and I personally don't really believe it, I think there could be a couple riots, but not like a full on civil war. What does everyone think?

The only reason they did as much damage as they did, was because actual law enforcement reinforcements were not called in on time.

Let's be clear about this: law enforcement was minimal to begin with, and reinforcements were deliberately refused, because the people in charge of them were trying to help the coup succeed.

Let’s be realistic. If it had been a coup attempt, they would have brought weapons.

To suggest that was an attempted coup, when nobody brought any weapons, is ridiculous.

I heard he was too busy watching television news coverage to be bothered with all that.
