Your conjecture on what would happen?

I'm thinking we'd hear the guy's name used for the next 7 years as a RW talking point against those "looney, dangerous, unpatriotic nutjobs on the Left." Of course, I doubt we'd actually SEE this guy ever again...

5. It would never get that far. He'd get a pair of cement shoes and be tossed off one of America's
crumbling bridges.
