Ha I get it, OK but I don't think there are any "citizens" left like this in 2021.
Quoth the wiki;
"The Battle of Athens ~ was a rebellion led by citizens ~ against the local government in August 1946.
The citizens, including some World War II veterans, accused the local officials of predatory policing, police brutality, political corruption, and voter intimidation. "
"The ballots, when tallied, proved a landslide for the GI Non-Partisan League. Scores of veterans were present when Speaker of the state House of Representatives and secretary of the McMinn County election commissioners George Woods was marched into the County Courthouse under the guard of ex-GIs. Speaker Woods had fled after the gun battle. League member Knox Henry received 2,175 votes against 1,270 for Sheriff Cantrell."
