                        Her shirt. Spartans. "Molon Labe" is Greek for "Come and take them."

                        At the Battle of Thermopylae there were 5,000 Greeks that went to defend against 120,000 - 300,000 Persians led by King Xerxes. At one point 300 Spartan hoplites went to defend a critical pass to try to stop the Persians (reports of literal walls of bodies that the living Persians had to climb over). It did not end well for the Spartans, but they fought to the most hardcore death you can imagine. Anyway, reportedly, before the battle Xerxes told the Greeks to lay down their swords and Leonidas (Spartan leader) said, "Come and take them."
                        Xerxes sent a Persian emissary to negotiate with Leonidas. The Greeks were offered their freedom, the title "Friends of the Persian People", and the opportunity to re-settle on land better than that they possessed.[55] When Leonidas refused these terms, the ambassador carried a written message by Xerxes, asking him to "Hand over your arms". Leonidas' famous response was for the Persians to "Come and take them" (Μολὼν λαβέ).[56] With the Persian embassy returning empty-handed, battle became inevitable. Xerxes delayed for four days, waiting for the Greeks to disperse, before sending troops to attack them.[57]
                        They fought for three days, all 300 Spartan hoplites died but they took thousands of Persians to the grave with them, according to Herodotus. Reports say there was a literal wall of bodies that advancing Persians had to climb over before they could attack in the later hours of the battle. (There was a whole naval battle that went along with this also... in total something like 3,000 Greeks died and and total Persian deaths were 20,000+)

                        If you have some time to kill you should listen to the episode of Hardcore History called "King of Kings." It covers this in incredible detail, and it's amazing.



                        Standing up to the Persians there unified the Greeks back home to actually get their shit together... this battle has been called one of the tipping points actually shaped the world and allowed our current "western" world to even exist today.





                        tl;dr: you missed the irony of a "come and take them" shirt, with a Spartan logo, while protesting to reduce and/or eliminate gun rights...

                          • This is awesome. I was wondering how long it would take for them to set these traps. It makes it so much easier to catch "leakers" when you set them up.. Now indict their asses.
                            The leaks are real; the news is fake. That’s the underlying dynamic behind ‘Black Hat Hunting’. The PR Firm for the corrupt U.S. intelligence apparatus known as The Washington Post, runs a story about H.R. McMaster being fired tonight. The Washington Post quotes “five people with knowledge of the plans”. Except there’s a problem, there […]
