Yes, I did make a point. Whether you left voluntarily, or you were

not stay and fight.

Just asking as a disinterested observer, how could one " *stay* and fight"
if they were " *removed* at gunpoint"? It seems it would be difficult to
stay when you have been removed, does it not?

And, more to the point, there was no "fight." There was opposition in the
press and the political parties, but much of that was silenced by a good
beating, a convenient disappearance or imprisonment.
