This is shocking stuff.

"An identified [DELETED] as of October planned to engage in sniper attacks against protestors (sic) in Houston, Texas if deemed necessary.

[DELETED] planned to gather intelligence against the leaders of the protest groups and obtain photographs, then formulate a plan to kill the leadership via suppressed sniper rifles.

...

This [DELETED] identified the exploitation of the Occupy Movement by [LENGTHY DELETION] interested in developing a long-term plan to kill local Occupy leaders via sniper fire."

Ah, if only there was as much diligence paid to this sort of thing as to file sharing and drug enforcement and server seizures. I guess the common man isn't as important, you know?

Hey, fellow techies--this is something you should be really concerned about. Selective enforcement of the most crucial laws (don't murder, conduct attacks, etc.) is really horribly bad for business.

It's not news because it cannot really be blamed on Obama or "the liberals".

Now, now, let's be constructive. Party politics is how they keep the people too divided to change things.

Please knock it off. This isn't the right forum for undirected political raving.

That nick appears solely dedicated to douchebaggery. It's not political raving, it's targeted at making fun of the members posting here.

To be fair, a great percentage of the comments on these topics sound exactly that ignorant. Maybe there's an echo chamber effect where reasonable people just stop reading/participating in these threads, because to my eye it's been getting worse.

I can understand why someone would be driven to mock them.

It got an upvote from me because there has been an awful lot of windy political rhetoric around here lately, accompanied by a fair degree of personal invective.
