I'm going to cling on to hope that there is some kind of context missing here, because taking that paragraph at face value is terrifying.

(Example of context I hope is missing would be text like ... "In the event that members of the Occupy Movement have obtained a nuclear weapon and are threatening to detonate it ...")

Nah, probably not. Who cares about the shooting of some homeless and some damn hippies, right?

Edit: Folks, the country I grew up in and my ancestors fought for knew of a potential assassination attempt on innocent civilians, and apparently didn't care enough to warn the cops standing watch.

Forgive me a little fucking gallows humor.

Definitely not the US government which is literally worse than Nazi Germany.

Sheeple need to wake up.

Also lol: Engineer, coder, and all around cheerful human being.

Sorry for the all-caps:

STOP USING THE WORD "SHEEPLE"!

It makes you look like the most mediocre revolutionary that has ever walked the earth.

There are MUCH better terms (no, i'm not going to give them to you, you need to do some research) for the people you have issues with, and your interests would be better served in engaging them in debate rather than quoting XKCD (http://xkcd.com/1013/).
