When peacefull revolution is impossible, violent revolution is inevitable.

This is a brazen attack on our First Amendment rights, worse than that MIAC report that recently created such an uproar and which was "retracted."

But now they are back, and more in-your-face than before, declaring the exercise of our civil rights is "low-level terrorism." If we can't protest, and must just shut up or be subject to punishment (tasering, etc.) by the RobotThugs, we have lost EVERYTHING, and are no longer in America.

There must be a protest, of SOME sort. The more silent we are, the bigger and more swollen grows the bully. It's basic psychology..from as far back as kindergarten!

Ah! Fear-mongering is a great thing, ain't it? Can't wait till they start hauling us all into the FEMA camps for anything and everything. Maybe then, it'll sink in on the rest of the sheep that we really do live in a police state under fascism
