Situations like this really underscore what the true nature of government is: the threat of deadly force and a will to carry it out. All interactions with the State boil down to that. Every single thing the State does is predicated on that at the most fundamental level.
There is no greater biological imperative than to protect one's offspring, but people are put into situations where they are denied that most primordial act because armed agents are there prepared to murder a parent who does protect their offspring. It's no wonder people are so screwed up mentally, spiritually, and emotionally now. It's like the caged animal at the zoo who becomes so overcome by neurosis that it starts doing things like gnawing itself raw, banging itself into walls. That's what our whole society is now, a human zoo. I guess Alex Jones was onto something with his whole "prison planet" motif.
Surely they realize they are creating millions of those caged lions banging their heads onto the bars of the cage. Of course they do. Hence the dramatic increase in their preparations to wage war upon the citizenry.
