Documents reveal FBI treated occupy movement as domestic terrorism, considered using snipers to take out leaders

I love how if this had been a story about the FBI planning to assassinate prominent Tea Party leaders, GLPers would be in full-on 'revolutionary doom' mode. Tinfoil hats would be in place, guns would be locked and loaded, quotes about watering the tree of liberty would pervade the air.

But, since it's about OWS, all we get are mostly comments expressing agreement and support of the FBI, because, you know, OWS are domestic terrorists or something and WOOHOO kill those sons-of-bitches!

What fucking bizarro GLP have I wandered into where posters root for the bad guys like this?

Goes to show that 99% of GLPers are more concerned with superficial political differences (OWS are all leftists, therefore it's cool if the FBI takes down a few of them) than any real big picture (the government assassinating citizens of any political affiliation is not cool).

Nobody here is awake, despite claims to the contrary. Not really.

well isnt that just nice, citizens using their right to protest is seen as terrorism

OWS were not just protesters. They WERE domestic terrorists. The stated goal of many of them was to bring economic activity in the US to a halt and collapse the system. What's the difference between that and a cyberattack from China?
