That census worker was a government worker-that makes them god to us.
That woman dared to bare arms against her god. Not being authorized by massah the census god called up backup-some tin badge gods who now are on paid vacation pending the whitewash "investigation".

Yes the beast wants people to shoot back to make excuses to the slaves on why they have to give up the privilege of owning guns.
Convince Americans to change the local government and kick out these thieves and murderers? It'd be nice if people got smart and did more of that and less of hunting fresh Jefferson quotes...
So barring an infusion of smarts it's a no win situation. So how do we lose?
