The Pentagon is conducting surprise military drills with increasing frequency around the country, alarming citizens and acclimating them to the presence of obtrusive combat technology and simulated warfare. The latest in-your-face training exercise occurred in Plainville and Worchester, Massachusetts. As usual, most citizens were unaware of the drills until helicopters swooped over their neighborhoods. “Many residents were surprised and scared Wednesday evening when military helicopters descended on the vacant Wood School into the late hours of the night in a scene that might have appeared to simulate the United States’ special forces attack on Osama bin Laden’s compound last year.” the Sun Chronicle reported on Friday. “The helicopters were landing around the Worcester Memorial Auditorium in Lincoln Square and buzzing neighborhoods, prompting many telephone calls and e-mails to the Telegram & Gazette from residents curious about what was happening,” another newspaper reported. Even the cops were clueless. “A police officer sent to close off Main Street at State said he did not know what was going on, leaving the people around there to wonder. Left to their own devices, people thought the hubbub might be that it was filming for a new Sandra Bullock movie or that it was part of a police effort to round up all the gang members or prostitutes in the city.” “We apologize for any inconvenience or unforeseen disturbance,” said Maj. Emily Potter, public affairs officer for the U.S. Army. A Plainville bureaucrat who signed off on the U.S. Army Special Operations Forces exercise was miffed the operation went past midnight. “A 6-year-old would have more common sense” than to continue a military exercise in a residential neighborhood at that time, he said. Black helicopters swooping over residential homes and simulated warfare in the public space after midnight are obviously designed to send a message – the military will do whatever it wants, whenever it wants and the irritation voiced by citizens is not a consideration. The Federalist Papers are replete with warnings about standing armies and how they are used to deliver tyranny. The framers of the Constitution objected to a standing army because a “standing army in the hands of a government placed so independent of the people, may be made a fatal instrument to overturn the public liberties; it may be employed to enforce the collection of the most oppressive taxes, and to carry into execution the most arbitrary measures. An ambitious man who may have the army at his devotion, may step up into the throne, and seize upon absolute power.” “Newspapers editorialized after the American Revolution against standing armies, referring to them as ‘that great support of tyrants’ and as a ‘manifest danger to public liberty,’” writes Laurence M. Vance. Now, as reportage carried by Sun Chronicle and the Telegram & Gazette demonstrates, newspapers are not particularly concerned by the manifest dangers standing – and drill-obsessed – armies pose to liberty. Instead, editors and reporters are star-struck by the awesome power of war machinery on parade and if there are any complaints to be reported from citizens, it concerns sleeping children past midnight, not tyranny.

Ha...and the knuckle-draggers think their 100 rounds mags will 'get the job done'. Drones a swarmin' baby...drones a swarmin.
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
30,000 drones will blacken the sky at the DNC convention. Woe unto thee who steps outside of the razor wire "free speech zone". Occupy will be kettled and pepper sprayed but good... women and children first. Officer Tony Bologna spices things up with some pepper spray.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
Yea, your home boy James Holmes thought that didn't he!!

Lest we forget. Truthfully I'm surprised he had the guts to use a gun, normally you guys just set a bomb somewhere and run or get some child to do it!! Then again maybe he didn't, he may have forgotten to take his Ritalin...

He could of, as his background indicates, leveled the whole block. Bullshit aside, these are the crazy ones that all should fear. Silent is deadly...and until the last, this dude was basically 'silent'.

I have no doubt there were people (besides his mother) who had an inkling that this guy was a tooner, but for some reason they didn't say anything or the authorities didn't choose to do anything about it....
