You should read the Declaration of Independence - there is a path laid out:

First we must articulate our grievances

Having done that, we must prove, both to ourselves and to the rest of humanity, that all attempts at finding a political solution have been completely exhausted.

Only then is it reasonable, logical, that we take up arms. We aren't there yet, and in fact it is unlikely that we will get to that point.

Should we find ourselves there at some point in the future, we will discover some challenges unique to this age - challenges that George, Thomas, and Ethan, did not have to contend with.

We saw those challenges in Libya. We saw them in Iran. We see them in Tibet and Syria.

Our system of government does provide mechanisms that should make such an eventuality unnecessary. Yet it is true that even with those mechanisms some of us may yet still be lost, sacrificed in the effort to restore this nation and it's promise of equality and justice for all.

We know this to be true, because it has happened before, in Mississippi, in Alabama, and at Kent State.

Those who plot the violent overthrow of the government are guilty of treason.

Keep this to Democratic action.

This is why our country needs funding for more mental institutions. People like kwb62 should not be allowed on the streets. They pose too much of a danger for both themselves and society.

Yes its the same mindset as the Ayers: Rules For Radicals preaches where the ends justify the means. kwb62 might just take out 10 civilians with him, but that would be ok with him, because its all for the cause. These radicals are all mentally unstable.
