Satire..
SEND IN THE MOUNTIES!!! Tromple their grandma's with horses, seize their bank accounts! How dare they stand in the way of government oppression! IT'S AN EMERGENCY AFTER ALL!!!!
If it's not being done already, monitor their e-mails and phone calls! Who are they talking to? Who are the leaders? What give's these fringe natives the right to demand anything?!
Did I hear someone say they might have, possibly could have, maybe there was, looked like, someone said, something about a firearm?!! THAT'S IT, CALL SWAT OUT TO CLEAR THEM OUT!!! CONFISCATE THEIR SHARES!! FREEZE THEIR ACCOUNTS!!!
Ya, all sounds official to me.
