It seems like that may have been a primary qualification.

Seriously, with all the horrible tales of what happened in that island being discovered, how the absolute fuck is not the whole country of these monsters out for blood to murder these... these beasts just for the crimes that we already know they commited?

USA what the fuck is wrong with you?! With all of you? From the lowest guy to any general of the army that still has two balls? Or even one for that matter at this point. Are you really that indifferent to these atrocities? 

It's getting really difficult to not hate all of you and wish for your extinction. Your society is made of monsters... Fuck.

I understand the frustration. I try to remind myself that the average person has very little control over the circumstances. Right now they're trying to avoid a civil war.

You should take a look at all the protest videos out there. There's massive amounts of people protesting the government.

I agree it's taken them way too long to even get to mass protest, but I try to remind myself that the system is set up to make it extremely difficult to get to this point.

People are living paycheck to paycheck, so disruptions in pay can be life-changing. What this also shows is that people overall are generally willing to be peaceful (arguably even when they maybe shouldn't be. Maybe to a fault).

Ultimately, they need better process to eliminate and remove internal threats as the Second Amendment really isn't doing it.
