This demonstration did not need paramilitary goons to swoop in and ensure their "safety". A couple of activists were countered with assault riffles, camouflage and a overwhelming sense of paranoia... Police and military are synonymous agents of our totalitarian. kleptocratic government and they, unfortunately, will defend the status-quo to the very end. Freedom has gone out of the window and it has fully extinguished. The police response's to the perceived threats of "low-level" terrorism is escalating the dire situation many Americans find themselves in. How much longer until the pretense of freedom falters? How much longer until BigGov openly declares itself God and absolute ruler? Is a peaceful revolution still possible?
"Be advised that everybody on the property is trespassing." So said a Creek County Sheriff Department officer as he ordered activists off of private property yesterday.
He and his fellow officers looked like they were dressed for combat in a war zone, but in fact they had come to evict a woman from her home in Idaho Springs, Colorado. The following photos depict those officers, dressed in combat fatigues and carrying assault weapons, before and during arrests of activists affiliated with Occupy Denver at yesterday's foreclosure defense.

The homeowner facing eviction was apparently underwater on her mortgage with US Bank. She says she told the bank that all she was asking was for another 30 days in the home before an eviction. She needed an extra month in order to find another place to live, she said.
But US Bank and the Creek County Sheriff's Department had other plans, culminating a show of force that thoroughly alarmed activists who had descended on the property to attempt to prevent the eviction.
