In the crosshairs

[substitute]

I’d like to show this to all those gun nut/militia types who want an assault rifle to protect them from “The Government”.

This is what it looks like when “The Government” comes to get you. Your camouflage hat and tricked-out AK will not help you.

I guess what I was trying to get at is not that I expect context or even that whoever supplied the images should also supply context and follow up. Rather what I mean is that it's highly distressing that such a powerful image should come with no context. It generates a great deal of adrenaline and angst and yet it tells us almost nothing. In a way I think it is a powerful piece of art -- I have to question all kinds of things if I watch it with any serious intent, and it offers no real answers. But the questions are good.
