This kind of comment isn't uncommon from 16 year olds in my area, or 15, 14, 13, 17, 18, and everywhere-past-that olds too. I've heard 17 year olds calling for a revolution and saying they would fully support one. "The south will rise again," is often said around here completely seriously. And that is why I'm preparing for the worst case scenario with right wing nutters possibly pulling some stupid shit come the election in November.
