Certain groups of people have a tendency to act in mobs. Look at Wisconsin state fair or the fires in greater London. There is a commonality.
These people have been given things they didn’t work for. Instead of gratitude, you get hatred and bitterness.
Some groups of people are more easily led than others, it seems.
If a man doesn’t work neither should he eat.
This should be enough to make most in Wisconsin go to the streets.
That would be exceedingly short sighted of them. They only win if the public DOES NOT oppose them in a coordinated effort. This is not a fight they would want to precipitate while the general populace is armed, nor where the officers they expect to implement such policies, and their families, live among the general population.
Of course they would have the full assistance of their rumpswabbing media pals to mold public opinion and justify their actions.
What makes you think the media would get a pass when the value of motivating or restraining the actions of the public at large, through their efforts, is universally understood?
Rest assured, the western commentariat will treat ANY group with the same deference they give muslims if they truly believe they will be the target of retaliation. Journalists are NOT known for their physical courage, and for good reason.
