Feral implies that these people were once domesticated, or maybe, civilized, and have regressed to “wild living”. This is a big assumption!

Then again it would be unfair to lump them in with animals proper who are only acting on instinct in order to survive. These feral humanoids are making a conscious choice to do what they’re doing. Perhaps we need to invent a new category for them. One that captures their immoral nature and reflects their status as sub-animal.

Here in CA I’m wondering if spending cuts will lead to layoffs of police officers. Indirectly, this would lead to mobs and violence.

Very likely. It's the government's revenge for the people not coughing up more tax money.
They always cut police and fire first.

Feral pigs are descended from domesticated pigs, not to say that they were born domesticated. Same too with these people. They are descended from civilized people, but the cultural rot of socialism has seen them regress to an uncivilized state.

I think feral is an extremely apt term for them.

Refuse is also a product, but refuse better describes how the socialists think concerning their product. These are their castoffs, their acceptable losses, if you will.

Next time there’s a crowd waving signs like “Poverty Breeds Terrorism,” or “Climate Injustice Breeds Terrorism,” I’d love to see somebody with a sign saying “Something Breeds Terrorism.”
