It's been several generations since anyone other than our servicemen have had to sacrifice. These bone heads aren't prepared for it and won't adapt to it, is my guess.
A little push back will send them scrambling back to Mommy and Daddy's basement.
Yep, you're right on the "Occupy Wall Street" boneheads, and their ilk.
What concerns me is the rest of the opportunists, at a couple of levels. Level One would be the fools of which we're speaking, that are dumb enough to light the fires.
Level Two would be the looters that will jump in and fan the flames higher, either to see what they can steal, or just because they like to watch their neighborhoods burn. These guys are trouble, but again, easily handled if you're well-prepared (armed). Frankly, you just need to be one step faster than the slowest guy.
Level Three would be the politicians that come in after the fires are out. Who work for "More Social Justice" and "Increases in Security" or somesuch, to "Prevent This From Happening Again". This is where the REAL damage is done, and there's not much we can do about it. In fact, plenty of FReepers, and other conservative types, would cheer them on.
Like I said, it will end badly, IMHO.
