The people in the country are getting a glimpse of what living in the cities is like.
The irony is that those same people:
1. Fight against 2A & abhor guns,
2. Gripe about feeling unsafe on their beloved nature hikes,
3. Live in denial of the effects of their leftist policies upon the urban poor - overwhelmingly the black population - and hypocritically avoid the danger posed by feral blacks by existing in their liberal urban bubble.
'Wolves' in one respect then becomes a metaphor.
