How in the hell is this good? Whether you agree or not this is only inviting potential harm and violence against these people. As if things weren't bad enough with the political climate here. Once again fear is being used against those with a differing opinion.

100% Stochastic terrorism.

For anyone still confused Imagine the mafia boss being recorded saying "it would be a real shame in Vinny had himself an accident" and then that night one of the people who heard him say that broke vinny's neck.

The mafia boss didn't actually tell anyone to do anything. But the people around, knowing that's what he really wants, acted anyway.
