Why should the majority be punished for the sins of the minority, a
minority that by its action creates the illusion of being a majority?

In the long run the assorted, misguided, and ill-informed will commit
their very own self-destruction as they have time and time again in the
past.

It is their nature and design to commit harum scarum hara-kari in the most
noisy and public manner, and then complain loudly about the injustice of
it all, whilst simultaneously decrying their innocence.

Logic and reason have nothing whatsoever to do with their individual and
collective acts. And at times it is quite difficult to discern the
separation between the individual and collective personage(s) involved.
