Yet there are many examples that show it only takes a terrorist minority to prop a minority rule fascist government. The terrorist minority suppresses daily life's normalcy like shopping, church going, driving, jogging, sleeping, and voting. And women in the public arenas.

We don't negotiate with terrorists. But there's no nipping murderous terrorism in the bud when complicit law enforcement enables its power to spread through friendly (head patting) arrests and "investigations" that amount to nothing. Law enforcement has crossed the justice line.

Me, I'd rather be a wrong pessimist than a wrong optimist.
