that the richer the community, the less likely it is that these deputized brownshirts would enter. But the image of even average white Americans being killed is bound to move a needle. More of the unaware will become aware. Those who are angry will become angrier. I'd be shocked if this didn't impact the upcoming vote of a some white women who voted for trump or legal gun owners who didn't vote at all.

So I guess I'm just focused on the political solution. But I also agree it would take a lot more to get a street uprising.
