of being screwed to the wall and completely disregarded by decision makers.

I shudder to think what would happen here. Riot police with batons, guns with rubber bullets, tear gas canisters and pepper spray would be rushed to scene after scene to inflict as much pain as possible in the hope they'd discourage people from doing it twice. If that didn't work, the National Guard would be called out, using real bullets.

People in my part of town do this when there's a drug house that needs to be encouraged to move elsewhere but I have to say the Canadians have a hella better cookware.
