To the rest of the common masses of America’s washed and unwashed that violence against the oligarchs is not acceptable.

The message that no new class warfare will not be tolerated. That the only acceptable class warfare that is tolerated is the Rich using policies that eliminate the poor/middle-class.

But then again - go ahead, make him a martyr - and give a name to the policies of the Rich over the rest of us.
