Let these hired whatevers wander EMPTY city streets for a while, they will get the message!

The unsafe now is just going to help their narrative for gullible voters.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
..........George Santayana

And for those not familiar with the original reference:

"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."
...........Martin Niemoller
