You know what I find interesting about these facts? If the prosecutors
and the Courts come down REALLY HEAVY on these folks, it might be a very
significant deterrence to future "adventure" --- people from this class
have a LOT to lose. (Cops being fired, small businesses being boycotted,
....)
the younger more "lumpen" participants have little to lose and those coming
after them might be attracted by the experience of being arrested ---
whereas the petit bourgeois might recoil ("what, me going to jail, NO
WAY!") --- imagine the shock to the entitled Real Estate woman who wanted
to go on her vacation to Mexico!
That's an "on the one hand" GOOD thing about the class structure of the
insurrectionists --- the BAD side is these are people entrenched in local
power structures --- thus they have much more influence!
