We live in a rule by force paradigm, many in the crowd are just waiting their turn to dish out with the violence.
The sovereign is the ultimate teacher.
As long as the masses accept that these people get to kill those people because reasons, we will be ruled over by the worst among us.
'If the Court please, I wish to use the words of Justice Brandeis dissenting in Olmstead to speak for me.
He wrote, "Our Government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher.
For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example."

'Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher.
For good or for ill it teaches the whole people by example.
Crime is contagious.
If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.
To declare that in the administration of the criminal law the end justifies the means - to declare that the Government may commit crimes in order to secure the conviction of a private criminal - would bring terrible retributions.'
McVeigh, Oswald, and Mangione (hereafter MOM) learned at the knee of daddy gummint, all too well, what it means to be a patsy. The gummint cries out in pain as it strikes you, then blames and kills MOM dead so they can't speak the truth.
