All this will do is stir them up to protest more - doesn't anybody ever see that?

Right.

And if you arrest carjackers it will piss them off and do it more.
And if you arrest bank robbers it will just piss them off and do it more.
And if you arrest murderers it will just piss them off and do it more.
And if you arrest muggers it will just piss them off and do it more.
And if you arrest burglars it will just piss them off and do it more.

For some (genetic?) reason, all these statements make sense to the simple mind...
