Exactly. Announce martial law on the first evening and started shooting people immediately afterwards and the violence would have been over within 48 hours. Then, ship every single person involved back to whatever hole they were escaping from. Let's see a pampered 2nd generation freeloader trying to live in a truly oppressive society for very long...
If they had started shooting then, people like Chris Matthews and his ilk would have screamed bloody murder for the poor "YOUTHS" and whined that the police had initiated violence that could have been avoided by doing exactly what they are doing now which is nothing. It's darned if you do, darned if you don't. MSM, Liberals, Demoncats, and European socialists never have original solutions or plans. They are only good at being contrary to common sense.
