He told us it was coming and some of us recognized the threat. Has that line been crossed yet? When is enough enough?
No. If you start blasting away at some misguided soul who comes to your door, you will achieve exactly the opposite outcome from the one you seek.

It is very tempting to shrug off all of this as nonsense that won't work in America, and that to compare this with Hitler youth or soviet komsomol (communist union of youth) is a gross overkill. Hopefully so. But what history taught us is that it does not take too long to convert a nation of great achievements in science, literature, music, medicine, industry, etc, etc into a nation of "I just followed the orders" killers. I am talking about slide of Germany into a Nazism nightmare. Or take another nation, where a son ratting on his parents (who saved some of their food and seeds from expropriation) was proclaimed a national hero (Pavlik Morozov in the USSR). Do I think we are on the way? - NO, not by far. But we should remember that nobody is immune.
When it's too late.
