It was senseless to seek retribution on the guy driving the van. The person who sent him is the oppressor.
Though if it gets too dangerous to be the “face” of oppression, they might have trouble finding folks to fill these roles.
Actually if you do view these cameras ,etc. as oppression it makes perfect sense to go after the operator.Adolf Hitler may have been the oppressor but it was the guy in the Wehrmacht uniform right in front of you that had to be taken out first.
The tyrants of the world seldom risk themselves;the tyrants prefer to place pawns and peons on the front lines.
Agreed. However, those out on the front lines are normally the first targets in such things as they are more "accessible" than their Bosses are.
It's regrettable, even evil in it's own right, but it's going to happen. "Just doing their job" isn't going to be much protection in the days ahead.
No, I am most definitely not condoning such things. On either side.
