I hope they go away embarrassed, and then get mad at the people they gradually realize played them.
People I know in Tampa have armed themselves and prepared for this. People who NEVER would have owned a gun. I do believe the lesson of the Korean Shopkeepers will be repeated before arson and looting.
But I would far prefer this to just fizzle out.
As an added bonus, a big nothing would embarass the media further.
I would prefer a fizzle too, but if there must be blood, let it be the blood of rioting thugs.
