The "bad guys" are fully aware that their game must stay under the mark. What "mark" is that? The mark, or line in the sand, whatever you prefer to call it is the boundary of what the common everyday Jane or Joe will tolerate before accepting the fact nothing is worth the hell they are being put through and decide to do whatever it takes with zero regard to their own self preservation.
