My point is: That is an extreme limit of social justice.
Lefties are wonderful at extolling the virtues of 'social justice'. IT has led to all sorts of minor human rights abuses, such as censorship, etc., however, I have always contended that such actions are just a dreamed-up term for 'mob mentality'.
Things can get worse, with mobs:
When I was a kid I was told about Johan de Witt, the Prime Minister, who happened to be a Huguenot, (and his brother Cornelis), who were partially eaten by a mob in the streets, which is a documented historical event that occurred in The Hague , Netherlands on August 20, 1672.
(That horrifying, ungodly event led to lots of Huguenots fleeing from Flanders, and becoming Voortrekkers in a vast underpopulated continent....)
Of course one should fight back when being shot at.
The point was that: numbers, and intent, count. A group of people can act as one. And yes, people can die in those situations, even without guns.
Mob mentality can work both ways: some see the term as purely negative. However, in this case, it isn't negative, because they were protecting themselves, and others.
"OK.
Social Justice."
...last I heard, Old Dom. is a "minority majority" school...

I think people are mistaking my point here.

I was just extrapolating.

Some things never change. First there was a PM "who happened to be a Huguenot".
Now there are a couple of PMs (CA/UK) that are Huge Nuts.
