You're talking about an entire political group by this point that doesn't know how to de-escalate and somehow thinks directing the mob's worst urges externally - fanning the flames - is the same thing.

Fond and unsettling memories of those two scandanavian women that went backpacking in tropical and extravagant Morocco only to get the ear-to-ear treatment on video come to mind. So much for being perfectly safe to travel through, and only evil racists would say otherwise. At least the blades were sharp that time. :/
