They feel empowered, whether to commit mayhem as a form of political protest or simply to commit the usual crimes of assault, robbery, shoplifting. Civil authorities in Seattle, L.A., Portland, et al., have demonstrated they'll do nothing to stop such behavior.
I found interesting that in a city near me, things didn't go quite so well recently for a member of the entitled class. He was driving aggressively and erratically down a city street when a person of paler skin tone, a local business owner (biracial, incidentally), gestured at him, i.e., "Hey, cut it out!." The driver got out of his car and proceeded to assault the businessman, who happened to be carrying a concealed weapon lawfully. As the driver was on top of the other man, trying to pummel him, the man used his weapon to deliver three rounds into the person of the formerly entitled aggressor, fatally dispatching him to the great beyond.
Authorities investigated thoroughly, and despite much ballyhooing (and use of the race card) by the dead man's family, determined it was entirely justifiable as self-defense, and the grand jury agreed. I suspect a different result would have been found in a leftist-run city.
