Banality of dark ICE

-
Arresting journalists today. Feels like we're only a week or two from a major incident—injuries, arrests, murders?

These are banal people who have never had a thought more sophisticated than "root for the home team" or " it's her fault that I hit her." Terrifying to watch.

KrystalNacht in two weeks? Borders closed in three?
