If they start shooting anyone who lights a fire, anyone who feeds the fire, and anyone who selfies next to a fire, I suspect there would, soon, cease to be fires.
If they start shooting looters, I suspect that looting would cease to be much of a problem.
If they start shooting 'protesters' throwing projectiles, projectiles would cease to fly.
If they don't start to get this under control, we will have a civil war
Protest all you want, people, but this isn't protesting, by George...
