I am equal parts excited and nervous about this situation, I think. A lot of people are learning something about direct action right now, and I am hoping that the thing they are learning is "direct action gets results fast", and not "shoot people when you disagree" or "guns are great".

With some luck, this will be a pivotal moment where people realize that others *are* in fact in the same boat, and it can become a driver for a collective push for change, with (generally less lethal) direct action as an accepted part of that.

But it could also go horribly wrong.
