They're called progressives because their goal is progress to communism. As for being to nice, we have done so far and should stay the course. Not because its right or wrong but because it proves them wrong.

Beyond that, act in self-defense and that includes strategic self-defense. Look if I defend myself from a illegal assault by a LEO (google Bad Elk v United States) his buddies are coming to either arrest me (further assault) or shoot me. So I think its strategically more sound to end the threat by taking out as many as possible, crippling their vehicles and counter-assaulting.

Once I start, I won't stop and if not me its gonna be someone just like me who draws that hard line in the sand.
