Herbert is right that it would turn into a free-for-all, where people are targeted because of personal grudges, or because of their perceived ethnicity.
The drumbeat for vigilante justice has already begun on AM radio.
Herbert quoted right wing jock Michael Savage, inciting bigotry on his radio show and throwing more wood on the fire.
Savage is the guy, who claimed in his lawsuit against Council on American-Islamic Relations that he has no animosity toward that particular religion.
What do you call this then?
Savage, as quoted by Herbert:
“When I see a woman walking around with a burqa, I see a Nazi. That’s what I see. How do you like that? A hateful Nazi who would like to cut your throat and kill your children.”
When a woman wears a burqa, said Mr. Savage, “She’s doing it to spit in your face. She’s saying, ‘You white moron, you, I’m going to kill you if I can.’”
And that is coming from a guy, who according to Herbert has the third-most-listened-to talk show in the country.
That's scary.
