I agree with your premise.

I think two thing are important.

1) The greedy perpetrators understand the potential for a "Reign of Terror"
2) The pacifist revolutionarys, within the confines of democracy, understand the potential for a "Reign of Terror"

For one group, I want them to understand their vulnerability for reprisal. For the other group, I want them to understand the potential for emotion leading to moral corruption.

You are right. The outcome is not inevitable, but there is a path for it to happen.

Not everyone in the country has the intellectual curiosity to understand cause and effect. More than ever, we are a society of instant gratification. Combined with anger, a dangerous combination. The leaders of the movement must focus upon their ranks with as much vigor as they focus upon the perpetrators. We must police ourselves with consensus, educate those that do not understand, and publically admonish those that subvert from within.
