Demonizing civilians

In order to foster violence against protesters the civilians must first be demonized. This began when the OWS was referred to as a mob. A mob is not a civilian term. It's a demonizing term. It is setting up the stage for violence. What is a response to a mob? Violence. You cannot expect the same dehumanizing treatment from a group of congressional lobbyists. Lobbyists are respected. They are not demonized. They are respected by the public media. Mobs are demonized and dehumanized. Police action. Arrests. And violence will follow as acceptable responses to a mob. A veteran in an army is a revered and respected individual but a veteran in a mob is just a dehumanized demon worthy of state violence.
