They are playing a fools game, though: Sooner or later they will pick on the wrong person or group and they will all end up dead. On the winning side of a dispute maybe, but still dead. I'm not promoting this. It just happens. Some people feel they have little to lose, and will joyfully take the bastards all to hell with them.

It's MUCH safer to not piss anybody off, and they are pissing off everybody they interact with, every day. Actually, I'm amazed nobody has gone bonkers and started shooting them.
