Someone--I have no idea who--has taken my advice of 8/18/2014, and begun shooting (two so far) the criminal police officers of Ferguson, Missouri--without, alas, as yet killing them.
I would like to remind our bold, incisive Revolutionary Heroines, however, that assassinations are most effective when the assassin is not apprehended by Civil Authority--or indeed known to them. If, for example, our Heroic Original, Marie-Anne, Charlotte de Corday d'Armont, had slit Marat's throat, to silence him, before stabbing him to the heart, she might have gained a few moments to flee back the way she had come...and lived to kill yet another murderous revolutionary tyrant--perhaps Robespierre. And the Terror would have been over almost before it had begun.
