So.... Not quite sure how to ask this without it seeming something other than just a legitimate question so I'm just gonna ask it: Per Mike's catechism: What constitutes first use of force? At what point is less than peaceful action not considered instigation?... I know this is fly paper for the constantly monitored internet so I'm not really expecting an answer. But it's definitely a question I've had tumbling around my head for a long long long long long time and it's really picked up ever since Lavoy was killed and now this ridiculous crap... Maybe I'm just not privy to knowing, which is fine, but it's a real f-ed up thing to behold.
None of us has a crystal ball, so I expect the unexpected.
Right now I'd say that a line in the sand will be crossed for an individual who will react and others will then decide to support him -- and depending on the outrage and the example set, it will snowball beyond the local and inspire others to involve themselves and innovate in their AOs.
Then again, who knows? It could be an EMP attack or Yellowstone could blow, or...

Will foreign powers then see opportunities...?
Or maybe the frog will never jump from the pot.
