12. With age comes some benefits

Wisdom and protection against assault. The trouble is, though, that most of these provocateurs are relatively young. For instance, the guy who attacked the coffee shop with a machete was 19. That's just old enough to be tried as an adult but not nearly old enough to reason like one. I may be cynical when I read about the rise in violence, but I just don't feel like these people have any regard for the law. Or, to put it another way, they believe they will be exculpated because they were breaking the law to support tRump or his ideology.
