A person or group can be both pathetic and dangerous. School shooters, for example. But if the police refused to respond to a school shooting, it would both be true that\u00a0\u201cthis is a significant physical threat\u201d and\u00a0\u201cthis threat could be immediately solved by the government simply deciding to do so\u201d.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Like, in an insurrection where conservative outlying areas are seeing increasingly large musters of irregulars to defend against X, the central government <b>needs</b> to show credible signs of acting against X or the rural areas will secede and start purging themselves of X, or what they take to be X or X-adjacent.<br/></p>"}
