I'd like to clarify that the motive behind my 'If I Had a Hammer' thread above was not an oblique attack on the deputies and their supporters, it was to raise awareness of the possibility that *we all, right now* may be the unwitting participants of a virtual/online version of the Stanford Prison/Milgram experiments. If so, what I *was* obliquely referring to was that it might be high time to blow the whistle and end the experiment? It's patently clear that people are now getting hurt and emotionally traumatized by the experience (many who were vulnerable and emotionally frail to begin with I might add), and I think it's time to end it.

Of course it would not be ethical.
