a white panel van raced towards a squat residential building nearby, stopped, the side panel door opened with a half dozen military personnel wearing dark masks carrying assault rifles and military gear jumped out racing into the building. I watched and waited for a few minutes. They brought out - dragged a fellow out to the van, threw him in (literally threw) and were gone.

Those on the mall shopping didn’t flinch. They went on with their shopping.

Are we headed for that type of behavior where it’s every day?
