If I understand Sailor correctly, the murder and persecution of the people was the result of those who resisted being murdered and persecuted.

So, next time a captive of a sex slavery ring sees a chance to escape, they had best not do it, because those left behind might be punished for it.
Because after all, its so much better to not rise against overwhelming odds and superior forces, because, you know, somebody might get hurt.

Fear of reprisal.... what a sad reason to not do what is right. That is exactly the kind of thought process that despots have instilled in their subjects (because I cant use the word citizen and not twitch) to keep them in line, and to get them to become informants. Fourth Reich anyone?

Sailor, if this is NOT what you are saying I apologize, but it sure looks that way to me.
