2. "Skyrocketing"

Nothing like a little hyperbole to grab the eye.

The "saving grace" is that no one has actually been attacked/injured. Vandalism and verbal abuse. Yes, that lady in SF threw coffee on a guy. But the backlash from the San Bernadino attack has been surprisingly mild, considering the vast seas of the angry, ignorant and armed that exist in this misbegotten land.

What is a "Zoning" Incident?
