Blood Frenzy

Not so very long ago, there was a civilized and progressive country that used its legal system to punish a financially successful but politically unpopular minority.

It accused this minority of greed. It accused this minority of being a parasite on society. It accused this minority of theft.

Some lawmakers, caught up in the frenzy, called for blood. Some citizens threatened to deliver it.

Germany in the 1930s? Yes, and the United States today.
