The groups here today and the groups who were here last week could outline the different jurisdictions where they have seen this in operation. I would not support violence against anyone, but I believe we have a very specific problem in this country. I lay a pound to a penny that 1,000 more assaults have taken place since last week, so there is an urgency with regard to carving this one out and dealing with it specifically, because I do not believe we will get a global solution too quickly.
