“There's nothing brave or noble about bombing private property and terrorizing local communities,” Evans said. “The self-righteous mob cheering you today to engage in violence on their behalf will make you dry up tomorrow and forget about you. And at the end of the day, you and you will be the only one to be responsible and face the prospect of a long prison sentence.”
