Stopping Looters: We Ain't Gonna Take It, Any More

Stopping Looters: We Ain't Gonna Take It, Any More By Ward Clark
"It appears some people aren’t going to put up with brazen looters any more.
The 1976 film Network had one iconic moment, where Howard Beale, played by Peter Finch, started a social phenomenon by declaring during a live broadcast that his viewers should all shout, “I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take this anymore!”
