Interesting quote - a warning?

One of the points I like to make is that as the economy slows/declines/whatever, and the gap between the 'haves' and 'havenots' increases, we will see more violence and theft/piracy.
Here is a quote that sums it up.
""If they step on the small man and he don't have nothing he's going to go take from another man's hand," Lynch said."
