"It is a serious thought that the lives of good and brave men, the safety of innocent women and children, and immunity of property should be, even for one hour, in a great city, at the mercy of a few long-haried, wild-eyed, bad-smelling, atheistic, reckless foreign wretches who never did an honest hour's work in their lives, but who driven half crazy with years of oppression and mad with the envy of the rich, think to level society and its distinctions with a few bombs. There ought to be some law...to enable society to crush such snakes when they raise their heads before they have come to bite."
