We should all be outraged .. she is hardly a “dissident” worthy of capture … we are now standing in the brink of authoritarian rule, no different than any other third world country.

Yes Mr. Wood, "we are coming for you" should be interpreted literally. In 1967 when I was a young social worker in Detroit, Lyndon Baines Johnson sent the 82nd Air-born Division of the U.S. Army into my home town.
