When lawyers attack

So, a doctor posts a video and makes fun of lawyers.
The answer of lawyers is
a) laughter. NO
b) sue the doctor. NO
c) form a mob and destroy the hospital, attacking doctors, nurses and patients alike. YES! I'M SURE THIS IS A GREAT IDEA!

By the way, it looks like this isn't the first time:
...violent acts by lawyers for several years now," commented one television anchor... They have assaulted citizens, attacked policemen, raised their hands on judges and vandalised courts.

Ok, it's Pakistan, not the most peaceful country around. Still, the idea of a mob of lawyers assaulting a hospital to destroy it strikes me as... dunno... let's go with "bit outlandish", aye?
What's so wrong with Pakistan? Some in the article blame the contrast between high militarisation which in turn fosters anarchy. Looks to me like a country that's about to fail, which, in a nuclear power next to another, rival nuclear power - and with no shortage of violent fundies - is, uhm, erm, worrying.

When anybody preaches disunity, tries to pit one of us against each other through class warfare, race hatred, or religious intolerance, you know that person seeks to rob us of our freedom and destroy our very lives.

Lawyers will never be on the level of prestige as bankers so they take out their frustrations on doctors.

But seriously, my thought when I saw the video was just "what the actual fuck makes you people think that any of this is a good idea?"

White-collared conservatives flashing down the street
Pointing their plastic finger at me
They're hoping soon, my kind will drop and die
But I'm going to wave my freak flag high
Wave on, wave on

This is 100% a sign of a failing government. The lawyers were protesting because they had no faith in the government to enforce justice without significant pressure and when they were slighted they did not believe the government provided avenues for redress. Instead of seeking justice they sought mob violence and the fact it's happening among professionals is pretty worrying.

We both made the same thread with the same title... must work on my creativity. I've asked for a merge.
