A moment of comic relief from Francois Truffaut's movie adaptation of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 came when a mother was walking her son across an overpass, as 'fire trucks' zipped by below, with sirens wailing. The boy tugged at his mother's sleeve and shouted,
"Mummy, look there! Firemen! There’s GOING TO BE a fire!" (IYKYK)
I think we have a similar moment now, except in real-life, as Federal forces pour into otherwise peaceful cities ... "Look Mummy! Federal police forces! There's going to be civil unrest!"
