I don't know why. The one that was speaking at the demonstration said something about how we were supposed to save them all.

["Do you honestly think that this is going to save us? That these people are going to save us? Look at them!

These people aren't even capable of saving themselves!"]

They didn't like that idea, although it was the first time I had ever learned of it. [And so the solution to that problem was apparently an attempted execution.]
