A vaguely funny but also rather worrying story to support this idea- in the wake of a huge media campaign surrounding paedophilia, the home of a paedicatrian was attacked by people who didn't understand the difference. Moral-when the tabloids whip people up into a frenzy, it can lead to all kinds of bizarre and largely unjustified examples panic behaviour, like the "people sitting on the roofs of their houses drinking and taking potshots" image from the song's first verse. We should think more carefully about who the enemy is and why we see them that way before we start making the heads roll.
