Violence is the quickest answer. Just like animals, we respond to pain, and the possibility of more pain. For example, we gave up our rights simply on a threat of "more violence is coming!".
Bad news is discomfort, violence is discomfort. Our instincts tell us to do what is needed to prevent or limit it. These facts have been used to pass every single anti-drug, anti-terror, anti-anything law in recent history. Most of us are stupid enough to believe it so long as our lives stay comfortable.
