If the crowd of jihadis is milling around and carrying prohibited

Hardly. Quite a few locals are fed up with the jihadis, particularly
al Sadr's mob.


Then they should be turning them in to the authorities,or fleeing the area.


"The authorities" don't happen to be in the neighborhood, although
they're moving that way. It might be that some people are getting fed up
with just standing back and letting the nutcases do whatever they want.

Other factions, such as al Sistani's crowd seem to have lost patience
with al Sadr and his pals, too.

I doubt that in one of those rallies,that ANTI-jihadis are mixed in the
crowd.


Being largely within one neighborhood or other, bombing the crowd seems
more than a little stupid, what with likely damage to persons and
property. A bit more finesse seems called for, don't ya think?

Heck,you can see them all waving their arms,and waving
flags,banners,etc.That's not anti-jihadi behavior.
