nothing-left-to-lose

Why don't people with money and power realize that when they screw around with the little guy when they don't have to__specially when it's a little guy like me with not a damn thing to lose__ometimes the little guy is just going to get pissed off and stubborn up?

An objection was made that judging what had already been done to me, if we proceeded some of us would most certainly be killed. And several others, each in their own language, countered that the way we were living here, the way we were treated, we might as well be dead already, that things couldn't get worse. Things can always get worse, someone yelled from the back, when you reach hell there is always another hell underneath.
