Imagine an app like Pokémon VR but instead of virtual pocket monsters it targets members of <outgroup> whose faces are detected by cadre smart phones, then tracked, flash mobbed and dealt with, for the crime of making members of <ingroup> feel unsafe.

Watching leadership supine and carefully uncritical of burning, looting mobs offers little confidence that they will stand in the way of this. After all only <outgroup epithet>s have anything to fear.

Please tell me why this is an unlikely scenario.
