Shacks burning in Ceuta, explained as what happens when 'patience has a limit.'

Patience has a limit is what people say to explain an outburst they think was deserved. Said of a fire the account had just called deliberate, on migrant shacks, it tells the reader that the burning was the natural end of a provocation, and that the provocation was the migrants being there. The violence is made reasonable, and the people it was done to are made the reason for it.

There is another way to read the line. Patience has a limit can be a warning that something like this was coming without advocating it, a forecast of anger and where it leads. We read it as justification, with some room for doubt, because the post has no word for the people burned out, names no one whose patience ran out, and follows within minutes a post calling the fire a message. First the fire is a message, then it is a limit reached, and between the two posts the account has both approved of what it took to be arson and excused it. A fair-minded reader should take the second line as justification of an attack on a group's homes, since the only explanation it offers for the fire is that someone had had enough.
