Sure it does. Say it like this:

First they came for the child molesters... Then the murderers... Then the drug dealers... ... Then the drug abusers... Then the 'soft on crime' dissidents... Then the 'rule of law' activists...

We have laws that protect the rights of child molesters and terrorists to have fair trials because those laws protect us as well.

I suppose, but if "come after" means "try in a court of law and assign a reasonable punishment in accordance with the crime committed" then I guess I'm OK with them "coming after" almost anyone.
