But Amon's goal and plan isn't to just take away bending from criminals and bad guys, he wants to take bending away from everyone even those like Mako and Bolin who have suffered at the hands of benders. The reason he started with the gangs is a strategic one to wheel in people who may not be totally on board with stripping every bender of their bending right off the bat. It's smart. It gives them the appearance of having the moral high ground but the question is do they really have that high ground? And does taking away everyone's bending necessarily fix the problems and imbalance that exist in Republic City, or could it possibly make things worse?

But I think this is what the show is going to deal with and what Korra is going to have to figure out.
