Talk:Salem/@comment-28288412-20160715144524/@comment-25936766-20160717002858

My ideas on what it means:

1))  Salem is so fearsome, you can call her, and by extension her group of vassals including Cinder's, "fear itself". And Ozpin knows they were planning on attracting the Grimm (Which would make the idea of placing 2 mooks to guard the border an even more stupid idea).

2) Salem has made Grimm Zombies/Parasites/Abominations, that violently turn people into humanoid, monstrous Grimm. That in itself would scare a lot of people, and that fear will attract more Grimm as well.
