    This will also trigger a break down in law … it’s basically capital punishment … break the law and you’re out.

    So to many people who see the writing on the wall … if you’re going to be punished severely, why not do as much as possible while you can before you’re ejected … or ride the lawbreaking for as long as you can until you get caught because you’re screwed anyway

    America is going down in flames

        I was thinking of those poor young men and women who are already at the bottom of society and have no chance. I’m Indigenous Canadian so I know what it feels like to be at the bottom of the pile and I’ve lived with and know many young men and women who faced a life of prosecution. At one point you lose hope and give up and realize that no matter what you do, you’re going to get punished. Most people have a survival instinct that kicks in and says hang on and keep hoping for something. But I’ve also seen people lose hope and then just go out in a blaze of glory and kill and destroy as much as they can on their way out.

        This is why capital punishment of any kind doesn’t work … once you take away people’s hope, then they become reckless and give up on following any social norms or laws.

          Capital punishment can’t work because once you know you have a death sentence on you, what else can they do to you? Kill you twice?
