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

    You don't even have to break the law.

    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.
