What you WANT is for the justice system to be so reliable that people know that if they act badly, there will be bad consequences and so they mitigate their actions.

The full scope of that comment is so fundamental and powerful. That touches on so much that is failing society. It starts in early childhood where parents don’t let children see the consequences of actions. While of course parents can’t allow children to do injury to themselves they can hold firm on rules they have for the child. Today’s philosophy of self esteem building through having no boundaries leads to adults with minimal ability to accept laws or common sense.

Worse! To writing laws to put freedom of Democratic philosophy at such a high value that Republican positions can be exterminated. To write laws to abrogate the fundamental positions of our founding fathers. And they’ve had a similarly brought up Supreme Court to let them get away with it.

Until Trump.

Yup, just give this defining deviancy down effect a few years and a full generation to take hold.

Baltimore, Chitcongo, now Austin...when the itbefree crowd realizes there are no repercussions to committing crimes why would they obey any rule?

I suspect the first flag to be raised will be the cries from the hood of Racism and food deserts because of the constant shoplifting, purse snatching, robberies, assaults that causes stores to either relocate or shut down all together.

Then the feral yutes will go rampaging in the ritzy part of town.
