    Redditors will have a conniption over this and start frothing at the mouth demanding summary executions for everyone who doesn’t bow down and kiss the cop’s feet after being pulled over an hour later

      And then cry about how America is broken and be like ‘look, how do you even fix this?!’ hahaha

      Yup, America has a homelessness problem, so what’s the solution? I know, pass laws to prevent them staying somewhere safe during the winter so they die; obviously we wouldn’t pass laws to kill them because that would be the kind of thing you’d expect in Vuvuzela, but you can have laws that only just happen to, unintentionally, totally not the intended effect here, kill them indirectly. Can’t execute one guy who’s part of the problem and destroying the country, oh no, just pass zoning laws that just so happen to kill many, many, many people whose only crime is ‘failing’ (being exploited and then tossed away more like). We know these people are criminals, and due to having the wealth to do so are experts at hiding their crimes usually, and when they take bribes it has a major adverse effect on the country, but no, let’s give them a prison sentence, that’ll fix everything.

      But of course like babies when you dangle keys in front of them we still have our treats. Never mind that if we’re from certain ethnic backgrounds we have to teach our kids to be careful around cops, never mind that medical bills can destroy the life of even a moderately successful family, never mind that…oh never mind everything, here’s the Harry Potter remake, look, Volvomart looks like Trump!
