Strange. Feels like 2025 is more violent than other years and every month gets more so. Almost as if sending unaccountable, poorly trained, paramilitary troops like what you see in the third world will result in a country being like the third world.

I don't think this is even counting state violence. We're still using that definition where if someone has a vest on that says "police" (and even if that is a wild exaggeration of their qualifications), it's not violence, it's just some sparkling free range asphalt hitting and grinding slash gunfire. This is only the freelance stuff.
(Not even to bring up what you call it if you then stuff someone in a box with no climate control and deny them medical care and food and toilets and then all of a sudden they die for no reason.)
No doubt. Im still trying to find out if the murder of a guy by ice near me has resulted in any charges. Far as I can tell no. No due process so judge, jury, executioner is the order of the day for ice. Dredd had more limitations.
