15. Our entire government is in failure
Fri Apr 3, 2026, 02:21 AM
Friday

Progression:
1. Hypothetical statement of I could kill so one on Fifth Avenue and no one can stop me
2, I can kill workers in fishing boats outside the Country and no one can stop me
3. I can kill Kill people who are not citizens inside the US and no one can stop me
4. I can kill citizens demonstrating legally in the US and no one can stop me
5. I can kill our military men who can kill people in our name and no one can stop me

Eventually it will be I can kill everyone

The difference between the serial killers in our midst and a serial killer who is the head of a country is a matter of scale.
Our problem as a society is that we have never figured out how to prevent serial killers from killing.
