I could, but the risk reward for such an action when we have lows in place prevents me from doing it. I don’t not do things simply because they’re illegal, I break many laws all the time, I don’t do certain things because the punishment isn’t worth the reward of killing your family.

If we have a system of no laws then I would be more inclined to do it as your resources to find me are negligible compared to the states resources.

Now I do agree that many laws disproportionately affect the poor in our society, but I would look for reform of the system rather than abolishing it.

what good does it do to punish you? it's doesn't get my house back

This is a somewhat selfish take, and although I don’t agree with a punitive justice system as I believe reform will lower the victims of crime more than punishing someone, as you should be thinking about the larger society and how me being off the streets means I can’t blow up someone else’s house. Sure it doesn’t get your house or family back, but it is better for society.

I think a society that cages people is bad. it's a bad thing to put people in cages.

I’m going to end the discussion here. I have been countering your arguments with alternatives and adding my own thoughts. Whereas you have been saying nope not down with that, but not contributing to the discussion with what you propose or countering my points.

Have a great day and keep an eye out for me and my RPG. 😉
