So you wouldn't trust the guberment to handle your brother planning to commit domestic terrorism fairly, but you're all for handing the power to beat the crap out of shoplifters and vandals and building special going away camps?
Do you trust the guberment or not? make up yer mind.
Or do ye just not like poor people?
I am not an anarchist and I want to reduce some laws. Illegal immigrants are adults and most know they are violating a US law when they illegally enter and often illegally work. They need to be held responsible for their actions just like a thief would be. By brother would be a criminal. If the govt. catches him, he should be punished. It is not my job to help the govt. catch him unless I choose to make it my job.
Caning properly is not the same as beating the daylights out of them. I am not advocating police using batons to beat prisoners' heads in or sodomizing prisoners (as NYC police did before).

I am just pointing out, if Biden supporters can riot, than you should not complain when Trump supporters stormed the Capitol, and even try to remove the tyrannical government.

Singapore is orderly and functional in an almost surreal and uncanny way, but at the cost of expression, many personal liberties, and a feeling of spontaneity and life among the populace. I've heard some horror stories.

We are seeing that in live display here.

Prison rape happens a lot. I would much rather be caned than raped. To me, being raped is much crueler than being caned.

Sure, my bedroom's on the first floor but surely the four foot fall will have to hurt a little bit.

If you think minimum wage should be $15, why not raise it to $20 or $25 an hour instead? It sounds nice raising the minimum wage until it just makes people with salaries of $40,000 a year the new underclass.
Better to create a national health care system instead of raising the minimum wage which better protects poor people from inflation.

I would not call this a fascist coup though. But hey let us compromise: let us balkanise the US. Liberals, conservstives. Blacks, Jews, whites... Everybody gets their part of the country.
