      You're absolutely correct. It's too bad that I can't run for a "Global Crime Commissioner" position. My policies would be simple:
      1. Oh, so you've committed a CRIME, eh? A heinous one no less. Okay. Okey-dokey, tough guy...
      2. We have the evidence on video or other overwhelmingly obvious accounts and data concerning the crime.
      3. Into the INCINERATOR you go. Yes, that's right. No questions, no plea bargaining, no lawyers, no wealthy connections or corrupt cronies, and no bonding out... NOTHING.
      The end, 'n that's it. It's 2024, not 1224. Humanity no longer has room nor patience for criminal boolsheet, theft, racketeering, grape, ahhsault, embezzlement, and so forth. Sure, sure... be a crim crim if ya wish! But all it takes is *ONE* misstep, suckah. 💪😎✌️ One trip up, and you're ROAD NACHOS. 😡 No excuses, no exceptions, and zero apologies.
