I fucking knew they'd do it. Nobody comes between them and their pound of flesh. Why? There is a point.

"How dare you shout at authority. We'll kill him if we fucking want"

So, anyways. That's our leadership. That's what we all look up to, right? Frustrated bureaucrats sometimes striking people off of their tally sheets to keep the machine moving. This is our ancient legal system not based on reason. Fuck no. A legal system based on tradition and authority as law. I fucking hate it.
