    The “castle doctrine” and everyone who’s misunderstanding it is reminding me a LOT of a “localized purge” - been watching the first 2-3 films lately and season 1 (surprisingly good) and it’s chilling to see the real state of the US these days. Used to be my favourite travel destination in the 90s, then still a great place to go for business trips in the 2000s - but never again will I set foot on that unholy land where every insane person can get a gun and murder you on the spot and will likely get away with it.

      Never mind that the 90s was a peak for violent crime mainly due to the war on drugs, and it’s safer now than it was then…
