@Jessica Mason .... No question, that if ALL people in society, be them elected to enforce laws or simply enforce the recognized rules of a given society, did the "right thing".... but they do not. The problem in 100% of cases, comes down to the nature of human beings and there is LITERALLY zero systems that can eliminate the 3 issues I mentioned in my previous comment just above yours. So long as we humans are charged with making decisions, we cannot eliminate those that would abuse the privilege in which they were assigned. We can have any number of oversight committees or checks and balances, but for EVERY one of them.... human error, human ignorance and human malice WILL enter into the equation.
.
It all starts with a society that has legally, morally and tacitly agreed to a certain conduct of behavior and interaction. The moment just one citizen breaks those rules, regardless of how egregiously, those in the society must pass some judgement, punishment or correction to it. The first thing society gave up on was shaming. When society decided that "shame" was no less cruel then bullying, we began our decent off the rails of a polite functioning society. There have always been those who go WELL beyond things that simple shame would address, so we need to take the next step. Well, one in ALL cases, will lead some to take that next level of anti-social behavior. We can trace back probably 98% of serious anti-social behavior, gang killings in this case, to the failure of enforcing simple shame WAY back when it would have done some good.
.
Obviously, there are those who are just born bad and no amount of shame would have stopped them from the destructive path they were on. Hell, we can look back to the earliest days of Hitler himself, and see how events and how others handled them, influenced what we saw he eventually became. Systems will ALWAYS be abused and there is no way to eliminate it. All we can do, is enforce those things that have time tested as proven to lead to the most cohesive society of the past.
.
Society has failed itself and when this happens... chaos is the only possible result 😿
