Due to several separate, but inter-related factors, I believe US society has reached an inflection point between order and chaos. Over the past decade, we have allowed several signals to be sent to all corners of the population, that the law is no longer enforced; or only weakly and arbitrarily enforced. Since around 2010, countless instances of police brutality (recorded on video so the misconduct is clear) reaching its zenith with George Floyd with protests AND riots and very little punishment. Then the Trump Administration in 2016 with his complete disdain for virtually any law, and meaningless "punishment" like impeachment. Then of course Jan. 6th, which tbh the minions HAVE gotten severe punishment, but the leaders little to none. Then, imho the most recent one that lit the tinderbox: California with the de-criminalization wave of policy and DA discretion that basically signals that stealing is now legal. If you notice, many of these "jump out the car" and steal events all over the country, the perps DISPLAY NO WEAPON. They simply grab what they want, right out of victims' hands in many cases, and walk away. There is NO FEAR of being caught, because we've taught the country that whether you rob a store, or break into the US Capitol, what you are doing is not a crime.
