    So basically I should punish these people who imprison everyone?

    Literally nobody is looking at this and thinking “damn, I guess I shouldn’t stab people.” There is no example. This bit of news will disappear and everyone will forget about it in a few hours while that kid is just gonna be miserable until dead.
