Have you ever jaywalked? Should you have been put to death for it?

Jaywalking has a fine. Illegal immigration has deportation.

Right, it would be bad if they put fuckin buzzsaws in the non crosswalk parts of roads to deter jaywalking. It would be monstrous. You however, see that and go, "those jaywalkers get what they DESERVE" because there is something broken in you that you've filled up with contrarianism and petulant nationalism.

They are not saws. It's the same as barbed wire on a fence. It's there to make it more difficult to climb through the thin patr between bouys.
