> In all seriousness, this kind of stuff happens every day: bad guys getting away because the law does not have the ability to do anything. How then is one suppose to trust the law, when there is virtually zero chance of seeing justice?
Guess why trust in democracy itself is eroding everywhere and why even executing a health insurance CEO on broad daylight is not just widely approved but widely beloved.
The rich can get away with anything (Trump's claim of "I could shoot someone on 5th ave and get away" is pretty realistic, to say nothing about the Epstein crap), but if you are poor or, even worse, an immigrant - pray to God to help you because not just will no one else help you, but in the worst case you might end up getting fucked over for seeking help.

An Axios poll showed 17% found the murder "acceptable" or "somewhat acceptable." Curious where you are seeing such wildly different numbers?

That poll is across the whole population. Among the younger generations, particularly the "terminally online"? A whole different story.
Younger, terminally online people are largely degenerates. You’re just being sensationalist.
I mean, 17% as a whole. But when you have the younger generations going as high as 40% saying that murder was acceptable (and note the question phrasing here is about as negatively charged as it can get) you surely have to see the disconnect here.
