    I value a slice of cheese and a Ritz cracker more than a burglar’s life.

    In fact, if I was offered the death of every burglar in exchange for getting punched in the face once, I would take the face punch and millions of dead burglars.

    jesse-wtf

    what bizarre genie fantasy is this person living in

    “yes, you will get three wishes, but you’ll also get two black eyes and a bloody nose.” ???

    Yeah if there was a magic button that once pressed, would eliminate all burglars from existence my regret is that I can only press it once.

    ?? you could keep pressing the button, even though it’s pointless, but it sounds like this person is actually wishing to murder the same people multiple times instead of repeatedly pushing a button

    maybe not, maybe somebody just needs to introduce them to stimming toys – “hey buddy, check it out! they make buttons you can keep pressing forever!

      They think there are millions of burglars out there. Like it’s a career demographic.

      The media narrative on crime is so lazy, but it’s persistent.

      smuglord: “Yeah, I think that even a dust bunny under my couch is worth protecting over a dirty rule-breaker!”

      gigachad-hd: “Even if that rule-breaker did a HATE crime?”

      maddened: “Any rule but that! Forgive and forget, is that so hard?”

      4chan/reddit regularly prove the old joker quote right.

      marx-joker: "You know what I’ve noticed? Nobody panics when things go “according to plan.” Even if the plan is horrifying! If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, a gang banger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics, because it’s all “part of the plan”. But when I say that one little old mayor will die, well then everyone loses their minds. Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I’m an agent of chaos. Oh, and you know the thing about chaos? It’s fair!”

      I’m very surprised that I erased myself from existence. Totally forgot about that time I stole a matchbox car from a friend during a sleepover when we were in first grade.
