If by lose assistance you mean they lose it because they are shot on-site and no longer require it i am all in.
They should honestly lose assistance and lose at least one hand.
Let's start with a part of a finger. As incentive to work. Kind of hard to work without a hand. Still can just fine with one tip of a finger removed.
You endorse the yakuza method, I see!
Efficiency matters. Depending on the crime an entire hand makes sense. That also makes them half as useful. A bit of a finger? They can still do basically anything needed and sends a message.
That wouldn't actually work in Blue cities. The rioters and looters aren't arrested.
Defund the blue/progressive cities unless they follow federal law.
If they think they can stand on their own, let them try. Also, create a "sanctuary city tax" at 500% for those cities/states to use for deporting the criminal illegal aliens.
I think we are at peak net loss. Notice the LA fires went around the 'toe? TPTB cannot have 100,000 displaced nigs, beaners, and their women and children displaced. They have to be pacified, or we are going to have real problems in the cities.
Government assistance Needs to be abolished
