Random thoughts just popped in my head and I just remembered that all the water in a given city is all centralized. Just add poison and boom, eradicated an entire city who are full of dissidents/opposition as punishment for voting the “wrong” way, or for a protest, or if the population is filled with “filthy undesirable [Insert Racial Group Here]”, or something like that.

Kinda unsettling to see that we are all just attached to “the grid” 😖

    I mean… why do that?

    If the government want to kill people in a country where they can get away with it they’ll just send armed men to shoot them.

    Poisoning water supply is something the joker would do in a comic book, but on reality it won’t make a lot of sense for any big city. Going there and shooting people is probably much more effective, less expensive and let you with a not-poisoned city to settle with your own people.

      If you want to kill a whole lot of people, your police will suffer and eventually quit if you just have the execute people en mass. This happened to the Nazis and it’s the prime reason the gas chambers were constructed.

      The police need to feel like they are doing the right thing.

      Republicans are downright nonsensical and suicidal in their shittiness, for whatever weird reason. Obviously, if they thought it through, they wouldn’t do that…or vote for trump or support anything he’s doing.

      The real question is how to get them to actually notice that they don’t get what they want when they do awful shit. They tend to just argue and whinge and turn red-faced and whiny instead. Then: more horrible shit.
