Hopefully it actually happens. This whole thing was a disgusting misuse of government power against vulnerable individuals. It's the type of thing you would expect from the Mafia, the fact that it was our govenment is shameful.

The true magic is as always, hiding in plain sight. Those in power going after the most vulnerable is a textbook definition of corruption. Yet it is called anything but corruption. Tangentially , a government letting the mafia go after the vulnerable is just as corrupt too. Looking at you gam(bl)ing, alcohol, fast food, snacks, soft drinks advertisements.
