Also, in fact, murderers do tend to "get it out of their system." You're discussing drug addicts (and could talk about rapists), but murder has the lowest recidivism rate across all crime categories, and it is very rare for convicted murderers to commit another homicide. And I, actually like to cite my sources...
"This is common when it comes to statistical analysis of crimes. Crimes that aren’t reported often don’t show up and are underrepresented. Often we see that because victims are afraid to come forward and tell their stories."
I completely agree. Victims of homicide are the worst self-advocates. Cowards.
Or an essay about how A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD doesn’t work, because Tom Hanks isn’t Fred Rogers. You could, like, interview Tom Hanks, and then take Tom Hanks to the grave of Fred Rogers and he’d be like, “see. I’m not Fred Rogers. I’m Tom Hanks.”
Or an essay about how BACK TO THE FUTURE doesn’t work, because, as of the writing of this comment, time travel isn’t possible. You could have a graph describing how, while many movies depicting time travel have been made, no actual time travel has ever occurred.
You should do an essay about how X-MEN wouldn’t work, because people can’t move metal objects with their minds. You could have a pie chart describing how many people in history have moved metal with their minds versus people who haven’t.

Or an essay about how VOLCANO doesn’t work, because there isn’t a volcano under L.A. You could interview an environmental scientist or something.

So, you’re saying the purge is...a bad idea? You, sir, should be President.
