I’m trying to change hearts and minds as well as the law. Of course, as it stands now, I COULD just walk into a target’s space, get them alone and kill them. We’re not known for respecting boundaries or the law in my profession. Though if the assassination industry were decriminalised, it could be regulated and taxed! I would quite like to pay tax: I already contribute significantly to the public purse in voluntary donations to my local police officers and to the Conservative Party.
But it’s about real cultural change, too. The problem isn’t really the law, it’s other people’s intolerant attitudes. I COULD just walk into a target’s safe space, but I have to cope with folx challenging my identity and my right to be there. They say “wait, aren’t you the guy I saw fiddling with the security cameras?” and “hey, you don’t work here” and “aaargh he’s got a fucking syringe”. That’s the real issue. We need social change as well!
