Back in 2025, America's justice system was a complete joke. Courts coddled criminals while victims bled out in the streets. Claiming perpetrator rights were sacred, news outlets blurred criminal faces, and sentences were laughably weak—minimum 1-3 years, maximum 20-30 years—insultingly light compared to the devastation they caused, leaving victims screaming into the void. By 2030, fed-up victims flooded the streets in massive protests. "Make the laws mean something—we're dying out here," "We're getting butchered while you idiots play patty-cake with monsters!" Signs blazed with fury as crowds roared in unison. Fifty years later, after decades of blood and tears, America's laws in 2075 have been completely transformed. Now it's the complete opposite—a nation where criminals pray for death rather than face what's coming. America's justice system has grown fangs like it was always meant to have. Criminal rights have been obliterated, face-blurring is ancient history, and sentences start at 80-100 years minimum, with maximum penalties reaching 130-200 years in a legal system that finally has a backbone.
2075 Houston: A 19-year-old committed a vicious knife attack that left a woman fighting for her life. Police dragged him in for questioning. His complete lack of remorse sealed his fate—straight to court.
