add to this the POTUS can give pardons, over ruling the legal system, and the us is VERY flawed
I could go outside, shoot dead a specific number of people who have pissed me off, cut the heads off of a few dead-heads, and then go home without the risk of ever doing anything more than serving time in a lock up for a few weeks.
Then I could front court and plead not guilty. After that, I could go home and not have to do anything more than talk to my legal representative working the case pro bono. And if I did have to go to trial, my lawyer will tell the court that it was me that did commit the shooting, but I did it in self-defense.
That legal defense: All people that I killed that day were the people that tried to kill me.
Watch Cop Land or Robocop, for more elucidation.
