Imagine some crips are killed, you have a hunch bloods did it, so you round up every blood in a ten mile radius and claim they were in on it. That's pretty much how these mass arrests work a lot of the time.

Worst case scenario was probably when that cop got killed in Egypt during the protests and they came up with like 800 names and sentenced them all to death.

Sri Lanka ain't Arab breh.

Neither are most of the countries I was thinking of when I wrote that comment. Cops in the Phillipines are just killing whoever they want whenever they want, Cambodia's strongman isn't any better, and it's become a running joke in Thailand that any major crime automatically results in the arrest of the nearest 2-20 illegal Burmese refugees.

The common theme in 4 of the 5 countries there is that their leaders came to power under the power of a military that had used violence and the threat of violence to secure power.

I'm very aware of that, Breh! My response was aimed at you besmirching Pharaoh Sisi who just won 90% of the vote on his latest constitutional amendment making him leader for life! Today is his day!

Egyptians approve reform allowing Sisi to remain president until 2030
