Saturday

one of the chief aspects of the legal system is that punishment must be severe and have an element of randomness. This increases fear of authorities and increases chaos.
It's probably impossible to truly say why this particular raid occurred. All that we can say is that it is due to the current authoritarian regime.
It's like climate change. It can be impossible to say that the destruction of a particular tornado is due to climate change, but it can be said that the storm front which produced the tornado wouldn't have occurred without climate change.
