You have the right to remain silent.

Remain invisible, or we will find a reason to blame you for your death.

Anything you say can and will be used against you,

in the court of public opinion. Any mistake you ever made we will trumpet to the world, until we drown out the cries begging for justice.

You have the right to an attorney,

unless we hunt you down first.

If you cannot afford an attorney,

you won’t need one, for we are judge, jury, and executioner.

Do you understand the rights I have just read to you?

Do you understand you have no right to exist?

With these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me?

Don’t speak to us. We have no intention of listening.
