Meanwhile, the bill’s draft version is being circulated towards the Senate Committee pertaining to criminal justice. However, it still wasn’t filed by the House or the Senate. Even then, it’s spreading quite a bit of outrage.

A former prosecutor expressed how the draft was a little too vague. And that meant an increase in the possibility of justifiable deaths, right after some minor infractions. He said that the law dangerously provides private citizens with plenty of power to carry out killings. And that’s because they subjectively determine the real meaning of criminal mischief.

Therefore, with America being a democratic state, it will be interesting how the new law plays out on finalized grounds.
