Talk:Death Penalty in Rapture

When ?
Its not really clear when this was enacted.

It could be before Kashmir Incident  (though most likely AFTER the City is Cutoff from the Surface around 1952)

It could be in response to the inability to 'get' Fontaines Smuggling ring ... upping the ante  or there could be after Kashmir when smuggling continued  (maybe Fontaine had preplaced some resources for his 'revolution' or possibly there were others doing smuggling the whole time.

We see the corpses on public display labeled 'smuggler' but thats in 1960 - year after Kashmir  (and the audio diary is heard when jack is there, made when Ryan still alive etc...)

The game writers trying to make a dig at Ryan as being a paranoid to impliment such a thing ? (or like certain countries who have to build a wall to keep their people in ?)   But then Cold War politics and 'ant people' mentalities (remember Ryan BUILD a whole city to get away from them) being real to the people at that time could easily justify it NOT being paranoia.
