Some things bouncing around in my head...

It seems to me that if you take people out of their "norms," disorient and disconnect them, force them to abide by laws that are unjust and inconsistent, at best, then deprive them of any recourse at all - that they will, once they are "freed" from the aforementioned bonds, be suspicious and mistrusting of social constructs and rules in the best case scenarios and outright defiant and seditious at the worst. If the odds are stacked against this group for generations on generations, if they are not allowed the privileges of other groups, if they learn that compliance with a law bears them no reward and that their primary offense is being who they are - why would anyone expect them to suddenly fall in lock-step with the very social devices that repressed them for generations? Then judge them and prosecute them by their adherence to these laws and rules that never applied to them before, never protected them before, never did anything but repress them and control them - kept them down. Why would anyone behave that way?

More to come...
