With each visit to the #Itaewon/#이태원 memorial, the sense of public anger that I perceived became more palpable. During yesterday's visit, I observed a # of ppl holding signs that criticized the gov't, and numerous messages questioning the state’s culpability were posted too. pic.twitter.com/yyp7qZeIzR
Those protestors apparently want to be serfs, not free men and women.
Because that’s what more government means.

For some things, government might… MIGHT… be able to contribute.
This was an accident primarily based on personal responsibility.
If government wants to help, educate the country on crowd dynamics. Don’t make a typical government solution like “no crowds!”
More government is seldom the answer. It certainly isn’t the answer here.
…though the government is good at watering their hippies.

As CH said before, group Darwin Award winners, I know people that got to the area and immediately Noped out seeing the crowds. As some point everyone has to be responsible for their own decisions and actions.

I feel really sorry for everyone.
But I don’t feel sorry enough to give even more control to the government.
Anybody who has been alive for the last two years and has adult-level pattern recognition skills can probably see:
“The government is here to protect you so we are not letting too many people celebrate in one area.”
…can easily morph into…
“For your own good, business needs to shut down, you need to stay home, you can’t have friends over, you need to breathe less oxygen, and you should get an experimental medical treatment using experimental technology or you can’t go shopping.”
Oh. Wait. They skipped the first step.
Anybody even entertaining the idea that government should be responsible for controlling how people assemble need a solid kick to the nuts to reorganize their pattern recognition skills and jog their memory about the last two years of self-distructive policy based on governmental and socital mental illness.
I have always felt the Korean government truly worked for the Korean people and the betterment of the nation since the early 90s.

The Moon administration destroyed that trust.
