Stir-crazy
Meanwhile, everywhere except Sweden, the world is ruled by holocaustal psychopaths making total war against their own people, which will not stop until all the people are dead. Insanity is starting to spread, and there's no natural immunity against a knife or gun.
Last four items at Spokane News:
Monroe and Summit, SPD with a reported self inflicted stab wound and a tourniquet has been used by officers. -CS
600 West 1st, commercial burglary reported at the bank. Male kicked in a window and entered the bank. #Update male used a fire extinguisher in a room and has been taken into custody -CS
5000 North Lacey, reported male walking down the alley shooting a gun. #Update officers have detained a male that was armed with a gun -CS
4200 South Scott, reported arguement with an adult at the location yelling about everyone being "infected with the virus" -CS
Admittedly it's not binary.... some of this stuff happens all the time .... but it's getting more common and crazier.
STIR-CRAZY is a real word describing a real phenomenon. In a real prison the guards can keep this shit under control. In a city where everyone EXCEPT the criminals is under house arrest, it's a lot harder to control.

Language footnote: Modern sources miss the origin of stir, considering it to be a nickname for Newgate Prison. The nickname and the phrase have the same source, given correctly by the 1874 slang dictionary. Stir, a prison, a lock-up; Anglo-Saxon STYR, correction or punishment.
An 1882 Anglo-Saxon dictionary clarifies further. Styrian generally meant move, as stir still does. But in medieval times styrian was specialized for violent or tumultuous or riotous motion. On the fucking dot. We retain the original specialty in phrases like stirring up trouble.
