I don't really think OP is saying that their crimes aren't crimes, just that they're still citizens that Cait gasses. They're point was that selling drugs and engaging in gang violence isn't really too bad of a crime when a lot of these people are just trying to get by.
It's a system put in place by the people on top (Piltover's leaders) who do nothing to really help Zaun or it's people. That ofc leads to Zaun's people trying to put money on the table in more underhanded ways. Not unlike lower funded places America.
These people shouldn't be GASSED with something that can def kill them (look at season 1 Viktor) because they are low tier criminals.
Its kind of the equivalent of literally dropping Asbestos on a city to clear the area. Sure you'd probably accomplish your goal but that's still a war crime and pretty awful overall.
And the grey being released wasn't a punishment for petty theft. It was used as a way to get Jinx, so by your logic it would still be wrong because your rights weren't taken away for crimes you yourself have committed, they were taken away because you happen to live IN Zaun.

It is WILD that you say “selling drugs and engaging in gang turf war does not make you not a citizen” as if that changes the fact that they’re still CRIMES.
I mean, if your logic is that Zaun is technically part of Piltover and thus falls under Piltover’s jurisdiction… committing a CRIME under their jurisdiction means you can suffer consequences from your actions. No? It doesn’t MATTER if you’re a citizen or not. Being a citizen doesn’t give you free rein to do whatever you want! You have to obey laws!
If I’m a citizen of a city in America, and I do a crime, the police of that city are allowed to take away my rights as a citizen. That’s what being a citizen in a functional society MEANS!
Vi: Why are you smiling?
Jinx: What? Can't I just be happy?

Men writing Jenna Ortega characters is so funny because they write them like:
R: *does something cool*
Jenna's character: kiss me
(Name) : Can you please be serious for five seconds?
Jinx : My record is four, but for you, I'll see what I can do.

it's incredible that when a man realizes that the content isn't aimed at him, he starts whining, basically seeing lebicas/bi happy and interrupting besides his own homophobia hidden in the middle of it all. Bitch!!!lesbians have to take over the world soon I can't take it anymore 🫨🫨
What if, caitlyn had a younger sibling who jinx was high key actually smitten with? Like full on looking up romantic ways to woo reader and seriously flirts with reader whenever she gets the chance?
Nobody really knew how it happened, (reader probably just showed jinx sympathy and care when they didn't know each others identities and has a sleeping beauty moment.) And jinx internalizes and latches on to r because of it.
Obvi it's alternate, where the storyline isn't as fucking angsty-
Vi finds it hilarious (yet a little hypocritical) since ya know, canon. And caitlyn very much disapproves but can't really do much about it. Reader at first is oblivious and just thinks she wants to be good friends but later on is actually the first one to kiss her. I'm rambling let me stop-
Thought this was a necessary measure because we all know that surge of clueless thirsty tiktok fans is gonna happen.
