A quick definition of Mayhem:

Term: Mayhem

Definition: Mayhem is a serious crime that involves intentionally hurting someone in a way that disables or disfigures them. This used to be a crime that was punished by law, but in some places, it is no longer considered a crime. In some places, it is still a crime if the injury is permanent and causes disfigurement.

A more thorough explanation:

Mayhem is a serious crime that was recognized in common law. It involves intentionally causing harm to someone by dismembering them or disabling a part of their body that is useful for fighting. In some states, it also includes causing permanent disfigurement.

  • Cutting off someone's arm or leg
  • Blinding someone by damaging their eyes
  • Breaking someone's jaw so they can't fight back

These examples illustrate how mayhem involves causing serious and permanent harm to someone's body. It is not just about hurting someone in a fight, but about disabling them in a way that affects their ability to defend themselves in the future.

perhaps im biased bc i saw him live when he performed cmiygl for the first time
i think it is a controverisal take and i usually do too, i also think im giving an opinion too early cuz i habvent finished it at all
