Theres a few things about the Truman show that fuck with your head. Jim Carrey is a somewhat tall actor, and you think of a Truman character as being a short guy with Napoleon's syndrome. Marlon seems more like a guy that would bring a 40 by and want to listen to reggae music after work (with a bluetooth device in his ear) than a white guy with blond hair who shows up with a 6 pack, if he's not an Italian guy that wants to talk business with you. It's not a bad movie, there are just a few inconsistencies about it.
The Truman Show is different than what you would think it would be. It's not meant to be funny, but it's also not a sad movie either. It's kind of like a part of hell, a slice of hell taken from the rest of hell broke loose.

Something about having one does something to the heads of some officers where they think they are qualified to decide whether somebody they don't even know deserves to live or die.
The officer shot her before he even showed her his badge, not that she would've seen it with her back turned.

Hitler preached about peace, making life better, and all the same things Martin Luther King, John Lennon, or Gandhi preached about. The difference between them was what in they practiced, not in what they preached.
Anybody can talk about peace and making the world better, no matter what their true intentions are. Hitler is an example of someone who could deliver convincing speeches about how and what he wanted to do to make the world better, but it was his intentions he was acting on, not his words.

The girl said she didn't care what anybody thought of her, though she really cared desperately. She was as insecure as anybody else was.

People sometimes use mob rule to get things done they wouldn't otherwise get done (to try and get a title they didn't win a few years ago for example). They would rather try and take a title with mob rule than acknowledge they got beat by a team from a town out in the middle of nowhere.
The point of having more than 2 teams in every sport is for any team from any town that has one (no matter how small the market) has a chance to get to the big game and get a title, just like the rest of the teams. Mob rule fucks it up by favoring the cities with the most people and letting the rest of the country know their teams can't have any titles.

If being a moron hasn't gone wrong for you yet, its too bad for everyone else you haven't got yourself hurt at least once by your own actions.
Lindsay never told people about the times she fucked something up, since she liked to keep hearing them tell her about lucky she was to still be alive. Nobody ever told her anything harsh though, such as most morons wouldn't still be here today if they used your (lack of) judgment or self control. She was allowed by other people to talk her shit about every moron in the world, but the minute anybody did the same to her, they were cold hearted, or mean spirited, or nasty, always the other person was the bad guy.

Trying to force somebody or a group to respect you through threats of stricter measures, more laws/rules, statistics, and other shit like that.
The clown was looking for clown tactics to use his/her bank account to force eople to respect him/her via doubling down on rules and laws.
