Is this a take on social issues?? (Spoilers)

So "contestants" break into someone's house in an illegal game and try and hide out for 8 hours. A cops kid is killed by prior contestants and so when another house is broken into the cop kidnaps the contestants to tourture them. Fine. I'm fine with that. However, one of the contestants is sitting there tied up and arguing that they "aren't doing anything wrong" lol. The cop is like "breaking and entering, trespassing, assault". It's just funny. Like really?? You feel like bexause you didn't kill anyone your not doing anything wrong and he should just look the other way and let you go because you ask??? I feel like this is a take on younger society being raised that they are all special and never do anything wrong and are never disciplined.

I don't think you paid enough attention to the scene. The girl is asking the homeowner to call the cops and saying she will accept her legal punishment. The homeowner wants to murder her. She's saying that she didn't do anything to deserve the death penalty, which she did not.
