Organize a fake holdup.
You won't be able to do it.
The network of artificial signs will become
inextricably mixed with the real elements.
A policeman will really fire on sight.
Someone will faint & die of a heart attack.
You will immediately find yourself again,
without wishing it,
in the realm of the real,
one of whose functions is precisely to devour
any attempt at simulation,
to reduce everything to the real --
that is, to the established order itself,
well before institutions & justice come into play.
Wrote Baudrillard.
