Now shadowrunners being the criminals/lawless people they are, some might let them get away with whatever they want.
But does anyone have an idea to handle such a thing as Bad Karma?

eg.
gun down 6 people in a mall, because they looked at ya funny?
kill 3 squatters because they got too close to your car?

I could go hard on hard and never let them get away with it, ie LSSS or friends of the deceased etc.
But does anyone have an idea to use as a deterrent to keep the players from devolving into a maelstrom of blood and fire?
