S14E9: A Woman's Right to Chop
After being told the very-old dog Poppins may die in delivery, characters repeatedly urge that the puppies be "killed" (Frank: "Well, you got to k*ll those babies, then") and instruct a salon/clinic contact to "terminate the puppies' embryos" or "murder them". They place calls and make requests to have the puppies killed rather than allow the dog to give birth.

Characters discuss and attempt abusive interventions on Poppins (blasting an air horn into the dog's ear, proposing to feed the dog coffee) as a means to "jump-start" or otherwise treat the animal, conduct which is dangerous and intentionally harmful (Mac blows an air horn into the dog; feeding coffee is proposed).

S5E8: Paddy's Pub: Home of the Original Kitten Mittens
The group repeatedly discusses and demonstrably uses a 'shotgun' or 'gun' device to propel liquor (tequila bullets) and to blast people in the mouth/face as part of their merchandising demonstration. Lines like 'Paddy's Shotgun, bro! You get blasted in the mouth!' and 'I made tequila b*ll*ts... I put too much gunpowder in' indicate actual use of a gun-like device; that conduct—brandishing and using a weaponized device to assault people—is criminal.

The gang discusses taking collected trash 'instead of taking it all the way to New Jersey... let's just dump it in a poor neighborhood.' Later, a crowd confronts them shouting, "Don't dump your trash in our neighborhood, you rich prick!" and another character asks, "What the hell were you guys doing dumping down there?" The transcript establishes that the gang transported trash and dumped it in an unauthorized neighborhood rather than disposing of it legally.

While fleeing in the Range Rover, members of the Gang state 'I think I killed a kid' and express that a child may have been struck; they continue to flee.

Incidents (1)
S14E3: Dee Day
The group coordinates a plan to stop a city councilwoman from voting on an ordinance (discussing obtaining keys, breaking into her apartment, setting clocks back, staging accidents).

S14E6: The Janitor Always Mops Twice
The episode depicts a coordinated scheme: bribery of a health official, rounding up/hoarding cherries, using contamination to force disposals, reselling cherries, and using threats — with multiple characters (Frank, The Waitress, Cricket, Mac, Dennis) participating in different roles of the same illegal enterprise.
Incidents (1)
S14E8: Paddy's Has a Jumper
The gang repeatedly concludes that the man on the roof 'should' be allowed (or helped) to die because it would benefit the bar; they discuss actively facilitating his death. Someone tells Cricket to 'sneak up there, give him a little nudge, and ... don't let anyone see you - commit the murder,' and Cricket explicitly volunteers 'Nah, I'll push him.' The group (Dennis, Dee, Charlie, Mac) endorses the idea and discusses plans and methods (e.g., telling Cricket to push), which constitutes solicitation and an agreement to cause the jumper's death.

The core plot of the episode shows the group carrying Charlie's deceased father in a body bag, repeatedly dropping and spilling the contents, discussing chopping up, burning, or melting the body, attempting to slide/transport the body up a mountain in a tent/bag, and later placing the body in the bed of a truck with plans to throw him off a cliff / into the water (and acknowledging leaving the body where children/bystanders are present). These are clear, affirmative acts of handling and attempting to dispose of a corpse outside of lawful procedures and therefore constitute abuse/improper disposal of human remains by the participants listed (they jointly carry out and agree on disposal plans).
Incidents (1)
