All things done because of the failure of the justice system, but are any of these proven to have changed their justice system?

Was there a Shin Megami Tensei game prior to V that allowed you to change the order that the protagonist's turn was? I don't remember it being in IV, but it was a while ago.

(edit for clarity)

Vigilante justice largely exists because the system fails constantly.

I would have you prove this.

There have been plenty of times where vigilante justice has at least forced us to re-evaluate and make changes to our justice system.

While I'm not calling this false outright, I would have you provide examples.

Umbreon posted...

As for 'Let the courts decide'... Have you seen how this country treats rape (Especially in a state like Texas)?

RchHomieQuanChi posted...

We could say that this guy would face the consequences otherwise, but we've also seen sexual abuse allegations, particularly in red states like Texas, get thrown out all the time.

Still doesn't make vigilante justice the answer, because it has failed and will continue to fail.

We need to be better, including better than corrupt systems.

RchHomieQuanChi posted...

To be fair, you're putting too much faith into the justice system of Texas of all places.

I feel this is a different argument. Regardless of the quality of the justice system, we still ideally need a system.

They were justified in killing him.

Why?

Fony posted...

You're on CE. He could get caught on video and have it streamed to the web, they'll still defend his actions or suggest ANY consequence is too harsh.

This is an appeal to the opposite extreme. Saying that killing the man wasn't justified is not the same as "no consequence" and it's an abject failure of one's judgment to suggest that.

Forget morals and conscience.

Anyone who can justify this tactic will find themselves coming back to it.

RchHomieQuanChi posted...

I don't think vigilante justice should be encouraged, per se, but I do think there should be quite a bit of leniency for these boys given the circumstances.

Don't forget that all you know about this case is that one article.

Of course, this also extends from a failure of our justice system. If people cannot find justice through the law, they're going to take matters into their own hands.

What specific failure of the justice system occurred in this instance?

RchHomieQuanChi posted...

You can't apply the same broad strokes logic to every situation.

I'm applying my logic to this situation.

RchHomieQuanChi posted...

The dude sexually abused their 9 year old sister. While I wouldn't personally go this route, as a big brother myself to a minor sister, I can understand their anger.

Understand their anger all you want.

Murder remains murder.

If the events happened as described, it's murder.

Christian Trevino faces charges of murder, aggravated assault and engaging in organized criminal activity.

Hm.

Not that it's a bad thing.

Yeah pretty much.

I will say that even before FF7R, Midgar was the one place I really distinctly remembered from FF7, not having replayed it since... the year 2000?

Not that I want to get anyone excited but imagine the FPS re-canonizes Kyle Katarn.

Something can have good parts but suck as a whole. There's nothing wrong with his claim.

I mean there's a lot of things wrong with his claim. I just picked one.

you trying to explain why this is not an issue

I didn't say that.

Sir_Gawain posted...

Look how quickly you switched to defending this when it was concerning a minority group that gets less attention (and against whom slurs are still commonly used and acceptable, even on this site)

And I'm not defending it.

What I'm legitimately trying to do here is get on a common page. Is Dinklage against this because it is a fictional story featuring dwarves, or is it because he's expecting it to be a comical representations of dwarves that gets short people stereotyped?

Can you answer that?

If the former, then fine, I don't really think we needed another remake of it anyway and I honestly had no intention of watching it. If the latter, then also fine, although I imagine there could easily be an effort to make them out to not be cartoon characters.

Sir_Gawain posted...

Isn't it interesting how faux-progressives so quickly turn.

Rebel, the only thing you seem to value is feeling superior to others and belittling them. It's why you're on your ninth account in the last year.

If you want to explain to me how I'm wrong, do so. If you think dwarves as a fictional race should be over and done with, then say that.

Just don't be a jerk about it.

You're asking medical practitioners to break their oath.

Don't do that.

LightHawKnight posted...

I thought the seven dwarves were literal mythical dwarves and not just short humans?

Kinda where I was thinking on this.

Also they don't live in a cave. Even in the original fairy tale, they live in a nice cottage.

Yeah I'm slowly going through this. I figure if I take it in chunks I can stave off the despair.

Collapse doesn't happen all at once. It's a slide.

America is in fact already in a state of collapse, and has been for some years.

Seems unlikely

It's the truth.

But I'll get over it.

So, are your friends saying they don't do this? Or are you saying that they don't share this information with you one way or the other?

I looked my gf up and she looked me up. I know of others who have as well. I wouldn't say it's completely uncommon.

Why wouldn't you believe that?

Well you keep making up random BS and using meaningless buzzwords.

This topic is an example of Republicans actively legislating LGBT people out of discussion. It's censorship. It's fascism. It's anti-American.

Now you go.

She sure does.

Going by that logic then so are Democrats.

How so.

Well I have a job, so yes.

Yeah Feline's got it closer.

I'd rather have Team Cherry work on their own stuff, because they're really really really good at that.
