Criminal Justice Class 6

[OOC: Class Info Post.]

*There are some stray wires and a plastic bag filled with glue, rubber bands, and duct tape on Tick's desk, but there is no droid in the class. Tick presumably has some repairs to make later on.

For now, though, Tick stands at the podium, more normal-seeming than usual. It seems somewhat unsettling.*

Hello, students! I have a couple things to note before getting started this morning.

You may have noticed somebody new to the class observing the discussion on Tuesday. That was Rory Gilmore, my new sidekick. She'll be acting as a TA for this class and will be here to observe and maybe join into the discussion whenever she wants.

What with the recent hullaballoo over weapons, I just wanted to remind everyone of something; anything, if used in such a way, can be a weapon. I know a guy who uses lethal baked goods! Egads, man! You don't know Fear until you've stared down the barrel of a loaded cruller! Remember, Vigilance is your best weapon, and it can never be banned! You should write that one down. It'll be on the test.

Onto today's lesson. I think it would be a good time to talk about one of the Three Mighty Components of Criminal Justice in detail. First off are the Crime Fighters, also known as superheroes Rover the police.

The police and superheroes and big bouncy balls are there for two reasons; to capture those who have infringed upon the law and to scare people away from doing that! If you do something wrong, then you can be sure that one of these magnificent Hawks of Lawfullness will swoop down and capture the Field Mouse of Crime in its strong Beak of Arrest!

I'm sure everyone here has had at least one experience with the police, at the very least in grade school when Officer Friendly dared you to say no to drugs! So, please, share any stories you have about interacting with these Birds of Prey of Justice!

[OOC: I have a story! A couple weeks ago I accidentally hit a parked cop car in a cop parking lot with a cop standing three yards away from my car, and I got away with it!]

Rory thinks, trying not to smile at the metaphor. "Well...as sponsor, you would need to just stop by meetings, at a minimum. For instance, Mr. Jerusalem just pokes his head into the yearbook meetings to make sure we're not giving each other papercuts or anything."

I can do that! *Finds a pen and paper to write down "Papercuts = BAD!!! Be gone, foul wood by-products!"*
