The Art of Pacifism; Monday, Second Period [02/24].

[sake_shinigami]

"Ahhhh ♥," Shunsui, as always, had a happy little smile for his students as they came into class, found their spot in the discussion circle, and could take up their cups of cocoa, "good morning, my little ducklings ♥. I hope you are all ready for another venture into the Art of Pacifism ♥! Now, my notes suggested a unit on self-defence at this point in the course, but, well, that's a topic that covers a series of classes, and with the break coming up next week, I thought it best to save those for when we get back ♥. So, instead, you'll have to forgive me at least one more rambling exploration into another sort of pacifism, and that would be the art of anarcho-pacifism ♥."

"So much to discuss ♥! We'd best get started ♥!"

Criminal Justice- Monday- 1st period

[throughaphase]

"Morning, everybody," Kitty greeted the class. "Hopefully everyone got last week's take home tests in. Because seriously, it was super easy, and you didn't have to come to class. Though it did tell me that maybe I should be doing more metaphors in this class. Anyway.

"We're back to scenarios today, back to a real world sense of Justice. I'm bringing you a story from a small town in Colorado, where there are hundreds of obituary pages for a school age boy. These are not coincidences, and it's not a common name in the town: it's the same kid dying over and over. Sometimes it's murder. Sometimes it's accidental manslaughter. Sometimes it's a freak accident, which stops being a freak thing when it happens that often. As far as we can tell, he's really truly dead each tine, only to be alive and well the next day. He doesn't seem to be a mutant, have superpowers, or be stuck in an endless time loop until he discovers his killer. Some people have killed this person more than once, either by accident or design.

"So the question is, if someone kills this guy more than once, is it considered serial killing? Is it the number of acts that counts towards this distinction, or the number of victims? If you plotted his death, is that still murder if he's alive the next day? How do you prosecute this? Discuss."

Kitty shrugged.
