Criminal Justice Class 24
[OOC: Topic idea from
psycho_barbie. Class Info Link.]
*The Tick is at the podium as normal, but his expression has an unusual twinge of annoyance in it. If this twinge is noticed, it might be a good idea not to mention it. Lockheed is on his normal bookshelf.*
Hello, class! Before we get started, Rory will be posting the grades for the quiz you took a few weeks ago. Sorry it took so long to get it graded, but with one thing after another, things have been crazy.
Today we will be talking about real estate law. It seems that some people in class have had some issues adjusting to the fact that some of the places I pull these examples from have anthropomorphic animals as the common residents instead of humans. Therefore, I want you to ignore the fact that we're talking about a duck and two chipmunks today. Instead, just consider them to be an angry man wearing a sailor suit with no pants opposing two very small men who live in a tree.
The pantsless sailor - a Seaman in the Navy named Donald Duck - came into conflict with the short men - Chip and Dale... err, Rescuerangers - because he discovered that they had been living on his property without paying rent. However, they had been living in a tree in the backyard for some time before Seaman Duck bought the property, even though they legally didn't own their tree home. Seaman Duck generally lost his temper as soon as he realized that he couldn't talk the short men into leaving, so he tried any number of schemes to try to drive Chip and Dale Rescuerangers from their home. These schemes sometimes included forcibly removing the Rescuerangers from their home and sometimes involved the attempted destruction of their tree. He did, of course, always find some rather unlikely way to fail because that's how these things go.
Now imagine Seaman Duck's neighbors called the police about the ruckus. What would be the Just solution to this situation in terms of both the initial disturbance and the housing situation itself? Besides telling Seaman Duck to put on pants. That's a given.
Should the Rescuerangers be evicted? Should Seaman Duck be charged with anything? Also ponder that question based on the idea that the Rescuerangers are actually just intelligent chipmunks. Do Seaman Duck's attempts then fall into acceptable pest control?
Discuss any aspect of this situation you'd like.
This week's extra credit is to bring in a seasonal decoration for the class. It could relate to one of the many holidays around this time of year. It could relate simply to the coming of winter. Just make this room festive! Oh, and nothing that melts.
