Advanced Criminal Justice (Class 2), Period 2, 01.12.05

[OOC: Tuesday was fun. Please, no 300-comments today. Knock about 100 off that total, please? Otherwise, good work. If you have Homework or EC from Tuesday, you can drop it off below. One note about fiction in this class: You can know that when Tick talks about Looney Tunes or Disney, he is talking about a fictional cartoon. Tick's take on it - a take that isn't wrong - is that these cartoons aren't fictional, they're just historical records from another dimension. Question his view to him and he will look at you funny. Class Info Post.]

The Tick stood behind the podium at the front of the class as usual. On the podium was a small plastic figurine of an anthropomorphic, gray rabbit. Lockheed was perched on his regular bookshelf.

"Hello, class! For the next week, we will be focusing on one individual and his relationship with that cute girl next door that we call Justice. This individual's name? Mr. Bugs Bunny." Tick held up the figurine. There may have been a Six Flags logo at the base. "Those of you who had class with me last semester may recognize this rascally little rabbit. He was one of the offenders in the Hunting Season Lecture. He is a busy guy with a lot of enemies, so we have plenty of reasons to talk about him."

"Today we will focus on his relationship with a Mr. Yosemite Sam. While we have previously discussed Mr. Bunny's reckless and devious - if not precisely criminal - behavior, it is, up to a certain point, difficult to blame him for instigating anything with this varmint. Mr. Sam is, quite frankly, a vile human being, obsessed with his own personal gain and is willing to attempt to murder innocents in this pursuit. I haven't seen any accounts of him successfully murdering - or even successfully shooting - anyone, but he always leads with his guns whenever someone poses a threat. Mr. Bunny often poses a threat, usually due to sheer coincidence."

"As we've seen time and again, there are repeated murder attempts that Mr. Bunny refuses to report to the police. Perhaps he likes to get out of trouble on his own. Perhaps he finds being shot at exciting. Perhaps he actually wants to die, but he hasn't found someone capable of actually shooting him. I can't speak for Mr. Bunny. But I can say that Mr. Sam has it in for him, coming back time and again even after falls that should have killed him! All to threaten Mr. Bunny some more."

"My question to you, class, is if you came across a clash between Mr. Bunny and Mr. Sam, how would you deal with the situation? Some questions you should think about but not necessarily answer before you give your response folow: Do you let them sort it out themselves? Arrest one? Send one or both to a counsellor of some sort? And when would you interfere? Would you take the chance and get inbetween them? Or would you take another chance and count on Mr. Bunny outsmarting Mr. Sam once again, hoping that both survive and you can confront each individual while they are momentarily alone?"

"Discuss, class!"

"But is it an arrogant belief when he keeps winning?" Angel asked.

"When it's always by luck? Yes. If he's the favorite of destiny, who knows when *that's* going to change." Parker frowned. "Okay, so, he's also smarter than Mr. Sam. But still. He gets lucky more often than anything."

"I don't think it's luck. I think it's skill. If anybody's got the deathwish it's Sam. He needs to let that vendetta go and move on to safer targets. Like pillows."

"Well, that's true. For as often as he shoots himself in the foot, you'd think he'd practice more at the gun range." Parker made a face. "But Mr. Bunny is kidding himself. KIDDING! And what's with the crossdressing and trying to seduce Sam? That's just disturbing in a stalker-stalkee relationship."

"Maybe the bunny's issues with his own sexuality make it hard for him to deal with men on a less than violent level?" Angel suggested. "I mean have you seen the latest movies? He's trying so hard to prove he's into that girl rabbit, but you know he'd rather spend more time fighting with Daffy."

Part of Parker can't believe they're having this conversation. The other part is enjoying it too much to care, despite the hangover from Hell.

"Completely! Although you have to wonder if that's a director's choice, slanting it that way. Anyway. Counseling for Mr. Bunny, maybe some suggestions of what else he could do with all that energy. Base-jumping. Sky-diving. He'd be a natural for the X-Games. Maybe he'd be less inclined to these elaborate ruses if he was getting recognition. But the taunting has got to stop. It's just plain *rude* on top of everything else."
