Advanced Criminal Justice, Class 14, Period 1, 02.23.06

[ooc: Hi! I have nothing to say, really. But there's always an OOC note. Oh! Wait, yes I do. I would totally have your grades for your essays up today, but um, still missing them from a couple people. If you don't get them in by this weekend? I'm not grading them, and you're going down a grade. Letting you know. Anyway. Class Info Post]

Rory sat on Tick's desk, looking very, very grumpy. All her limbs were still attached, though, and she was nursing a large cup of coffee.

"So. Hi. Professor Tick unfortunately couldn't be here today, so I'll be leading the discussion today."


"Last class, we talked about how Justice is implemented in Fandom. Do you guys think what happens around here is fair, as a whole? Furthermore, and this isn't just in Fandom, but do you think Justice can ever be viewed as subjective? Or, rather, the way said Justice is implemented.

I mean, let's say that someone, for instance, had nothing to do with the casting of a play, and she got horribly punished anyway, because the person who got cast thought it was in the name of Jusice to curse her, or something? Is that right, or wrong? Whoever cursed this person probably thought they were doing it for the good of the school, but they were misguided. Some might argue that Justice had become more like revenge then.

Once Justice is enacted due to a personal vendetta of sorts, does it cross the line from objective, fair Justice to subjective revenge? Or is there a middle ground? Discuss. And if you want to know what I'm talking about, ask me about my arms and legs. Seriously. I dare you."

Rory scowled, and paused. "Um, and for extra credit? Give me names of people who could conceivably cast a curse or whatever. Who live here. Who don't like plays, or brunettes, or something. Oh! And Logan, I need to talk to you when you have a second. After class, if it needs to be."

"But I can't see Piper doing this," said Janet. "She's just not that kind of person."

"Really? Just because you think you know a person doesn't mean you *know* everything about them." Marty said in a meaningful tone.

"But you can get a pretty good idea of their personality after a short period of time," said Janet. She gave Marty a confused look at his tone. He was behaving pretty oddly today. "Are you suggesting that we have a coven of evil witches wandering around the school that have suddenly decided to start cursing random people?"

"Not at all. I'm just saying that there are *some* people who have been keeping secrets about themselves," Marty replied as he played with an envelope that he had in his hands. "I'm just wondering whether or not these secrets could be endangering other students."

"Everybody has secrets," Janet replied. Why was Marty fidgeting so much today? "Most of them are harmless."

"Key word there being 'most'," Marty pointed out.

"What the heck are you going on about?" asked Janet.
