Criminal Justice

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

*Tick is standing at the lecturn, not swaying at all today and without glitter on his face. Glancing at him, it is impossible not to notice that he's wearing colored rubber on his antennae that looks suspiciously like... No. It can't be. Anytime he notices somebody staring at them, he merely states, "Rubber Antennae Covers. I saw that Death guy wearing them. I didn't even know he had antennae! Fashiony."*

Good work with Tuesday's discussion, class. There were some people who didn't show up, but that's okay for now! It's not too hard to catch up here! I'm all about the fairness, chums! Just don't miss today's class!

Today we will be talking about rights. We all have rights. A right to free speech. A right to free press. Criminals have the right to be Miranda. A right arm. A right leg. A right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness!

Chase down that happiness, students! Chase it down and EMBRACE IT! IT'S YOUR RIGHT!!!

When evildoers do evil, they usually take away somebody else's rights. That is wrong!

Today's discussion question is: How have your rights been taken away from you a nefarious villain doing evil? This is a real bonding question, class. Discussing past deeds done against us will only reinforce the cross bracing in our Skyscraper of Friendship! Open the doors to your Bungalow of Understanding! Discuss and bond!

(ooc: If only there was a Luke Skywalker in this class, I could've left the "right hand" joke out earlier and hoped for the best with the discussion question. But Luke probably wouldn't make such a bad pun. Wuss.)

*stumbles into class, no sleep and really really grumpy. Sitting down on the floor against a wall, she begins ranting*

Rights? You wanna discuss rights? The right to purchase a house for your teenage daughter and have half of it cave in at 6 in the FREAKING MORNING?!

I'm sorry sir, I haven't had any sleep...my living room wall caved in Wednesday morning and the structure's not stable enough to be upstairs.

Don't worry! It's understandable. If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know!

(OOC: I'll be at work all day, but if you want to have Tick holding up the second floor until it gets fixed or something, feel free to use him. He doesn't have anything to do until class on Tuesday.)

Thanks sir...I called in repairmen should hopefully be here by weekend.

*is confused by the topic, as Westley is from before rights (but after arms and legs, and he still has all of those).

Wonders who Miranda is, and why criminals want to be her.*

*hesitates for a moment*

The senior midshipman aboard Justinian had a tendency to abuse any of the rest of us on a whim. Take that as you will -- I assure you he went very, very far. One gives up the majority of one's right to privacy on board ship, but he would cheerfully strip away what little of it was left to us.

Miranda is a lovely lady who makes sure that criminals aren't mistreated after they've been beaten up and arrested. It's a good way of showing that everyone has rights, even vile evil-doers.

Egad, man! You've been through a lot, haven't you? But you've become Mighty in response to it, and my hat is off to you! If I had a hat.

I'm sure you'll bring yourself all the way to your full justice potential, chum! Evil will grow to fear the name Archie!

::attempts some sort of intelligent discourse::

[if I get booted out of class, I shall survive. But, er, the sheer overwhelming number of threads kinda swamped me. *mutters* plus.. *blushes* I kind of forgot which classes I signed up for.]

Good discussion, lad. I'm not sure what juggling kittens has to do with rights, but still, good work.
