Advanced Criminal Justice, Class 28, Period 1, 04.20.06

[OOC: Continuing "Raid Wiki For Info" Week! Also, I've finally updated the Class Info Post.]

"Hello, students! Today we're discussing two opposing models of Justice. But first, a reminder: there's only a week of classes left!"

"Okay, the two models are the Conflict Model and the Consensus Model. The Conflict Model states that the organizations in the Justice System should - and perhaps do! - come into contention with each other. For example, police are determined to put people in prison and even have clearance rates. Similar stories with the prosecutors. But prison officials may be concerned wiith overcrowding and do what they can to limit their numbers. Perhaps they even let criminals out more easily."

"Another example would be the way that police can be so determined to arrest superheroes sometimes. Or the courts with their fines for public destruction. It's all conflict. Competition, even, to see which wheel on the Tricycle of Justice is the best."

"On the other end of the theoretical teeter totter is the Consensus Model. It says that the Justice System should - and perhaps does! - work together and cooperate. The police and courts work together to send bad people to prison. The prisons hold the bad people. Superheroes assist where they can. The important thing is that, egads, we're on a tricycle and we're having fun! Look at us zoom down this hill! Wheee!"

"Some people have speculated that we shoot for Consensus but Conflict is our reality. My question for you is what do you think about the whole thing? Consensus? Conflict? Are we one? Are we the other? Is one better? What are we doing with our shiny, red tricycle?"

"Please discuss!"

Last night Jaye got to report to everyone that both exes are going to prom with friends of hers, yet she is still dateless. And they're allllllll in this class right now.

Jaye would be in a pissy mood.

Marty missed Jaye while he was gone.

And is also oblivious to Jaye's pissy mood.

He throws a paper wad at her head.

DOINK! DOINK!

It hits her.

She turns around and glares.

And then turns back around and continues to ignore.

Marty throws another paper wad.

Yes... he could be suicidal.

DOINK! DOINK!

She turns around and hisses, "NO, seriously.."

Pouting? So not working on Jaye right now.

He employs the puppy dog eyes.

"Prom is stupid," she explains, and starts tearing a piece of paper out of her notebook to tear it to shreds.

"All of it in general? Or just certain parts?" Marty asked sympathetically.
fates_jaye: (normal)

"My exes are both going with friends of mine," she says, waving around the room because she's feeling a little surrounded right now, "and I got to report it on the radio and oh, by the way, one of those friends was totally helping me mentally planning our 'boys suck, let's sit in the snark corner' deal."

"Yeah, I guess it would suck to have to go to prom and watch the guys who dumped you dance with other girls."
fates_jaye: (woe)

Re: Talk, Take Notes, Pass Notes, Etc. [Class 28]

[personal profile] fates_jaye 2006-04-20 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, and there goes the snark corner," says Jaye. "Now I get to sit there all by myself."

"Why don't you just ask someone to go with you and just hang?"
fates_jaye: (jaye does stuff)

"I was going to go solo and hang with other solo people, but the other solo person I was talking to about it is no longer solo."

Jaye could totally cry.

As long as she was passing notes, Sam slipped one to Jaye, feeling bad about abandoning the snark corner.

Would it help you to know that neither of us asked the other one and we're just going as friends?
fates_jaye: (don't like you right now)

Jaye writes back.

Nope!

Okay then. No more passing notes to Jaye. Sam also scootched her chair a little bit away from the other girl. Just in case.
