The network has been up in arms lately with such amusing things. Moral quandaries, magic spindles. Truly the city that never sleeps. Those who are so against a telepath working for the police, however, are by far the most interesting. To tie to the two together, the question I then pose you is this:
Imagine a family member, a lover or a best friend, someone whom you cannot fathom living without. Imagine another has tortured this person that you love so much -- slowly, violently, publicly -- without cause, without reason, perhaps just to prove that he could do so. The suffering that your loved one has lived through is unimaginable. The pain that he or she feels each morning, just upon waking, knowing that he or she has woken up in a world that would allow this to happen, is palpable. Insurmountable.
Imagine your hurt, your frustration. You cannot do anything but watch as they are consumed in their own grief, doubling your own. You are helpless as this person who you love so much becomes a shadow of their former self, constantly tortured by their own memories -- nightmares, flashbacks -- every single day reliving this event that has now shaped his or her life.
Now you have one chance to find the person who committed this crime.
Do you take it?
I actually find it truly amazing that so many people are taking a man who ripped another limb from limb -- allegedly -- so seriously. Jason Todd had enough wits about him to whine about his treatment to the network, so clearly no mind-wiping or memory altering took place. I can assure that if his victim were someone I had cared about, someone who I loved, I would have been far less gentle.
