Whatever. Two cents.
So here is how I look at stuff. I'm a fairly rebellious girl: I don't like idiots telling me what to do, or trying to shower me with their moral high ground. I'm a Dark person by nature, and that means that I don't get to put on airs about who I am. So in all the time I've been here, I've seen several attempts to get some kind of half assed law

I've been in and out the Alliance, learning about them, but I had another organization I was a part of too called the Bonfire Pact. The reason for Alliance secrecy was because of what happened with
Bonfire: it got known, laughed at and largely ignored based on what people heard. In my opinion, both of these organizations didn't count on the apathetic approach some people take here: they want nothing to do with the Alliance, but they don't want them representing them (which is impossible). I felt the Alliance should have stayed covert and act like a sort of neighborhood watch so we knew who the enemies were and took care of them before worse things happened. But with the Joker thing, they want to be "fair" and have a "trial." To me, that makes what the Alliance was trying to do too focused and detracting from their real purpose: keeping peace around here. No one cared, of course, about the Joker because they thought he was a loony. But with the Harth killing, now the Alliance are scared of how they appear now. Can't really blame them. And what they didn't want is already starting to happen: people claiming the Alliance is acting as its own rouge law enforcement. They managed to bother two sides: those that hardly knew about the Alliance and think they are forcing law, and those that DO know about the Alliance and are pissed one of their own is standing trial.
Personally, the Alliance took this moral code that I want no part of. You heard about the burying thing right? Well when it happened, I took matters into my own hands, apart from the Alliance. They don't dictate my actions and they sure as hell don't police me. The problem, largely, is Heero giving himself over. Because now the Alliance will be looked at as either oppressive or wannabe law.

So what's your take on this situation?

It's not too late for them to step back and disband. But the point at which it is too late is approaching quickly.

But we'll see. Personally, I think the vamp is just hiding out right now. Dead, my ass.

I mean, "ruling you all" kinda seems a little big for them, doesn't it?

Their fault was not approaching others in Econtra about it, I'll give you that. But they haven't done anything major aside from the Joker, and everything else has been situations involving members of the organization, not them as a whole.
If they'd gone beyond that and were trying to do what you're suggesting, I'd been trying to stop them before this got so big.

You have the situation entirely backward.
