The Little Lawsuit that Could?
This article describes the pending lawsuit against Afterglow, Inc., challenging its system of slavery. The article isn't exactly pro-AGI, but it certainly isn't for the lawsuit, either; it expresses incredulity that anyone, let alone a group of Newcomers, would challenge laws that have been in place for a very long time. The implication left by the article is that the plaintiffs are upstarts who are trying to make Siren's Port more like their homes, and that they have no right to be here and try to change the city's culture.
The article concludes with a number of quotes from people on the street, talking about how little they like having the Newcomers in the city. In the end, the article just became about the author's xenophobia.
Rise in Newcomers Arrested for Violence
The editorial goes on to state that newcomers are a hostile plague on the city responsible for a wave of violent assault, citing three arrests made yesterday evening. One was a new arrival at the diamond, who lashed out at SERO researchers. The other was an attack on AGI's flagship club, Afterglow xXx, led by wanted newcomers Kadaj and Yazoo, who kidnapped and tortured an SPPD officer earlier this month.
Some additional mention is made of The Collar Killer, The Joker, Yaha, a "notoriously violent staff" at Merlotte's, and other smaller instances of property damage known to be caused by arrivals who have come to the city within the past year. The writer then recommends that schools and employers should have the right to require any newcomer seeking enrollment or employment to pass psychiatric evaluation.
