Jason and Dick chat

[benicio127.insanejournal.com]

A moment between these two that doesn't involve either getting their junk punched.

I don't know about you, but I would say this is a clear anti-hero moment for Jason. (And then along came ... well, you know.)



From Outsiders 44 & 45. Eight scans.

 Is that last panel pretty much a slasher's fantasy or what?

But that's not your job. That's no one person's job to be judge, jury and executioner. There's a reason that's no one person's job (and it's partly to protect the person doing the job) and also, yes. I really don't think many people would argue that there's NOT a difference between killing a person in cold blood and putting down a rabid dog.

Reasons and context should matter. And should not be the burden of one single individual. There's a reason we have a distinction between the three branches of law. It's checks and balances.

And what? Subjective? I don't think it's so easy to find an actual, willing to go through with it significant group of people who'd prefer being dead to being not dead.

And, I'll add, even with checks and balances and far smarter people than Jason, mistakes are made. I'm not going into my thoughts on capital punishment, but Jason certainly shouldn't be put in charge.

It'd be a disservice to the system and a disservice to Jason. This guy needs that burden on him too?

I don't care about it being a disservice to a system that plain doesn't work. As for Jason, he takes the burden on himself willingly.
