Roger Garcetti sez that he thinks Batman is a vigilante. He says that Batman should be arrested. This makes me so mad. Batman is the best thing that has happened to this city.

This city is ****messed up***** Anything good that happens gets *****messed up***** Politicians in this city are the worst. They're all crooked.

I support Batman but Garcetti, as a representative of the established civil authority really has to take that position. Batman exists outside the established authority and is therefore a threat to it. Think about it, there are over four hundred citizens for every cop, so the system works only if 1. the police are the only ones to enforce order and 2. most of us follow the rules and the police only have to deal with a few people who deviate.

The alternative is a world where anyone who has a grudge takes care of it themselves. That means that a person who feels wronged deals directly with his neighbor, shoots them if they feel its necessary. You get feuds and lawlessness and a survival of the fittest. The strong dominate the weak. By taking the law into his own hands, Batman threatens the police monopoly on maintaining order and could be seen as taking the first step towards that kind of lawlessness.

The problem is that the police are not keeping their end of the civil contract. We give them power with the understanding that they will maintain order. But anyone who lives in Gotham can see that order and safety are breaking down. We are already in a state of lawlessness. Batman is responding to the increasing disorder. And so are we by joining Citizens For Batman.

So you are saying that Batman should be arrested? Why the hell did you join this group then? You should leave. You're not welcome here.

If you read my post, you'll see that I say Garcetti has to call for Batman's arrest because he represents the civil organization. But the civil organization (that is, the city of Gotham) is failing in its contract with the citizens of the city.

I'm not a lawyer OR a politician and I don't have a PHD in gobblygook. Plain English.

i think what tarida is saying is that garcetti has to want to arrest batman but we don't he doesn't want to arrest the b-dude

Then why doesn't he say that?

people like Tarida use long words to compensate for there stupidity

buttercookies, no insults. This is your first warning.

Joke, WWBD.

Who do you plan to vote for? I'm for Dent.

Dent.

Dent.

Harvey Dent.

Garcetti makes my skin crawl.

Dana Worthington. But Dent is going to win.

Is that some sort of Feminist solidarity, Liz?

Just democracy in action, Oscar.

Dent never got into mudslinging, even when Garcetti was doing his slimy worst. And he's got guts. And he doesn't want to arrest Batman. Dent's got my vote.
