If you're still taking questions, I always wondered about the issue of the justice system pursuing punishment even after the victim has essentially said they are no longer seeking that (I believe that is the case here, correct me if I'm wrong). I understand that on one side there is a principle of keeping a hygenic mores -- prosecuting people even if they are in a grey area keeps us from sliding into a society we don't want to be. And furthermore it keeps there from being an incentive for perpetrators to intimidate the victim into not pursuing justice.

On the other hand, if a victim is no longer seeking that punishment...it just seems like a runaway justice system. Who are they doing this for, if not the victim. It seems...selfish of the justice system to do that if that makes sense?

Anyways, I can see both sides of the argument (and hopefully I haven't articulated them too poorly or missed major facets, but if so feel free to correct me). What are your thoughts on this?

This is exactly the sort of modest denial I would expect from the Edge. ;p

Have you seen the one where they sign it as Obama yet it is an anti-net neutrality? The fakers are begging to be caught.

Interesting and I'm sorry you had/have people trying to use you for their gain. We put the justice system on a pedestal but...they are people just like anyone else and people can be really shitty unfortunately.

Anyways, glad to hear you try to not let this stuff define you.

I am a sociopath with one hand and a vendetta against the vampire with a soul. Also, karaoke doesn't work out well for me.
