Is it cold in here?:
--- Quote from: Tova on 18 Sep 2018, 14:58 ---Given the long discussion we've been having about the way people like May are treated, this is a really interesting question. How does the way you think May should be treated compare with the way you think CW should be treated after release?

"By their fruits ye shall know them". I would treat post-release Corpse Witch with whatever treatment her actions earn.

Oooff, you got me.
Those who work in the RL criminal justice system will identify two major groups of criminal offenders - the immature and/or ignorant and the genuinely evil (let us consider the mentally ill separately for now, and note that we're only so-so at drawing the lines between the three). Most offenders fall into the first category while a smaller number fall into the second.
May is in the immature/ignorant category and, from what we have seen of her, is worth giving another chance. Corpse Witch is clearly in the second - giving her another chance is too likely to be giving her an opportunity to offend again.

Good point, but unless Jeph wants to make the strip into a crime drama we probably won't to any great extent. Even then, CW is an unreliable source. Roko won't completely disregard any of her claims, but she will take any of them with a grain or ten of salt.
Tova:
Do you believe that some are truly irredeemable?

I do not doubt that there are a few. Theodore Bundy, Charles Rodman Campbell, and Jeffrey Dahmer, for example.

Is Roko being fair to herself? Would Corpse Witch have ever been taken down if Roko hadn't applied pressure and started events in motion, not that she was in charge of them but still? I called her "Clouseau" at the time, but fact is you can't blame yourself if witnesses are mind-controlled and superiors are bribed.

She's the one who took the first step that made that change possible.
For change to happen, someone has to take that first step.
