These were dangerous thoughts, he knew. They were the kind that crept up on a Watchman when the chase was over and it was just you and him, facing one another in that breathless little pinch between the crime and the punishment.

And maybe a Watchman had seen civilization with the skin ripped off one time too many and stopped acting like a Watchman and started acting like a normal human being and realized that the click of the crossbow or the sweep of the sword would make all the world so clean.

And you couldn't think like that, even about vampires. Even though they'd take the lives of other people because little lives don't matter and what the hell can we take away from them?

And, too, you couldn't think like that because they gave you a sword and a badge and that turned you into something else and that had to mean there were some thoughts you couldn't think.

Only crimes could take place in darkness. Punishment had to be done in the light. That was the job of a good Watchman, Carrot always said. To light a candle in the dark.

🇿🇦🇮🇱 🚨

ICJ CALLS ON ISRAEL TO TAKE MEASURES TO PREVENT CIVILIAN CASUALTIES WITH NO DEMAND FOR A CEASEFIRE

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) at The Hague, Netherlands, has delivered its ruling on South Africa's request for an emergency injunction in its case accusing the Israeli entity of violating its obligations under the Genocide conventions.

The Court ruled that Israel must take steps to further protect civilian lives while conducting its war, however, the ruling stopped short of demanding a full humanitarian ceasefire.

The ICJ said it was "acutely aware" of the massive human tragedy Palestinians are suffering in the Gaza Strip, adding that it was "deeply concerned" by the continued loss of life.

The ICJ's ruling determined the Court retains the authority to order provisional measures against the Israeli occupation authorities for its violations of its responsibilities under the genocide conventions, going so far as to say that at least some of South Africa's accusations against Israel "appear to be capable of falling within provisions of the Genocide convention."

The Court also says the Israeli entity must take "immediate effective measures" to protect Palestinian civilians and avoid committing acts which might fall within the terms of genocide conventions.

In a vote of 15-2, the majority on the Court calls on Israel to take all measures to refrain from the commission of genocidal acts on the Palestinian population of the Gaza Strip.

While the Court's decision was not what supporters of Palestine hoped for, the actual merits of the case have not yet been ruled on, which could take as long as a year before a ruling is handed down.

The current ICJ ruling issued today was to determine if the Court would take extraordinary emergency measures to halt Israel's war of genocide, which the Court has decided against doing.

Almost immediately after the Court handed down its ruling, Israeli Minister Ben-Gvir accused the justices on the Court of being "antisemitic" and accusing the Court of not seeking justice, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked his War Cabinet not to comment of the ICJ ruling.

South Africa, for its part, told reporters "we stand with Palestine," and added that "our message to them is to never give up hope."

What the Ace Attorney Villains Could Get Charged With (to the best of my research) (in America laws)

Game Two

!Disclaimer! I know nothing about law take this with a grain of salt I was just bored.

Richard Wellington

Assault and battery - Two cases of both. One when he killed Dustin Prince and the second when he hit Phoenix with the fire extinguisher. Though, depending on whether or not Phoenix saw him coming, he could be innocent of the second assault charge. Not the battery, though. I doubt either would count as aggravated assault, as it was the fall, not the fists, that killed Dustin; though Phoenix's is a bit more uncertain due to the weight of the fire extinguisher and the fact that he's only not dead because he's a freak of nature.

Incrimination - He tried to frame Maggey with the name written in the sand.

Obstruction of justice - Can you say "tampering with the crime scene"?

Theft - He stole Phoenix's phone, even if it wasn't technically his intention. It doesn't really matter, since his own phone was likely regarded as evidence. So, theft no matter how you look at it.

Fraud - So much fraud, seeing as he's a con artist. That's what con artistry is. The textbook definition of fraud, all the time, as a job.

Conspiracy - As he was in a GROUP of con artists, his fraud is conspiratorial in nature.

Second-degree murder - He had the intention to kill or severely injure Dustin, but didn't seem to be thinking about it. Thus, no premeditation.

Computer fraud/abuse - Yes, this is an actual thing. When he deletes the contacts off of Phoenix's phone, he's commiting a crime. Doubly so since his actual intention to delete information off of a piece of evidence during a criminal investigation, which may lead to some transferred intent or something.

Perjury

Morgan Fey (includes crimes from Game 3)

Conspiracy - She plans the murder of Dr. Grey with Ini Miney, in depth. Perhaps the most clear-cut case of conspiracy in the series. Also all KINDS of conspiracy in Bridge to the Turnabout.

Obstruction of justice - She did the tampering of the crime scene in Dr. Grey's murder, hiding and fabricating several pieces of evidence regarding Maya.

Incrimination - You know the deal. Frame-ups are incrimination.

Treason - Depending on how you interpret the government in Kurain, she could be guilty of this by committing crimes against the government. I'm trying to figure out what crime she may have committed trying to usurp Maya and Misty, so I may change this later if I figure out something more accurate.

Corruption - If you don't think treason makes sense, then she definitely committed this, regardless. Even without any monarchy, there would have to be some kind of business model for the spirit channeling, which makes her a business executive of sorts, therefore capable of criminal corruption.

First-degree murder - By proxy, when Ini Miney kills Dr. Grey. They planned it together, after all.

Attempted regicide - This is the closest real life law to describe when she tried to kill Maya due to her status. By proxy, of course. If you don't buy the Feys being some kind of pseudo-monarchy, then this is just attempted murder.

Assault and battery - Three charges, by proxy. One for Dr. Grey, one for the drugging of Maya, and one for Dahlia attacking Maya at Hazakura temple. All are aggravated except for the drugging because knife. It's possible some of the assault charges wouldn't go through due to the fact that Dr. Grey and Maya may not have seen the attacks coming.

Child abuse - Her treatment of Pearl could easily be considered this, particularly in the third game when she tries to trick her into murdering her cousin. That's pretty bad parenting.

Perjury

Acro (Ken Dingling)

First-degree murder - The murder was about as planned as you can get without taking it to its logical extreme Manfred-von-Karma-style. Yes, he intended to murder Regina, but transferal of intent is a thing. I'm honestly not sure if the fact that he was intending to kill a child carries over, but if it does, the punishment would be greater.

Obstruction of justice - A bit of a grey area, but he did hide the murder weapon and burn the cape, so I believe this applies.

Child endangerment - This or a similar charge may apply due to his goal to kill a child, by my best estimation. Even if it doesn't, failure to report suspected child abuse can count as child endangerment, and... well, the basically the whole circus was grooming this sixteen year old girl, so...

Incrimination - Depends if you think his framing of Max became intentional at some point along the way, which, considering the fact that he testified against him, it almost definitely did.

Battery - No assault, actually, since Russel didn't see the statue coming! But still battery. Automatically.

Perjury

Matt Engarde (+ Shelly de Killer, by extent)

Conspiracy - He hired an assassin.

First-degree murder - He hired an assassin.

Burglary - Breaking into a place with the intent of committing a felony. While he didn't do this himself, he had Shelly de Killer do it, and anything a hitman does while carrying out the act they were paid to do is a crime the hirer is also guilty of.

Assault and battery - Given Shelly de Killer suffocated Juan and there were signs of a struggle, this is presumably true. Matt is guilty by proxy. Given that we have no idea what he used to kill him, I have no idea if this is aggravated or not.

Fraud - Shelly de Killer pretended to be a bellboy at the hotel. Matt is guilty by proxy.

Blackmail - The ENTIRE case hinges on blackmail in the form of kidnapping Maya. However, he also takes significant steps towards blackmailing Shelly de Killer, so he may actually have two cases of this on his hands.

Kidnapping - This is a bit of a grey area, since it isn't certain that he directly ordered Shelly de Killer to kidnap Maya and use her to blackmail Phoenix. However, given that she was hidden in his house, he seems to know what happened, and he assists by reminding Phoenix of the situation, it's safe to say this was a conspiratorial crime. He's almost DEFINITELY going to be found guilty of this.

Wiretapping - Hiding hidden cameras in a "gift" for someone, as well as around his private residence... wiretapping for sure. Only if the video included audio, though. If not, it doesn't count.

Incrimination - In the plot twist of the century, he's actually guilty of this through conspiring with Phoenix himself. While he did not directly tell him or formulate and communicate the plan to pin the blame on Adrian at first, he did so later and clarified that this was always his intention. While Phoenix has the defense of being blackmailed at the time and the fact that he didn't actually provide any incriminating testimony (perhaps he's accessory?), Matt likely isn't going to be so lucky.

Invasion of privacy - See: wiretapping. Even if the cameras didn't have audio, they'd still be a huge invasion of privacy.

Taking a hostage - A few different names for this depending on where you are, but the basic principle remains the same. This is a separate crime from kidnapping and blackmail, as neither automatically mean a hostage situation. By proxy; even if he weren't conspiring, Shelly still defines this as part of the duties he was paid for, so the whole hired-felony-committing thing still applies.

False imprisonment - This is also not technically the same as a kidnapping charge. Shelly not only moved Maya to a different location against her will (kidnapping), but he also kept her there (false imprisonment). By proxy.

Perjury

Another demonstration against Femicide and barely any media attention

Activists denounce 900 femicides under Macron presidency in Paris protest

Mared Gwyn Jones Fri, February 9, 2024

French feminist group #NousToutes took to the streets of Paris on Thursday evening to honour the 900 women murdered in France since Emmanuel Macron came to power.

Holding signs saying "guilty state, justice accomplice," they denounced Macron for failing to protect women and girls from violence.

Some 900 candles representing every woman killed were lit near the city's iconic Eiffel tour, and a 15-metre-long banner with the names and ages of the women was displayed.

It included the names of the 20 women, aged between 16 and 75, the group say have been killed since the beginning of this year.

#NousToutes say the frighteningly high numbers highlight an "absence of real political will" from the French government to tackle gender-based violence.

"Since President Emmanuel Macron took office, more than 900 femicides have been recorded and more than 1,000 children have been orphaned," they said in a statement.

They also say that the "great cause" of Macron's five-year term is conspicuous in its absence.

In November 2017, months after taking office at the Élysée Palace, Macron declared that equality between men and women would become the "grand cause" of his term, vowing to prioritise the crackdown on violence against women.

But Macron sparked fierce condemnation in 2020, when he appointed Gérald Darmanin to the post of Minister of the Interior.

Darmanin at the time faced allegations of rape.

Macron came under further fire earlier this year when he defended French actor Gérard Depardieu's right to be presumed innocent after he was accused of sexual assault.

In a further blow to his "grand cause", Macron has been blasted for blocking the inclusion of rape as an EU-wide crime in new EU laws to fight violence against women.

"Nothing has changed since 2016 and the start of our count, we have been at the same rate for eight years, with a woman killed every three days by her partner or ex-partner," Julia, not her real name, told the AFP news agency on Thursday.

The group say their femicide count helps raise public awareness of the gravity of the problem and put pressure on Macron's government to take action.

Macron became France's President in May 2017 and is currently serving his second term.

#France #Femicide #NousToutes #Under president Emmananuel Macron 900 wo en were murdered #Guilty state justice accomplice #20 women since January 1 2024 #Victims of frmicide ranged from 16 to 75 #More than 1000 children have been orphaned #Gérald Darmaninfaced allegations of rape #Gérard Depardieu #Macron has been blasted for blocking the inclusion of rape as an EU-wide crime in new EU laws to fight violence against women #In France a woman is killed every three days

Journalist Rachel Shabi eloquently summarising the truth "The only way we are going to get a ceasefire is from International pressure. There's no way Israel's going to do it on its own... By the way none of this started on October 7th ....We have decade upon decade of green lights given to Israel which has serially violated international law"

Israeli Soldiers: We Will Erase and Destroy Gaza

Israeli soldiers holding signs that together read:

“We are the soldiers of the Jewish people’s army from right and left. We won’t take off our uniforms until we erase and destroy Gaza.”

In Israel, genocide is mainstream.

ICJ calls on Israel to implement provisional measures in Rafah

It seems the opposite of logic for them to say this but then refuse to do anything about it. They had given Israel 30 days to stop and when they instead stepped up the bombings the ICJ just wags its finger and little else. The Court case resumes on Monday so we'll see what happens but I personally am not going to hold my breath.

You know, I've been rewatching s24 of SVU and the really frustrating thing isn't even how they did Joe dirty. Because actually his storyline was very in line with what he told Fin about being the gang's bait, and what he told the whole team when he was trying to track down the trafficked girls from Juarez.

Which honestly just makes the whole thing more frustrating because Fin was giving him just as much of a hard time as Liv, just not quite as directly, and THEY BOTH ALREADY KNEW that he had done shady and criminal shit with the gang in order to survive. They KNEW that was why his mother got their priest to help send him to the U.S. to get him out of it. THEY KNEW what his past was like, and were fine with it.

And now all of a sudden they can't trust him, and he has to "clean up his mess"? Now it's a problem that he understands what that's like and it's what drives him to be a better cop, to make up for what he sees as his wrongs when he was a kid?

#and don't even get me started on the hypocrisy of giving Joe such shit for that but never once questioning any of the things Elliot has done #Law and Order SVU #.SVU #Joe Velasco #SVU season 24 #Shye Rants #Saint Benson strikes again #Justice for Joe Velasco's Storyline #or Rollins. who committed actual crimes. as fully aware already a cop adult and we forgave her no problem?

Revert Palestine to its original territory, to multiculturalism and to democracy. Stop funding crimes with US taxpayer money.

"..the Israeli air attacks and ground actions in Jenin “amount to egregious violations of international law and standards on the use of force and may constitute a war crime”."
