Who: Peace Patrol Current Members & Interested Parties
What: Peace Patrol meeting!
When: Friday afternoon
Where: PPHQ, in the basement
Rating: ... IDK, depends on how mouthy people get? YMMV.

((OOC Note: I decided to do this meeting as a log, so that people can tag themselves in and have this count toward AC, and such. Use whatever writing format you're comfortable with ... there will be sections for specific discussion, just as in previous meetings. Tag where you like, and HAVE FUN!))

[it felt strange not having Yuan present for the meeting, and the Doctor felt a bit like an imposter as he set up the rows of chairs in the basement for the Patrol members. the elder elf would certainly have had something to say about all of this, but his name was still on his door - which stood to reason that he was still around the castle, but indisposed on some sort of loss... at the moment, however, there were more pressing matters at hand. with a sigh, Five put his worries about his friend's whereabouts to the back of his mind and prepared for the tasks to come.]

We need to do something. No wonder they're all getting antsy. They've been stuck down there without knowing what their fate is for months. Yes, they need to be punished, but keeping them down there indefinitely won't do anyone any good.

Yeah, I ... I been thinkin' the same thing. [Ray makes a guilty little face - he's mostly thinking of Billy, who really doesn't seem like he could hurt a fly unless brooding suddenly became a lethal weapon]

Problem is, what can we do? Room arrest or ... what? I mean ... is the time sentence enough? And how d'we decide if it is?

[Lloyd's brows furrow.]

Everyone deserves a second chance. But we should make sure the victims and their families feel like the punishment is fair, too.

Yeah, that's ... pretty important, too. [he frowns, thoughtfully] Justice is a tricky thing.

I think the prisoners should use their time trying to make up for what they did, and doing the right thing.

Not everyone wants to change or take a different path. As hard as that is to accept, we should make allowances for them, too. Make sure they're treated humanely, but kept from harming other people.

Put them to work then. Get them to fix the town up or something, pay recompense for their actions. If they don't want to do that, they can stay in prison.
