Emperor Cole at the end of the Power Loyalist Arc...

Well, Calvin Scott himself wa simpriosned and tortured in the BAF for asking for his wife back, and Katie Douglas' father was impsioned there too for 15 years for a simialr "crime" when he tried to get his daughter back from the Seer network.
Thenthere's Wardog's family being "sent overseas" because he started teaching his students the truth about Praetoria, and Rothstein had his wife and daughter killed too, which turned him into a suicide bomber.
Plus, the GR website section on the PPD says:

So, depending on how minimal you like your elbow movement when you salute, it's possible that speaking out against the dictatorship does count as "totally having it coming to you".

Because the Resistance are the right side in the game - plus, neutral things like bagdes back up their claims

200%? I guess you think that 2 + 2 can be 5, or sometimes 3, or even 4?

Golden Cole is like... Godwin's Law personified.

Reminds me of a sign I read on the Daily Show a while back 'I Disagree With What You Say, But I'm Pretty Sure You're Not Hitler!'

Of course everything the Resistance claims is true--just like how half the people in our prisons claim to be innocent!

So how does having your loved ones taken away just because you spoke out against the dictatorship count as "deserving it"?

Plus, even genuine criminals don't deserve to be tortured and murdered - the very fact that there are torture chambers and slaughter houses under the PPD buildings is a crime against humanity.

Attention, duelists! I'm not convinced you have a morality system YOU recognize. Really, Golden Girl, where you getting this? Because you're sure not aligned with any ethical system I recognize from the various Ethics classes I've taken over the years.

Because it's impossible that the family members were Resistance, or helped the Resistance, and executed for their crimes, right Golden Cole? The Resistance would neeeeeever lie to -you-....

Heh... I love it when she makes the appeals to emotion, rather than a logical or well reasoned debate, don't you?

Well, it's backed up by neutral sources too - plus, things like Jessica Flores' arc wouldn't make any sense if she was free to report the truth to the people, rather than having to get your help to bypass the state control of the media.

Also, there aren't any loyalists denials of their crimes - and the power path focuses on manipulating the truth, while the responsibility one ends with you having the choice to blow Interrogator Kang's brains out to stop him getting the truth out to the people.

... Actually that spells Desperation. But it's synonymous!

-Rachel-

Jesus H Cripes, Golden Cole. PICK ONE!~ Either you hate and want to kill the man for what he did to his daughter or you want him to live. I can't kill him -and- let him live.

-Rachel-

Show me where they lie

There's not really any point in making an emotional appeal to people who have no souls.

Oh, if only you'd have even bothered to read my posts other than just spout one liners. Oh, well.

Where did I say I wanted to kill him?

So stop making Emotional Appeals to Resistance Sympathizers, Idiot.

-Rachel-

Let me guess, the moment he switched sides it became not okay to kill him?

Typical loyalist - you think everything can be fitted into a system

In almost any other post involving Kang you've stated he should die and burn and no father would ever do that and yadda yadda yadda.

But now you want us to let him live because he'll help your cause? Either the man is evil incarnate or he isn't. But pick one and stick with it, Hypocrite.

-Rachel-

I don't need to - they already have their hearts in the right place

...every single other time he was mentioned?

No I haven't.

I said he's the scum of the earth for what he did to his daughter - that doesn't mean he should be killed though.

Again, feel free to find where I said that

It's not my fault that you can't disprove the truth
