“Okay.”  How long had it been since she slept?  I was having trouble following her train of thought.

Kinda like other people might feel about me when I talk about Homestuck shirts and a not too many sentences later I’m going on about the narrative roles of Olaf versus Jar-Jar Binks.

“So I think it should mean something extra, something special, when I’m telling you to hurt them.  Fuck them up.  Hurt them as much as you think they deserve, then double that.  Triple it, just- just make them-”

Yep, we’ve got a shaken pacifist over here.

This reminds me of the Norwegian people’s reaction – including mine – to the Utøya attacks, which I have talked about before on the blog. It really shook us to the core, and we had lots of people advocating the death sentence for Anders Behring Breivik (though I don’t think that was ever really a legal option for law enforcement – even if they had reinstated the death sentence as a reaction to his crimes, I don’t think they could use it for a crime committed before it was reinstated without some seriously good reasons), or otherwise harder punishments than we normally allow.

I seriously would not blame someone for murdering him the second he came out of prison, if he ever did.
