It is not a crime to be a Muslim buying fertilizer(at least the last time I checked) but it is illegal for any kind of terrorist to plan to build a bomb to kill.(01-03-2018, 11:27 AM)irukandji Wrote: It'd be interesting to see how Nick's antics would be viewed if someone or perhaps some people just happened to catch him on their cell phones.
I think it would be more interesting to see the reactions of the folks abiding Nick's behavior if you had very similar crimes committed by people who were LGBT or illegal aliens. What if instead of BC we substituted LaRaza and they were attempting to force all people who are Hispanic business owners to join them and uprising against the gringos or they would burn their shops, beat them, and make examples of them?
Or what about Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) gangs? I don't think there is much a wesen could do to human that is worse than what MS-13 has done to people. So how would it be if Nick simply suspended the rule of law for MS-13 members.
Or what if Nick had finely tuned gaydar and could detect homosexuals who committed heinous crimes...
Better yet what if Nick could detect Muslims and simply went around violating the rights of terrorists? He could kick in the doors of mosques and dispatch some justice to the radicalized. Heck no need for warrants or trials, the guy had a prayer rug and bought some fertilizer and Nick heard him talking. Or that kid, Ahmed Mohamed...with that clock? Come on Truble let's go visit him.
In my view, either you support the rule of law for all people (and judging by the "for the religious" thread there is not anyone who does to consider wesen the equivalent of humans, except maybe me) or you believe the rule of applies to some people and not others based on some concrete criteria. Fortunately in Grimm we know that we have a Solomon like sage in the form of Nick making the determination on the fly in a fit of passion.
