"Ottawa Hold-Up Man Gets 10 Years and 15 Lashes," Ottawa Journal. June 11, 1934. Page 1 & 7. ---- TERM ADDED FOR ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL ---- Alphonse Plante Appeals to Magistrate Strike for Leniency. ---- COURT CALLS HIM PUBLIC ENEMY ---- Ten years in Kingston Penitentiary and fifteen strokes of the lash was the penalty imposed in police court, today, on Alphonse Plante, aged 25, of 262 1-2 Rideau street, for robbery with violence. He was also given five years in penitentiary for attempting jail breaking at Carleton County jail on May 24, and for occasioning bodily harm, and one year for common assault, all of the three last sentences to run concurrently, making ten in all.

Emile Piche, who was an accomplice of Plante in the jail-breaking in which Michael O'Grady, turnkey at the Carleton county jail, was seriously injured, was sentenced to two years in penitentiary.

Stiffest Sentences Given. The sentences were the stiffest that Magistrate Strike has given since he ascended the magistrate's bench.

Plante who was known to the police as a vicious and dangerous character appealed to Magistrate Strike for leniency, before he was sentenced. He told the court he was 25 years of age and since he was 17 years of age had spent seven years in jail, "the best part of his life," he added.

Doesn't Do Him Any Good. "I expect to be sentenced, Your Worship," he said "but I am no better now than when I first went to jail. It has not seemed to do me any good and, so I would like as short a term as possible."

Magistrate Strike reminded the prisoner that he was before the court on four very grave charges, every one involving violence, one of robbery at the point of a pistol, one of attempted jail-breaking, assault with violence, and common assault

"There is no one that can be blamed for your trouble except yourself." said the magistrate. "You have had chances to go straight. Now it becomes my duty to regard you as a public enemy. You have placed yourself beyond the pale." He then imposed the sentence.

Must Protect Officials. In regard to Piche, Magistrate Strike said he found he had no previous serious police record and was a different type than Plante.

"There might be some excuse for you, because you associated with Plante. Your crime, however, cannot be overlooked or tolerated. You are charged with assault causing grievous bodily harm, and it's a wonder to me the results were not more serious. It is necessary for us to protect our public officials and I sentence you to two years in Kingston penitentiary."

Plante Heavily Handcuffed. Plante was removed to the county jail immediately after being sentenced, heavily handcuffed, as was also Piche. Plante was arrested on a charge of armed robbery when trapped in a cottage at Constance Bay by four city detectives under Detective Aubrey MacDonald. Once he kicked and bit Motorcycle Officer Lionel Dion so severely that the officer's index finger had to be amputated. On another occasion he attacked a guard in Hull jail.

The attempted jail-break, in which both men figured, occurred on May 24. Turnkey Michael O'Grady was hit over the head with an iron bar, receiving cuts that required thirteen stitches to close. Piche was associated with Plante In this offence, Piche had been arrested in Montreal and was brought to Ottawa to face a charge of non-support.

[Plante was 25, from Quebec City, was a trained shoemaker thanks to prison time, and spoke fluent English and French. He had a long record, with terms in the Mimico Industrial School, Carleton County jail, a previous term at Kingston Penitentiary as #132 back in 1925, and had been released from St. Vincent de Paul Penitentiary. He was convict #3472 at Kingston Penitentiary, and was a shoemaker. He was reported twenty times for various offences, mostly insolence, gambling and refusal to work. He was released in 1940. Piche was 39, married, from Wakefield, and had no record. he was convict #3473 and was released December 1935.]

DP x DC prompt [19]

A couple days ago, or maybe it’s been a week now, there had been a horrid storm.

It had been bad enough on the surface but underwater it had caused extremely powerful currents that have dragged a very young Garth away and into the unknown.

He really should have listened to Atlan and stayed put…

Lost and alone, a Little Garth has found himself a lot closer to the surface than usual, the sea currents are still churning pretty bad and he simply can’t navigate his way back to anything remotely familiar.

At this point he’s quite hungry and tired, and he’s found that catching something is somewhat easier nearer to the surface.

However, now something entirely different has caught his attention.

still safely tucked away under the waves. Garth is watching two surface dwellers. judging by size they should be even younger than Garth is, which probably means their caretaker(s) are nearby.

Garth is about to leave them to it and go his own way when he catches on to the erratic kicking movements of the smallest one.

oh, he’s pretty sure surface dwellers aren’t supposed to stay underwater that long, that is if Atlan’s stories are correct.

And even though he’s somewhat terrified, he finds he can’t just… though he probably should…

Well, he ends up saving Danny from drowning.

Jazz and Danny’s parents are busy with a supposed haunted shipwreck and not paying attention.

But by saving Danny Garth found by Maddie and Jack. Who are worried that Garth is there all alone which is like... kinda hypocritical but whatever.

No ghost, but they got a sea boy!

and that quickly has them reassessing their disappointing conclusion that the wreck isn’t haunted, clearly the ghosts are somewhere underwater! After all, the ship was lost at sea and simply washed ashore.

Garth can’t really communicate that great with the Fenton’s. He doesn’t know english, and they do not have telepathy, the only thing he can catch from them is impressions of their emotions, which does make figuring out “yes” and “no” a bit easier.

At first he decides to accept their offer of shelter and food simply because he’s tired and hungry, and they seem like good people even if they are from the surface.

Then Garth makes the mistake of getting attached. All of a sudden he’s put in a eldest brother role. Jazz is determined to teach him english with her kid books and Danny has been attached to him like a barnacle ever since Garth got him out of the water.

And Garth’s needs aren’t even remotely treated as some sort of annoyance, they make note of his need for lots of water and adapt easily.

Everything is extremely overwhelming but thankfully for Garth they don't make the offer to take him with them to Amity Park right away.

They are on a family trip so they stick to the sea for another week and a half or so. After that they ask if he wants to just come with, Danny basically begs him, having an older brother seems like the best thing ever to him.

And Garth ends up taking the offer cause the last week was better than most of his lonely life so far, even if everything is weird and difficult and he can't communicate right.

y'all ever think abt how it was julie having the affair and it is even said multiple times that she was the one who left him, yet wilson was still the one who left their home and moved in with house. like. he couldn't bear to stay in their home alone. he immediately ran to house and stayed on his couch for weeks. suffered through his pranks and his laziness and his manipulation. telling him he wants him gone while sabotaging his attempts to leave. and he only left once he got a girlfriend again.

[aethersea]

it is funny though how kids' shows are so so so careful about death, no one's ever killed except MAYYYYBE the big bad, all those random side characters are fine, here have a quick shot of them before we leave just so you know they really did survive that 50-foot drop into a stormy sea,

and meanwhile kids' books nearly all agree that it's not an adventure until it has a body count.

i don't like how the joker movie and other joker representations make him mentally ill and blame his crimes on his ailing mental health (instead of on joker venom which i think it's still comic canon)

*if MC was taken by the Senobium and Main Five decided to actually work together to break them out*

Leander: If rummaging through my old folks’ archives has given me any useful information, there exists a master key to the Senobium that deactivates their magical security measures. Kuras: Indeed. Long ago, to keep it safe, the Senobium had entrusted their key to me. Ais: So where is it now? Kuras: In the bowels of the Wastes. Leander: The Wastes? While you were trying to keep it safe? Why would you take it out there? Kuras: It is the last place anyone who values their life would go. Mhin: *sigh* Sounds lovely. Kuras: Quite the opposite. Mhin: I know, I was being ironic. Kuras: I find irony is a blade that cuts they who wield it most especially. Vere: Yeah? iS tHaT whAt yOu fiNd? DoCToR? Leander: Ooookay, can we all put aside trying to kill each other until after I save MC? Ocudeus: *to Ais* Yeah...the Sparrow’s doomed.

Imagine this being the same site that used to go to war for people insisting reverse racism or sexism was a thing and how it's natural for the oppressed to hate their oppressors, now loudly has people saying it's violent for women to be weary of men and doing all but calling women hysterical and then those same people loudly clanging their begging bowl and asking for others to extend the type of understanding they do not extend to women but will wax on about community community community! Misogyny isn't oppression to you people. The only oppression with no oppressors and the target of that oppression just needs to suck it up but please please please donate as it's so dangerous for them not to have shelter because they would be a target, which has nothing in common with what women say or worry about.

Extend understanding to people that don't extend it to me ??? Not with my woman ass money

Starve!

In storm clouds just like these, phantom hunters would appear, riding black horses with blood-red eyes, and wolves and hounds at their side, baying and snarling. What were they hunting? Souls.

""But, look, Slim," I said, "granted all that you say, society still has to cope with the problem of crime somehow. What method other than prison can it use?"

His voice and his face both sobered.

"I don't know, Al," he said. "I don't know at all. All I do know is that prison doesn't protect society, doesn't reduce crime, and doesn't reform the criminal. Prisons are no good."

Before I finished my own stretch in prison I had come to agree with Slim. Prisons are no good. Not unless you are one of those who get some satisfaction out of seeing people punished when they do something wrong, regardless of the ultimate effect on them, on society, and even on yourself.

The immediate and overwhelming impression of prison, and one that continued through my sentence and beyond, was the feeling of humiliation. This is the reality of prison, more even than the all-too-frequent physical brutality, the occasional sadism of prison personnel, or the hopeful but frustrated system of rehabilitation. More than anything else, I think, the convict is infuriated and discouraged by the planned indignities and degradation that are his lot from the moment he gets into the hands of the prison authorities.

Totalitarianism always is characterized by this disregard of the individual human personality. The Nazis, hypnotized by the pagan vision of a world dominated by a pure German Herrenvolk, could find in their dream the justification for the indignities they heaped on millions of helpless humans. The Communists, peddling a more attractive vision of a society in which injustice and oppression would have disappeared, debase their dream and degrade themselves with the delusion that something good can be built on the humiliation and despair of more unhappy millions.

Prison—even an American prison—is fashioned on equally totalitarian lines, and the results in terms of its expressed aims are no less predictably dismal. The prisoner has no rights, but only privileges which may be taken away at the whim of the authorities. In every way the prison authorities can contrive he is deprived of his individuality. He stands in line to get the same drab clothes every other convict wears, which are handed out to him with a minimum of regard for size and condition. His cell must conform to every other cell in its complete sterility; his letters are read, his belongings pawed through every day or so, his movements regulated through the day by bells and whistles and observed by night by a flashlight-carrying guard who periodically peeks through the *'judas-window" of his cell door. That some convicts still manage to evade this all-seeing observation long enough for the final contemptuous gesture of suicide must stand as a tribute to the indomitable ingenuity of man.

...

The best of prisons does not reform or rehabilitate. It punishes, but punishment neither eradicates the original misdeed nor reforms the criminal. Neither does it serve as an effective deterrent, as is evident by the steadily rising rate of crime. It does not deter others from following a criminal career—for the simple reason that no man commits a crime expecting to be caught. Contrary to the highly publicized slogan, moreover, his chances of escaping apprehension are pretty good if he is reasonably intelligent. The jails are full of the unskilled workmen of crime; it is an event when one of the entrepreneurs of the illegal finds himself behind bars.

The institution of prison does take a few criminals out of circulation for varying periods of time, which some people like to call "protecting society." But since in most cases the criminal eventually is released again, equipped with some new prison-acquired skills and motivated by prison-enforced resentment, such "protection" is of doubtful value at best. The stark truth is that if the fundamental consideration is the protection of society against criminals, then the proper treatment is either life imprisonment or execution for every convicted criminal. Since both humanitarian and practical considerations of space and equipment make such a program impracticable, we come back to our original thesis that prison actually serves no useful purpose.

But this is the easier part. Serious students of penology have recognized for some time that prisons are a useless and expensive appendage to the apparatus of the community. Barnes and Teeters, in their authoritative New Horizons in Criminology make clear their own conviction that even the "new prison"—of which Lewisburg is an example—eventually must go, to be replaced by some system of individual treatment. "For some," they write, "advice is all that this treatment or discipline should be; for others, strict supervision, kindly and understanding, may be necessary. . . . Each case will call for some special form of treatment."

It is a good comment and a good direction. Human beings are individuals; they cannot be treated as identical parts of a mass without further complicating the problem. The insights of modern medicine and psychiatry need to be brought extensively into the courtroom; the insights of psychology need to be absorbed and understood by those who deal in any way with the criminal individual.But even these, administered with the best will in the world, will have only a minimum effect until psychiatry and psychology shift their focus from the "criminal personality" to the nature of the community itself, and the values to which it does homage. When these are examined, it becomes plain that the criminal is not so much a deviate from the norm as he is its mildly distorted reflection.

Tolstoi observed that "the criminal justifies his crime," and this continues to be the crucial fact of what we call antisocial behavior. Most of the men who land in prison are neither psychopaths nor schizophrenics. They are cynics. They observe a society in which wealth, the acquisition of things, ranks as the highest value. They are the products of a culture whose chief characteristics, as Margaret Halsey observed in The Folks at Home, are aggressiveness, competitiveness, and skepticism. Overwhelmingly, they come from the part of the community that has come off worst in the socially approved expressions of this competition, so that to their skepticism is added frustration.

The United States marshals who took us to Lewisburg in their car exercised their little graft on our meal on the way out. A guard at the penitentiary endured the unspoken jeers of the inmates when his wife was exposed as a black-market operator. Men who had connections with the underworld could, and did, tell which judges and district attorneys had paid how much for their jobs, and a former procurer was in the interesting position of having been sentenced by a judge who was a regular client of the house for which he worked. Another of my felon-compatriots, convicted of a minor embezzlement, entertained us for one stockade hour with stories of the bribes he had given over a period of ten years on behalf of the company that had preferred charges against him.

These are the facts of life as the "criminal" knows they exist, and they account for his contemptuous scorn for chaplains, parole officers, and every other official manifestation of society's hypocritical self-righteousness. So long as they continue to be the facts of life, they will continue to undermine every well-intentioned new approach to the problem of criminal behavior, even including the "kindly and understanding" individual treatment.

The problem of prison is indissolubly bound up with the morality of the culture of which it is a part. The criminal is our own reflection, staring out at us from the mirror of our own desires and ambitions. Our humanity drives us reluctantly to eradicate the more brutal aspects of prison life, and to make conditions inside the prison more tolerable for the wretches confined in them. But the problem of crime will not be affected seriously until we tackle it in our own lives, and put into our relations with all men the only thing that will work with any of them: love and forgiveness."

you're at least the fourth person on tumblr i've seen express disdain for emerald fennell doing wuthering heights? what she done to hurt all the tumblr girlies? i'm asking as i really don't have an opinion on her.

HA okay i had to find the last ask i got about this because i have longstanding beef with her

BASICALLY the tl;dr is that she's an awful writer that values style over substance to the detriment of substance. she thinks shock value and twists make up for her lack of intellect (she is dumb as a box of hammers imco) and depth of narrative.

she's also ragingly classist (see: saltburn) and sexist (promising young woman). and thinking of the classist/racist crimes she's going to commit against heathcliff literally makes me shudder. it's going to be bad.

I really need to be cleaning my room but. fanfiction I'd write if I had time but I Do Not

There are several ghiralink fic storylines that are along the lines of "Link gets exactly what he thinks he wants and turns out it isn't really what he needs" (whether real or a dream-state) that have him taking Ghirahim's sword and gaining complete control over him and the themes are of personhood and power and complacency. be careful what you wish for type things. A few that are Ghirahim killing Link/Link losing and realizing he would rather have him alive and fighting instead of dead/given up because it was more fun than way, but usually end up being sad. oh well I guess for the former and teaming up with Link to defeat Demise for the latter.

What I want to write is the themes of scenario 1 but role reversed so it's like scenario 2 with Ghirahim having the "this isn't what I wanted" moment. Ghiralink adds, usually as a joke, a level of "if I can't kill you, maybe you could join me ;)" and I want to write more or less Link doing that, Link being a perfect subservient extension that does everything he wants him to and he doesn't regret it (he can't), but Ghirahim having the realization that he doesn't want someone who is nothing more than an object for him to use. A doll. A sword.

And then, how Link has guilt over Fi and the Master Sword and his role as hero and how Hylia controls him but he's no better than her, Ghirahim realizing Link is now what he is to Demise and rethinking his own position. Is this what Demise thinks of me. Is that why he treats me the way he does. And he takes his anger out on Link but Link can't fight back anymore. Link doesn't want to fight back anymore, and not in a depressed it's hopeless kind of way, but in the same way Ghirahim accepted Demise pulling the sword out of his chest.

When Ghirahim is empty and goes isn't this what you wanted, Link can genuinely say no because he has a hero's heart and conscience and never meant for anyone to get hurt. When Link goes I am what you made me, Ghirahim has to face that fact that yes, he is, and he is made in my image, and I do not want this anymore.

Hi gay people in my phone I'm thinking about how Lip has lines like "like my life isn't a complete fucking waste" and "I don't know how to be with myself" and "how am I supposed to make it?". And him struggling with the death of his friend, and him struggling with everything with Karen, and him getting raped by his girlfriend, and him getting sexually assaulted multiple times in the show. there being lines about how alcoholism isn't his problem it's the other stuff going on with him. The sudden, violent snippets we see of Lip's childhood trauma snap back up to the surface while he fails to cope with them. how he is always in the caretaking role.

just, how every time he's at his lowest, we never see his family find out about it. they don't know what Mandy did to Karen. What Mandy did to him. They don't know the insane dynamics between Lip and both his professors. Or when he got black out drunk and broke into a house. They never knew he was put in jail because they never answered his phone call. Or that time Lip was homeless and sleeping on the L. Him getting drunk and getting beat up to cope with everything. We see him barely functioning again and again and again. the show says says all of this and then goes "he needs to get out of his way 😘🫶💫" as the final parting words on his character.

Oooh, can you talk about the meta reason you rewrote the blizzard holly relationship and blackstar's backstory?

HOKAY

But I'm gonna preface this one; I hate Blackfoot's Reckoning. I think it's one of the most "solid" written books in the series and I still fucking hate it. I talk about authoritarianism on this blog a lot, and I think BFR was the one time that the series actually tried to textually address what they'd put on the page.

So TW for fascism, including discussion of an incredibly unfortunate quote from the book that is either an accidental or purposeful invocation of the Nuremberg Defense.

Blackfoot's Reckoning is a book that's supposed to delve into Blackfoot's backstory, what made him the cat he was during TPB. Throughout the book they're questioning, "what made him act the way he did?" And trying to drive home that Blackfoot needs to learn from his mistakes so that he doesn't repeat them

But, at the same time, they cling to their slimy Good and Evil dichotomy. So the book decides that Blackstar wasn't an Evil cat, no, he was just a Good Mislead Boy Who Loved His Clan. He's constantly lied to, mislead, people are murdered and he's duped into believing whoever gets framed, suppressing critical thought about his actions. They're trying to both write a "reckoning," but also make his motivations more sympathetic.

So in between questions of, "Is Blackstar really a Bad Boy?" and happy rewards for Blackstar when he goes through a memory, they've decided to shove in replays of Blackstar's most gruesome moments but this time he frowns :( and feels Guilty when he does them. In the eyes of the writers, if you feel sad doing hate crimes, that means there's a goodness inside of you actually.

And just like Clear Sky, all Blackstar "needed" was divine intervention. You can simply retcon in a "reckoning," even if it was never in the main series for the 10+ years the character was alive and active.

But it's not enough that Blackstar himself was getting a stupid retcondemption. No, see, they have to remind you that he was following evil people. The dichotomy inherently crunches away the nuance-- Good and Evil are inherent qualities. Tigerstar and Brokenstar are Evil People. Blackstar asks, "If I was following Evil People, what does that make me?"

The narrative concludes, "A Good Person, but mislead."

And because they can't have nuance with their Good and Evil dichotomy (or couldn't at the time), they failed to address the authoritarianism spectacularly. Think I'm reaching?

They literally wrote the Nuremberg Defense into their book. I'm not doing hyperbole, Blackstar word-for-word thinks the Nuremberg Defense, "I Was Just Following Orders," but then they bury it in a barrage of scenes showing he's Actually A Nice Guy who is Sad to do Bad Things. Either they attempted and failed to do something more meaningful with this book, OR they are so fucking stupid they accidentally included the famous Nazi officer legal defense for a character who DOES A HATE CRIME for a racist dictator.

What was IN TPB was a Blackstar who supported a massacre and expulsion against another group, was complicit in the use of child soldiers, and rehearsed a public execution for a mixed-race character. Like it or not, this is a really heavy subject... and what they decided to do was downplay every one of his actions, because he was good deep down.

And I just find that disgusting. This was ABSOLUTELY the wrong conclusion. They can't show Blackstar ACTUALLY being bigoted. They can't delve into REAL hate, or the idea that maybe he LIKED the power he had over people. Those are Evil People Things. He has to "know," deep down, that what he's doing is wrong.

He cannot have a real change, in spite of the title of the shitty book being Blackfoot's "RECKONING," because he is not bad to begin with.

So, Hollyflower and Blizzardwing.

To recap for everyone who didn't read BFR; Hollyflower is raising her three kits alone because Blizzardwing cheated on Featherstorm with her. Black only learns that he is an accident because he stayed up late one night and overheard an argument. By day, he gets bullied by Clawpaw specifically that he might be mixed-Clan and has to seethe over the truth he knows.

it's dumb. I'm sorry. This is dumb and boring, which is even worse

The war criminal was bullied as a child and that's why he did bad things :( He was good all along he was just sad :( shut up shut up shut up

The "bad environment" he was raised into was... having a single mom and being suspected of maybe being half-clan, but then learning that he isn't half-clan, and being indignant that he can't just share the information he knows about because it would make things complicated or something idk

None of this particularly contributes to his mindset as an adult because he does not HAVE a unique mindset as an adult.

He was just nebulously Sad and followed whatever strongman leader came along, constantly being tricked and bamboozled by outright lies.

"Omg WindClan killed Raggedstar >:0 ??? Oughhhhh that butters my biscuits... was it wrong that Brokenstar sent my baby nephew to battle? No, nevermind that thought that makes me uncomfortable :("

He never has any particular bigotries that were exploited, he was just tricked and mislead the entire time, while also being sad, because God Forbid Blackstar ever have been an 'evil cat'

He gets THANKED by his dead parents for keeping the secret??????????????????? girl ok.....

as usual the bully itself never really gets addressed

It was cheap and easy to just make Blackfoot's backstory the same shitty 'bullying' they write for most villains. This bullying is how he ends up bonding with Brokenkit, a villainous 5-year-old who says, "other cats don't matter" because he's eeeeeevil.

They're supposed to have a commonality connection, Blackstar who is Good Deep Down and Brokenstar who is Evil Deep Down, and that is supposed to serve as the reason why Blackstar willingly blinds himself to the incredibly obviously evil things that his superiors do.

His flaw isn't that he had bad intentions, it's that he didn't think.

FUCK that. FUCK this book. FUCK the Erins for trying to say that there are fundamentally good and bad people. That with the death of Tigerstar, of Brokenstar, of whoever, the society gets to return to 'peace' because now there's no Evil Tyrant to lead everyone astray.

The Erin's depictions of hard childhoods are sauceless. Dry, unbuttered, burnt bread. You want to see a BAD home environment? I'll SHOW you a bad home environment, not just a single teenager being rude. You wanna see the sorts of conditions that prime young people to joining radical causes for a sense of belonging? I'll GIVE you those conditions. Let's TALK about what bounces around in the head of people who aid and abet tyrants.

It's not this dumb ass sadboy shit I'll tell you that much

[mymarifae]

that was a bizarre way to end off this first part of the new patch . idm cliffhangers at all but this isn't even a cliffhanger it's like... an extremely abrupt cut-off. too many high tension high stakes things happened in too short of a time frame for them to go the "black screen summary of things returning to a sense of normalcy until next update ^^" route. this update would have benefited from being a little longer - at least until the next natural lull in events. hell they could have just shown stelle, dan heng, and hanya reconvening immediately after that final cutscene. seeing that conversation, even if it ended up on the brief and stiff side, and then getting the "to be continued" pop-up would have felt better than the black screen just Telling Me what happened in the most undetailed manner possible

THAT ASIDE. the 2.4 patch is fun so far :) i'm enjoying it!!!!!! yunli is adorable (and a BRAT omfg i loooooove her), feixiao fucking rules i cannot wait to see more of her, jiaoqiu is pretty cool i like him, moze
