I understand how dangerous a precedent this would be when applied to any of the many terrible political reasons people do things for, but frankly, the way climate change is going, I think we're at the point where if people don't start exceeding their authority very fast the legal system is going to become a suicide pact.

Frankly, if the law says that it's not okay to try to prevent your extermination, the law can get fucked, and anybody in a position to prevent the law from getting us killed has an obligation to do so. In the majority of cases, I would probably agree with the principle, but even then seven weeks is ridiculous.

This situation actually happened to some friends mine. Except it wasn’t revenge, it just kind of happened.

Both couples were good friends with one another, there was an affair between two of the partners in the relationship, very messy breakup, etc etc. The cheating partners both moved out and eventually got married. In the aftermath, the non-cheating partners ended up together.
