PUNISHER #3's Moral Dilemma—Reversed
(6/14/01)


A response to PUNISHER #3's Moral Dilemma—Reversed:

I'd put as many bullets in his head as I humanly could before I was shot to death by the cops. At least I can die knowing that I made an effort.

However, on the flip side, if I gave up and went to prison, I could have myself quite a field day slaughtering the countless murderes, rapists, child molesters, wife beaters, and drug dealers who may be set free to commit more heinous crimes, if I was put into "the system."

To (mis)quote Rorshach, who I believe said it the best: "I'm not locked in here with all of you, you're locked in here with me!"

<<Good luck with your answer.>>

Come up with something that requires luck. As for now, I don't need any.

I don't know about the last time Frank was in prison, but he didn't do that the first time he was in prison (in the Zeck mini-series). Prison officials aren't totally incompetent, you know. And with Frank's decade-long crusade against criminals, I think he'd qualify for the Vault or wherever they keep supervillains these days. He's at least as dangerous as a villain like the Stilt-Man or the Owl—if not much more dangerous.

You don't need luck with your answer. Since you'd kill the criminal, you're dead as well. Your vigilante crusade is over and good riddance to it. By the way, because you committed suicide (somewhat like Thunderbird did), drug dealers just killed another innocent family like yours in Central Park. You could've stopped them if you were alive and free. But you're dead, so I guess you don't care.
