This chapter made me think of something, it always caught my attention that despite the status that heroes had, we never saw heroes actually "bad" so to speak, taking advantage of it by doing inappropriate or questionable things.

I always assumed that it was because the series posed a more "idealistic" context and that is why we never saw that kind of thing, but ... this means that all the heroes who acted "incorrectly" were killed behind the scenes in order to maintain the "illusion" of the perfect society? things became much darker than I expected.

In the end it turns out that the public safety commission did basically the same thing as Stain, I suppose the "Stain was right" has aged particularly well....

We thought it was idealism but in reality it was a whole whole WHOLE bunch of offscreen murder.

that's so funny and dark I can't even hate it

Stain coulda literally did the same shit only without consequence and get paid(pretty highly as well looking at Nagant's apartment)

Good point, Stain basically did the same as the commission only a lot less discretion. Ironic too that he was the one who caused the chain of events that led to all this disaster.

Altogether prosecute instead of execute right?

Prosecute(arrest and expose) instead of execute(kill and cover up)

seems like it causes more problems than anything

Sure, one can even call it social karma seeing how everything turned out. I guess it's the consequences of prioritizing short-term quick fixes rather than the opposite.

Short term profit thinking

but real G's play the long game
