Tomorrow marks the beginning of the trials for those who participated against their will in the Wittgenstein sanctioned "Hunger Games." We all lost friends, loved ones, soldiers and family to the senselessness of this scenario. Now, we're left to navigate those feelings of loss and unfairness. We're left contemplating what justice means, and how we're going to obtain it.
In the United States, our military holds its own trials because of the circumstances of combat, of life and death, and what is acceptable under those circumstances is unique. I believe that we cannot look at the crimes of the accused without a similar context, we cannot decide based only on what we saw in the broadcasts on the guilt or innocence of anyone. When laws are considered absolute, there is no justice. So many of us here have lives which are exercises in exceptions -- there are plenty of people here who have done objectively terrible things for the right reasons. There are some of us here who've done things we aren't proud of because it ensured the survival of ourselves or the people that we care about. All of that is worth taking into consideration.
