META MEDIA: August 28th CNN: Meta Murder Trial [ty loren for the suggestion] A 19 year old beta-class male meta, whose identity cannot be released at this time, has been held for trial after the death of two civilians. While exact details are yet to emerge, police has confirmed that as the beta, with the ability to cause paralysis in whomever he touches, removed his gloves at the time of contact, it can be argued that intent was present... HUFFINGTON POST: Bernie Sanders: “Metahuman Lives Matter” “In the same way that we have to come to terms with some hard truths about race and justice in America, we also have to examine how currently our citizens are incarcerated in facilities when in many cases, they haven’t committed what would be classed as a crime in a regular justice system.” Sanders cited how the United States has only 5% of the world’s global population, yet 25% of its prison population, and noted that its legislature for the treatment of its metahuman community involved more stringent measures than those of many EU countries, including the United Kingdom and Germany...

However, this act of heroism outed the girl as a metahuman and has led to her placed in protective custody, as consistent with Singapore’s metahuman legislature. While local authorities praised the girl’s courageous actions, they added that there could be no exceptions and that without proper training, the girl’s powers (unconfirmed as super strength) could be a risk to others. Singapore’s metahuman policies are more stringent that the US, but not as strict as elsewhere in Southeast Asia. “Families can visit their parents or siblings in protective custody between 7 am and 7 pm,” states Teo Yu Shin. “Being an island community, we are fortunate in that way.” BUZZFEED: The Woman in Black: Who exactly is Shade?
