You mean the literal devil, who assaulted fellow imPorts, acknowledged himself to be dangerous and uncontrollable, and who could hurt someone again at any moment?
He's no longer being held. [She says, with the grinding of teeth.]
That literal devil. That I really don't want to have to advocate for, but apparently you were holding him with no charges? I mean, I don't really want to be put in the position of defending the fucking devil's right to a speedy and fair hearing, but here I am.
Spare me the judgment. We're in the middle of a war. He had just near-fatally assaulted two imPorts and admitted himself that he lost control. You want me to turn that menace loose on the streets? Bullshit.
Last I checked, he spent the past summer trying to usher in the god damned apocalypse. So it seems to me we have quite a bit more leeway before we're as bad as he is.
This is why politicians piss me off. Never the courage to actually accomplish what needs doing. If you hadn't noticed, there's a war and my attention is divided.
But, as I've said, we're not holding him anymore. Or did you miss that?
Excuse me? I don't have a paramilitary group ready to defend me if I break the law.
I don't care if your attention is divided. My job is to make sure we stay in the government -- and the general populace's good graces -- I'm not saying don't arrest him, I'm saying just fucking charge him next time you bring him in for killing someone. It'll make all of our lives easier.

Which, again, is irrelevant, because he is no longer being held.

And what indication did you get that we needed to hold someone illegally? I mean -- I fucking get it -- it's the fucking devil, but...
When we do as poorly as he would, that might be a problem.

I expect you to try him, and and bring charges against him. It's illegal to hold someone without charging them.
And believe me, I want him put away for good -- but we can't do that if we're holding him illegally.
