So, you want to equivocate people who are law-breakers to those who pursue and bring lawbreakers to justice?
No. I'm equivocating one fictional character with another.
You have an extremely flawed set of logic skills, but your ability to rationalize your insane thoughts is highly developed, making you an excellent candidate for psychological help.
Why are you making this thread about me? You don't like what I wrote, then disagree. State why you disagree in story and character terms.
But your personal feelings about me, my logic skills or whether you believe I - a perfect stranger whom you've not only never laid eyes on you have never communicated with outside of the posts on the bulletin boards of this website - need psychological help are irrelevant to not only the topic under discussion, this board, but also this website as a whole.
I don't trust people who don't like pets and I don't trust people who pets don't like.

"Fictional characters"? Your deflection skills are well-honed too, I see.
What you write says a lot about who you are.

LOL! I usually just lurk on these boards, but I had to post something after viewing this thread. I completely agree with your response to the thread's question. I'm not quite understanding why some of these comments are expecting this traditional hero vs. villain plot line that's been beaten to death. They're all flawed characters... like all human beings. Yes, they're consistently engaging in illegal activity, but that doesn't make them "villains" or unworthy of sympathy or respect. Personally, I see a primary theme of survival, not this good vs. evil BS. They're not wallowing in self-pity and wondering "Why is this happening to me?!" They acknowledge the choices that they've made, and they're simply trying to make the best of the consequences.
I feel like some people genuinely believe that everyone has the same opportunities to accept or refuse "bad" choices or that "doing the right thing" is universally recognizable/easily accepted. These characters have been dealt a hand in life that often blurs this distinction. They're desperately trying to give their loved ones a life worth living, like we all strive for, while also trying to stay alive at the same time. It's risky business, but for many of these characters, it's the only opportunity they have to sustain in this world.
On a side note, I admire the way you handled the unsolicited psychoanalysis from a complete stranger. Haha! Some people...

Because they've been raised by tv for morons and the American idea that there is such a thing as Good and Evil, and Heroes and Villains.
