If somebody hurts people, how do I stop them from doing it again? They won't stay dead if I kill them.

[This isn't doppelganger!Beth, but one could be forgiven for mistaking it for her--if one knew who was texting, anyway. She does her best to disguise herself (look at all those capital letters! that single question mark!), then posts it from a different location than usual, just in case.]

Just lock them up. Isn't that what prisons are for?

[littlemissfutility]

Do imPorts ever go to prison?

[granddevil]

No one is saying it has to be an official prison. [ ryo NO ]

[littlemissfutility]

How?

[wronganswer]

Yeah, it's an issue.

Is there someone in specific you're thinking of?

[littlemissfutility]

The problem's the same no matter who it is, right?

[wronganswer]

Do you want to kill them or do you want to stop them? It's not even remotely the same.

Some people can't be stopped. It sucks. I'm sorry.

[littlemissfutility]

We can't just let them do what they want.

[am_i_a_monster]

You said you can't kill them.

Why are they hurting people?

there's no permanent solution.

killing and burying might work for a while, but if the porter ports them out and back in again, they'll be right back in cape canaveral

[littlemissfutility]

There has to be something. As long as no one makes them face consequences, they'll do whatever they want.

[flightforfreedom]

there's prison. power nullification.

but the sentences are basically a joke.

There is little to do with an imPort who has evil in their heart. Hearts rarely change of their own accord. They will receive a slap on the wrist, if anything.

[littlemissfutility]

Then there's nothing to stop them from doing it again and again.

We can't just accept that. There has to be something we can do.

[fauxmarth]

It's a tough thing to say, especially considering those circumstances...
Are they beyond reason still? Is there yet hope? One would always want to find a way to bring them back from dark ways...

[littlemissfutility]

I don't know.

People like that don't usually want to change. I've never met one that did.

Sometimes, you can't. Sometimes, people do shitty things and get away with them because society rewards the assholes over the nice guys.

[littlemissfutility]

[>:|]

Then society needs to stop rewarding them. And I'm part of society.

So I'll stop.

I don't want to say his name. Then he'll know I'm going to do something about him.
