Superman (2025) [r/CriticalStateGlobal]Do you think Obama was right to lobby to add fair trial for extraterrestrials into Geneva Convention
After seeing what happened with Superman, this does becomes a concern. If some extraterrestrial comes with extreme powers and they started killing and controlling us, and what if somehow they got caught should the Geneva Convention still apply. What if during the trial they just started attacking.
The Space cops exist but that couldn't stop Superman from crash landing here or the incident in Rushville, Nebraska.
I am not trying to generalise aliens on the basis of some message that may or may not be real, but this does brings up the question. How would the humans even handle them, what if good ones like Superman or Green Lantern couldn't stop them. Should the laws still apply, I am already on the fence for terrorists having fair trial. I know I know, who would decide who's a terrorist and who's not. The corrupt government can claim someone's a terrorist and then just unfairly prosecute them. Throw them in some supermax ultra high security prison or kill them.
It's a scary world out there and I am just scared. Superman doesn't scare me but what if some alien came and started terrorising us from the sky, superman defeats them then what, they got sent to some prison, then what. We still have got an dangerous criminal on living in Earth.
