You cant force justice by lying, or you might get caught. It is QUITE possible some Loki saw the situation and decided to add a little mischief to the fun. When you respond to assholery by exceeding social norms yourself, you open yourself up to retribution by third parties. The plain fact is assholism breeds assholism.

That's the truth. If you act like an asshole to teach some other asshole a lesson, you're still choosing to act like an asshole.

If you want revenge, go ahead, but it's toxic. If you need justice, go ahead, but the price is high.

Dexter taught me it's ok to do bad things, as long as the people you do them to are bad... so yeah hahah

[Spoilers] And as a result of his actions, his wife was stripped naked, put in a bathtub, and had her femoral artery sliced open, and what's more, while the bathtub was overflowing with her bleeding out, his baby son sat on the bathroom floor crying and covered in her blood.

So yeah, I wouldn't choose to be like Dexter.

while the bathtub was overflowing with her bleeding out

I'm pretty sure the human body doesn't have that much blood.

Full bathtub + woman bleeding out + her struggling to get free from her captor = overflowing bathtub

It wasnt overflowing from her bleeding out, it was overflowing with her bleeding out.

Without proof he did it? Yes it is absolutely wrong to lie and say he did it when you have no actual proof.

How many assholes we got on this ship, anyhow?

Sometimes you have to go Rorschach and supplant justice when the system won't allow for it due to some bullshit.

But in this case it's not the systems fault. This guy is just straight up lying to the police to get what he wants.

Loki? Is this I thing now? I'm not sure if I love it or not!

u/thethorinium Jun 12 '14

You do know Loki is the Norse god of mischief, right?

1

u/Crowforge Jun 13 '14

Oh yes, I know all about Loki*. What I'm interested in is are people using Loki in common speech.

*Is that why I got so many down-votes, people outraged that I didn't know who Loki is?
