Endtown 2017-06-23

This week, in Endtown...

...

Today's strip.

Damn it, Grout.

Well she did murder someone. Though it would be sort of ironic if after all this she gets the death penalty for it.

I honestly was expecting her to jump considering this is Endtown we're reading. It's a surprise whenever someone DOESN'T lose their mind and off themselves every 3-4 strips.

I guess Walt really has the golden tongue for the women.

>Well she did murder someone.
It was self defense seeing as the guy fully intended to hurt her.

Where are my homboys the topsiders.

HUMAN PRIDE WORLDWIDE

That other jackass should man up and admit his friend was going to hurt her because if he testifies against her then he better die too.

nah man, he was a good wolf, he dinndu nuffin

Top kek, mutie rekt

Walt is still one of the very few consistently likeable characters left in this story. Grout is just another asshole.

Even "just doing my job", this is not the correct way to do this at fucking all. In before they throw her in the same cell as some wolves.

>In before they throw her in the same cell as some wolves.
You'd think that be TOO stupid but considering his track record...

It's a little late but I might as well post this

He's already a Jackass. I wouldn't put it past him.

It's been too damn long since I drew me some Topsiders.

It's been too damn long since these threads have seen some real activity.

I know we've seen the Topsiders go after the anthro mutants, but they also have to kill the eatbeasts that make up the vast majority of the mutants. Those fuckers can be multiple stories tall, live underground, have wire thin tentacles or any other combination of features that make the bobbit worm look down right friendly in comparison.

Thanks. I've got to come up with a reason there's a banana peel in Endtown.

Man, fuck Grout. I feel like all the strips up to this point have been to show just how lousy a police chief he is and a shitty person overall.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's been Marx all along doing this shit on purpose.

Seriously, he's repeatedly reacted with blaise negligence and apathy to goddang everything lately. He totally doesn't give a shit about anyone or anything, treating this all like a massive chore he'd rather pass off. I mean shit this is Endtown but people are dying IN the town and no one is calling him out for it.

Do they even have the death penalty in Endtown? Worst I could see them do is banishment to the surface......which is basically a death penalty for most of the mutants.

Grout has seems to have always passed off responsibility from himself to another while keeping an air of authority. The first thing when given his position is to order his men to get down Algood after his lynching and he could even do that right.

Jesus, I forgot Holly saw Allgood's corpse hanging there like a pinata. No wonder why she wanted to leave so badly.

This would also just be the cheapest way to do it when resources such as they are.

This comic used to be so good.

It's still good.....oh you must be a Holly fag.
Still bitching about your waifu 6 months later?

Why are you trying to start shit?

regardless of his intent, assumed as hard as it may be, she jumped him without altercation, without warning. she straight murdered that wolf.

Self defense is a legal means to excuse lethal action against an aggressive party, though that wolf hadn't engaged Heather. She lay in wait and bricked him from behind. Legally that's a horse of a different color.

The best she can argue is guilty by temporary insanity, which is supplemented by her suicide threat before being cuffed.

>regardless of his intent, assumed as hard as it may be, she jumped him without altercation, without warning. she straight murdered that wolf.
She was less than a block away, on a quite street, listening to someone who then tried to corner her in an alley who has just been attacked by wolves not but a few weeks earlier, makes the whole self deference plea a lot more viable.

He was following her to ambush her, then she noticed him following her and ambushed him first.

It's a mess, but if she genuinely feared for her life and didn't have an avenue of escape, self-defense doesn't seem like it'd be off the table entirely, particularly given the recent situation she (and wolf citizens) have been in.

It's a mess.

no screams, no cry for help, the only thing heard by the frog guy was the sounds of a skull getting smashed in by a rock. being the reader we got insight from the previous page, seeing her attack was premeditated from an advantage point. self-defense is only viable if you are the victim in the given situation, any predispositions held between the parties involved notwithstanding.

Considering that she's already been assaulted by wolves and has to have a police escort to protect her from wolves, and then her business is burned down by wolves, which even the fire department ruled it was an arson by wolves, and then is pursed by a known assailant that was never fully persecuted, means that she has an airtight case, but this being Endtown means she's screwed.

>all these past instances gives me the right to luer and ambush/kill someone I was well aware of

nope.

Yeah it really went to shit fast.

Really surprised she didn't jump. The last comic ended with a 'it looks like she might not jump' kinda way

So naturally, I assumed Aaron would pull a psyche! and kill her off. That said, jail was a pretty unexpected thing (even if it shouldn't be)

Rarely does following a woman into a dark ally to "get a taste of justice" does not justifiably end up in a brick to the head.

Apparently Aaron can't into lawyerings so it's I wouldn't be surprised if that's not how it works in Endtown. I went mildly autist when they said a bunch of wolves chasing pig girl wasn't assault.

>ruled by arson by wolves
What? They found a burnt wolf corpse and evidence of gasoline on the premises. It's clearly arson but they can't logically tell who set the fire and Heather had been inside her laundry when the riot started. From an outsider perspective the owner of the laundry had a wolf corpse inside her destroyed business and physically brutalized another wolf. This started from an original assault on a female wolf which resulted in incidental mutilation of another customer in her shop.

It's suspicious

his intentions are mute if she led him into a trap

*moot

And are you being dense on purpose?

>incidental mutilation of another customer in her shop
Heather wasn't the one who threw a trashcan through the window.

No one could prove it was a trap. All they know is that the wolf followed her into the alley, which doesn't exactly 'scream innocent intentions'

Her lack of screaming is something but it doesn't prove anything. She could just claim she's not a screamer

Heather is a laundress, and there is no reason to think she is anything but seeing how her assault on wolf bitch never went reported. Hell, the wolves threw a police officer through a windshield. Why wouldn't they burn a building down.

I don't think they would risk banishing someone who might narc on Endtown's location. Having scavengers out there is risky enough.

for using the wrong term? No. for seeing a difference between self defense and premeditated murder? also no.

no one could also prove he followed her besides his friend, otherwise it's hearsay. if she said she knew he was following her then it would bring into question why she ducked into an ally, also not a safe place to be for a lone distraught woman to be.

But how could she lure him into a trap, if he was not out to attack her?

If she lured him into a trap, what possible innocent motivation could there be for him following her into an alley?

And she could claim she was trying to lose him, accidentally made a wrong turn, and then picked up the nearest object to defend herself

again, his intentions, hostile or not, cannot justify self-defense if not acted out let alone revealed to her. she would have to take it on assumption. and we (the reader) saw action taken by her with no altercation to justify it. he walked down the ally, turned a corner, was attacked.

and this took place next to an apparent complex, her options were plenty.

I'm not saying she's not guilty (as you said, we the readers know she attacked him first), I'm just saying, you'd have a difficult time proving it in court. I don't think it'd be too much of a stretch for her to claim she wasn't clearly considering all of her options given the events that took place that day and that she went to defend herself rather than crying for help. Especially considering the 'help' she's been given so far hasn't been that effective

She's got Walt on her side and I'd think the whole police force given the riot

fair enough. but to add an extra level, we never actually saw her herself attack him. possible third party.

I'd really love to see a day in the life of a topsider.

Sure, remind her of how humanity turned itself to dust. That'll make her want to stay.
