well
imagine this
all your life you have done what you believe in, what people have told you was right
you did it so well that you got a TV show and people adored you
so, now that some psycho, who should have been in jail years ago, goes nuts when you try to bring him in (in the way you always have) and the entire public you swore to defend, the very people who you risked you life for, are willing to string you up as a scapegoat to allow a piece of legislation through the courts.
Speedball is probably the only charater i really am liking in this story, the whole frontline arc actually is phenominal. Deciding to go to the supreme court in his old costume, that was priceless.
Honestly, I think he represents the only logical side in the whole debate. Crazy evil people kill children, not superheroes. I bet in the MU right now, Speedball is more hated than the Red Skull, how messed up is that?

First off, he went to speak in front of Congress, not the supreme court
Second, Frontline sucks, expecially the last pages of every issue. They make me want to punch Paul Jenkins
eh, i like frontline....it is sorta more intresting then everything else sometimes....like looking back in to the past and comparing it to the present...but then again this isn't about FL, it's about Speedball
he is in some way guilty, but not in the vast form people are putting him up to be, i mean...they want to pin 600 (and 4) murders on him..double u tee eff, people?
he better survive that dam gunshot 😐

Even so, Speedball deserved to be jailed for being such a dick about all of thisSeriously, he played a part in it, you would think he would share some sympathy
He's never said he wasnt sympathetic. He just wont take the blame, which is fair.
Whereas his civil rights are being extremely violated and hes being imprisoned for something he did BEFORE the act came in, which is blatantly wrong.
You dont send someone to jail for being a dick.

whoops, ya, congress
Supreme court would have made too much sense for a legal case
I agree with you on the last page stuff, I stopped reading it when they compared the marvel civil war to WW2, I mean really, has it been so long that we can no longer seperate a minor tiff over legeslation from the most important conflict in the history of the free world?
seriously!
SERIOUSLY!

see, i think he may have some blame, and the best place for this to be addressed would be in a civil case brought against him by the parents. I don't think he is 100% innocent, though I would push the "product of an overindulgent and irrational society" thing
however, we do agree, he shouldn't be in jail

True 😬
Is it just me or is Civil War getting a little sidetracked with it's connections to current events?
I mean is the N-Zone prison supposed to represent Guantanamo Bay?!?
Yet Guantanamo Bay is a prison for non-American citizens who have been convicted of terrorism and even they have started getting military trials, where in the MU American Citizens are imprisoned without trial

How could he possibly be charged with murder/manslaughter?
we have a society that likes to reduce it's responsability for it's actions through blaming circumstances.
Speedball is responsable, because he was the catalyst for the situation, not nitro.
I hear you man!
Freedom comes with responsability!
