[news broadcast]

Jake: Hello, this is Jake Bardfellow, and your watching NNN, the Neonic News Network.
Today, over 3,000 protesters gathered in the Imperial Square to protest the Inquisition, stating it is killing not just heretics, but innocents.
The protest was organized by Jaque De'claw, a camera-man for NNN. This video is what turned him agianst the inquisition. Note, this video is not appropiate for children:

[the camera is pointed at a teenager girl, pregnent, being interviwed by a reporter]

Reporter: "People all over have been inspired by your art. But has your recent pregnency affected it?"

Girl: "Well, for a while I was very happy, and I painted alot more pictures. But after the Inquisition killed my boyfriend, I went into depression. But I'm bet..."

[a loud crack is heard, and the camera points to the door. The door has been knocked down, and soldiers in red step through the threshold]

Girl: "What the hell!?"

Soldier: "Sarah Tanner, you have been found guilty of being a heretic."

Girl: "What the fuck do you mean?!?"

Soldier: "Men, her shirt."

[two soldiers rip the tenn's shirt off, exposing the red, hertical symbol on her arm}

Soldier: "The symbol of a heretic. Men, kill her."

Girl: "But my boyfriend told me it stood for love! No, please!"

[the teenager is shot dead]



Jake: "No one was hurt during the protest. The protesters demand that Emp. Ryo-Tan disband the inquisition, and that a new patriarch will be put on the Holy Seat.
The Emperor made no comment."

Shooting a teenager? outrageous!

Excerpt from the Inquisitor's Holy Guidebook:

"...and cleanse any who are heretics, no matter age, race (the list goes on), ect. for it is thier only hope of ever seeking redemption."

Excerpt from the Inquisitor's Holy Guidebook:

"...and cleanse any who are heretics, no matter age, race (the list goes on), ect. for it is thier only hope of ever seeking redemption." We do not follow, or even recognize this Guidebook, we have no Inquisition, and we will never have one.

Of course, as this guidebook was written 3 years ago, and the inquisition is only in Neo Earth, and her colonies.

We being a fair republic,at least give those who are charged a trial by jury.Was this part of the interview ever aired?At least give the women the decency to not be a public execution

From our constitution:



VII: Admenments
Heretics are exempt from these freedoms

2. All have the right to a fair trial

note the bold.
