View Full Version : [PR] If Rangers Do things For a Good Reason, They're Still Doing Those Things
Question
02-28-2009, 10:38 PM
I've been noticing this trend in PR debate lately, wherein people think that because a Ranger did something, it's not a crime, or something.
Andros murdered Zordon. No two ways about it. He may have had nothing but the best of intentions, but the road to Hell is paved with yada yada yada. Depending on the political climate in the PRU, I'd even go so far as to call that a war crime. If I murder Obama because Al Quaida said they'd attack the US en masse if I didn't, and Obama even gave me permission, I still committed a crime.
Will was a thief. He stole things. Fine, he stole things back for his employers, but he still stole. You could even take out the italicized parts of that last sentence and it'd still make sense.
Don't believe me? It's a game!
I'm not here to argue about those, though. You're not going to change my mind, and if I haven't already, I'm probably not going to change yours.
This is the point: what other things have Rangers done that nobody seems to persecute them for, when regular people would be hated and/or arrested for them on the spot? I'm making a list.

I'm not gonna go into the Will thing because that's just full of craziness. However, the Zordon thing is... different.
Let's just say that the President/Leader/Lawmaker says to kill someone because it'd save an entire nation. Now, murder is a crime, yes, but after the deed is done, the President gives you a pardon because you've just saved millions and millions of people. Yes, the killing is still a crime, but it was waved as a matter of national security.
Now, with the Zordon thing, you have the above scenario on a much greater scale. It would have been the universe instead of a nation and billions/trillions of beings instead of millions of people. Zordon told Andros to kill him for the greater good and basically pardoned him for the act. It was a matter of universal security and quite possibly the only way to save the universe. Killing Zordon, while morally wrong in a sense, was basically the right thing to do.
It's basically the means to an end.

I would laugh if they had a power rangers episode where they would get arrested for doing something. Or if they got arrested for the large amount of damage they do to the city they are inhabiting with their Zords.

I bet their was probably another way around it but they didn't have time to think.
As for killing Zordon that is just a burden that Andros must bare. As true heros try save everyone they also have to make the hard descisions to help the greater good.
Well if there was a powerful enough police force, the Power Rangers would probably be arrested for being vigilantes. Also, it seems rather amusing to me that the Power Rangers are supposed to be gaurdians of the people of Earth yet they put buildings full of people in danger with every zord battle that takes place in the middle of their city.

Assisted suicide is murder. It doesn't matter if the person wants to die, you still killed them.

Andros is evil. We actually saw a dubbed version. What they were really saying was:
Andros:Haha! I'm gonna kill you now Zordon!
Zordon:ANDROS NOOO!!!!!!
Andros:Ahahahaha!
Ecliptor:BUT I JUST WANTED TO SEE IF THE HUMANS HAD TOILET ROLL!
*turns to sand*
Sorry,just going off on a tangent. Uh,I don't think the Power Rangers should go to prison.Because,you know,if they went to prison for stealing or killing then the monsters would win. I just don't like Andros.

With only a few exceptions, like Lightspeed Rescue and SPD, Power Rangers are vigilantes. If a normal started hunting down and capturing or killing criminals they would certainly be arrested and prosecuted but not the Power Rangers.

I have a thread like that in my Toku series, the "Rangers" are deputized government sanctioned heroes.
But yeah i always find it funny how in most super heroe shows theirs all this propery dammange that is just ignored... in my series when a building falls people morn all the people who die and the heroes have to deal with the fact "we failed, people died"

if you want to know all the charges that would be brought agianst the power rangers should they ever be captured (breaking it down in the simplest terms) if they were ever brought to trial (depending on state laws) the charges brought agenst them would be (in no spicific order)
use of explosives with out licence or permit
public nusence
vigilantizm
operating heavy machinery with out a licence
colatoral damage
indangerment of a child
use of heavy firearms with out a licence
murder
homocide, genocide, (the list goes on with the various degrees) like murder 2 and so on
theft
indangerment of the public
flying in restricted zones
flying with out a licence
use of heavy artilery with out a licence
avading arrest
...and im sure the list would go on and on..and even though there are some similer ones in there...theyd all be brought up..because that's how it goes to see which ones they would be found guilty of
we once did something similer with Batman in my phyc class along time ago...the charges brought agenst him would if he was found guilty of most of them land him at least life in prision but with parol soon
edit: stupidest law, concealing ones face in public lol (i forget which state that applys to)

public nusence
When have any rangers directly caused harm to the public?
vigilantizm
Technically, yes, but no court would charge them.
operating heavy machinery with out a licence
colatoral damage
"Collateral damage" is not the name of a crime. "Destruction of public property" is the best match.
indangerment of a child
And what child(ren) would that be?
murder
When did the rangers murder any human beings? Our murder laws apply to humans. Besides, killing in defense of others is a justified defense.
homocide, genocide, (the list goes on with the various degrees) like murder 2 and so on
Again, what humans have the rangers killed?
theft
While I get that for Wil (Black Overdrive), are you referring to anyone else?
indangerment of the public
Perhaps, but the alternative, doing nothing, would endanger the public far, far more.
avading arrest
When has there been any attempt to take the rangers into custody? One cannot be charged with evading arrest if there never was an attempt to detain him in the first place.

snip...
I agree with Chris, most of those would be throw out of court, not that there isnt a case but the ones listed not so much
Also since PR universally takes place in Socal then look for California laws.
Ones throw out:
public nascence - the ranger never harrased civilians (unless mind controlled and if you taking Rangers to court a few Extenuating circumstances will be excused...also with covered faces how can you be sure Ranger Blue is the same one causing a nusicence.)
murder, homocide, genocide, (the list goes on with the various degrees) like murder 2 - Monsters are not US or even earth citizen at BESt you could try and get them protected under "crualty to animals" However it is not agaisnt the law to kill a animal under most cases.
theft - Actually Will was never really a theif outside of a few outside cases, his was a White Hat, basically people paid him SPECIFICALLY to break their security so they could beef it up so yeah...thrown out as he had consent.
indangerment of the public - maybe indirectly but it would be hard to make it stick since the alternative was letting people die.
avading arrest - again they would have to be persued first for this to be applied, if they didn't persue before this is a non-case
Valid:
use of explosives with out licence or permit
vigilantism
operating heavy machinery with out a licence
colatoral damage - you mean "destruction of public property"
endangerment of a child - this could only be taken in to court in Turbo, and only After they were arrested and unmasked Justin. Not before...Also that would be aresting a minor and protecting a minor, that's a court conflict if ever there was one.
use of heavy firearms with out a licence
flying in restricted zones
flying with out a licence
use of heavy artilery with out a licence
concealing ones face in public

Off the top of my head. Bridge chucked a random car at a monster of the week. And I know I've seen more cars and private property engulfed in explosions.
murder, homocide, genocide, (the list goes on with the various degrees) like murder 2 - Monsters are not US or even earth citizen at BESt you could try and get them protected under "crualty to animals" However it is not agaisnt the law to kill a animal under most cases.
Time Force and SPD used lasers and explosions to capture humans.
Mutated humans, sure. But humans.
That'd be excessive force at best.
Also, Waspicable. Sentient. That genie monster from season 1. Sentient. Hydro Hog. Sentient. Hydro Contaminators. The aliens Divatox hired out of a phone book. Orgs (Jindrax and Toxica prove that not all Orgs will remain evil, given the chance). Pretty much Lothor's entire army. Mesogog. Zeltrax. I'll give Mystic Force a pass because I can. All the faction leaders from Overdrive.
There are plenty of murder charges to go around.

Yes but it would be hard to arrest Police over that, a internal investigation maybe. In all the other case the cars were empty, so nuisance doesn't work, but as mentioned destruction of private property.

Mutated humans, sure. But humans.

Mutants from the future illeaglly present in our time, at best, if they had a REALLY good lawer, they could get excessive force but do you think the human of 2001 acknolged them as anything but monsters?

Again All monsters terrorizing the populace, do you really think a court of law would let Waspicable into a court room to plead his case?
And that's the key, why there are some valid charges to be filed others would be throw out because no courthouse would reconize them.

When it comes to fighting and killing monsters, the rangers are justified in killing their enemies. They're attacking Earth with a main goal of taking it over. Think of a dictator trying to take over a country, if someone kills the dictator, they save lives in the process.
On another note, the only time I can think of Rangers placing the public in danger was when Scott and Ziggy were dragging that woman and her baby around with them fighting Grinders and using them as a sheild.

And to be fair, at that point, with earth a wasteland, they could have used the mayor as a long sowrd you think anyone would procedute the guys fighting the robot army taking over the world? Hel they could shoplift apples for all it would matter, you honestly think anything would come of it? Sure Col Truman would raise a stink but as soon as venjix attacks it's a full pardon.

Yeah, um, I guarantee you that if a cop threatened a suspect like that (an UNARMED suspect!), they wouldn't just be investigated. They'd be canned.
Some jurisdictions require excessive paperwork and investigation if a cop so much as draws his sidearm, much less firing it, but you think he'd be able to get off scott free chucking a car at someone? No.
Mutants from the future illeaglly present in our time, at best, if they had a REALLY good lawer, they could get excessive force but do you think the human of 2001 acknolged them as anything but monsters?
No. I don't. This is my problem with Time Force.
But the monsters weren't here illegally because they chose to be. They were cryofrozen and dragged here, and probably threatened to be killed by Ransik or Frax if they didn't do what he said.
Remember Notacon?
Again All monsters terrorizing the populace, do you really think a court of law would let Waspicable into a court room to plead his case?
They damn well should. Our system of law isn't built on a small group of people playing judge, jury, and executioner. SPD and Time Force show that restraining monsters to be judged isn't impossible. Power Rangers choose not to.
Let me reiterate.
Rather than obey the law and due process of anyone who has committed a crime, rather than restrain a criminal so they can be fairly and impartially judged later (which is integral to anything vaguely resembling American criminal law), the Power Rangers just kill them off. Doesn't matter if they're obviously repentant or trying to surrender (how many times, when faced with the Ultrazord, did monsters beg the Rangers to not shoot them?), the Rangers murder them.
I guarantee you that if a regular citizen did this to criminals in the real world, they'd be found guilty and thrown in jail. Monsters aren't somehow lesser than us just because they're not genetically human.
And that's the key, why there are some valid charges to be filed others would be throw out because no courthouse would reconize them.
Are you a lawyer?
It doesn't mater if traken used a phone book or Lotor the Yellow pages, as far as Earth is concerned....
I can only name a handful of monsters that even threatened lives horribly, much less deserved the death penalty. So yeah, it does matter.

12-20-2009, 04:17 PM
but again time Force was in our time, not theirs. Their might be a case in 3,000 but thats 200 years of law changes. In 1993-2008 some mutant fream shows up and starts a panic. And a vigilante shows up to stop them. I'm sory but you would be hard pressed to get any US court to let the "dangerous mutant freak" into court. I fact in most cases the real police would come in and open fire, when that doesnt work then we would have the military with tanks. Monsters get no rights they would have to fight to prove they arent evil, while the marines are firing a rocket launcher at them.

Again as watchers we are privy to unique perspectives.
Look at it from a civilian pont of view.
Monster have been showing up for a year with a army of putties/cogs/etc.
One shows up that seems a bit hesitant but is still destroying stuff and sending out cogs, etc. Would you stop to listen to him?

12-20-2009, 06:23 PM
No.
I'd restrain him until the proper, legal authorities can be reached to arrest him.
But let's turn this around.
There's a guy blowing up stuff in your town. Not killing anyone, though. Just blowing up unoccupied cars, maybe some abandoned buildings. The worst he's doing is property damage. You have a pistol and a clear shot. Do you put a bullet through his brain?

Remember people are not logical and uneffected by emotion. A monster along would bring the army down on him, a army with know destroyers would leads to instant kill order. Your ignoreing public perception. The monsters have to prove their not evil but their very appearance will incite riot and panic and over reaction.

It's not like there's been an army of footsoldiers onscreen every time a monster was murdered.

Just because I think unintentional racism and/or ethnocentrism is hilarious, yes.
Remember people are not logical and uneffected by emotion.
I'm pretty sure a crime committed in the heat of the moment is still a crime, so that's no excuse.
A monster along would bring the army down on him, a army with know destroyers would leads to instant kill order.
...
Did you completely ignore the part where I very specifically said he wasn't hurting anyone, only breaking things?
You'd murder someone for doing nothing worse than property damage or vandalism.
That's insane. Even by PR fandom standards.
And this doesn't even go into how I wasn't talking about the army. I was talking about you, specifically, because in the vast majority of cases the army isn't brought into PR, so talking about what they would be justified in doing is less than pointless.
Your ignoreing public perception. The monsters have to prove their not evil
Yeah! Guilty until proven innocent is totally a maxim relating to this topic!
It's guilty until proven innocent, right? I haven't purposely reversed the commonly accepted maxim and basis for our legal system to prove a point or anything, have I?
but their very appearance will incite riot and panic and over reaction.

You think that people panicking because they see someone different completely justifies murder?

well sorry that's life, if monsters were real it's shoot first ask questions never, i mean really before the civil rights movement you could be lynch for going to a public school if you had chocolate skin...you really think a 6 foot tall half man, half lobster who isn't even a registed citizen of any country is going to be given a fair deal?
You entire argument is what the Rangers would be arrested for, and i'm sorry no one is going to stand on the dangerous monster's side.

It's interesting how you bring up the civil rights movement. Because it was kind of my point too.
The oppression of blacks was wrong. But the oppression of some other races that look different but aren't entirely evil is justified, in your eyes.

I'm not glossing over it, nore am i saying it's /right/ what i'm saying is it won't happen.
atleast black are human and citizens. Let's look at what you have to do for Notocon to persecute the Rangers for attempted murder or full murder for someone to do it in his name.
Reconized as human/sentient - so first he has to prove that he is sentient and protencted by human rights, with most monsters being cold blooded killers this is a uphill battle
Citizenship - if he wants protection he has to be a citizen otherwise he is a ileagle alien and has no legal rights.
Ok so now hes a sentient us citizen
now he has to defend his own actions of destruction of public property before he can even THINK of persecuting the Rangers.

I do notice you didn't answer my hypothetical from earlier. I assume it's because you see I was right.
atleast black are human and citizens.
Mutants are humans. The fact that they're not considered citizens in their own time through a quirk of their genetics is as inhumane as when America used to consider black people to be worth less than whites because of the color of their skin. It's atrocious.
Let's look at what you have to do for Notocon to persecute the Rangers for attempted murder or full murder for someone to do it in his name.
Reconized as human/sentient - so first he has to prove that he is sentient and protencted by human rights, with most monsters being cold blooded killers this is a uphill battle
That's stupid.
Some humans, who are recognized as sentient by, well, humans, are also cold blooded killers. You're purposely trying to stack the deck against monsters. And failing.
Prove humans are sentient. Here, I'll save you some time: you can't. That's an impossible condition to fulfill.
And seriously, I can count on one hand the number of monsters who *are* killers. You keep calling them killers. Quit it. They're usually not. And the few who are are vastly, vastly outnumbered by the ones who aren't. Entire races, even. A lot of monsters are simply members of races of creatures who look like them. Are you willing to take your argument to the logical conclusion of genocide?
Citizenship - if he wants protection he has to be a citizen otherwise he is a ileagle alien and has no legal rights.
Illegal aliens have rights. Off the top of my head, if you kill one, you're going to jail.
You're dead wrong that illegal aliens have no rights, but the only one I care about right now is the right to due process and trial. Illegal aliens certainly have those rights.
Ok so now hes a sentient us citizen
now he has to defend his own actions of destruction of public property before he can even THINK of persecuting the Rangers.
...what?
When did I ever say the monsters would be persecuting the Rangers?
At any rate, I'm pretty sure destruction of property is less of an offense than murder.

in defence of what i put, it was late, and those were off the top of my head and yes i did mean damage to property or whatever, and you go to the assumption that they'd be taken in to human custody, who would bring the power rangers in? my thing was basicly saying the would charge the rangers with as much as they possibly could (they do this alot in trials) just to see what stuck and what they would be charged with...let alone found guilty of...and if you're going to go with this make beleive world view, you might as well say the court would some how extend it's arm to inculde these "monsters" also, i should have specified that the charges span the seasons, not just one spicific season..and how can we say all those buildings were empty when they were being destroyed, certianly not the harbor where dragonzord comes out of...and in the eyes of the public when rangers go rouge or start of evil (Such as my name Evil Green Ranger) that was the public nusance i was talking about, Or how bout causing a thunderstorm everytime you call your zords, or the explosions...a good persicutor could drum up a list of charges
basicly what im saying is I wasn't imagining this trial was taking place in our world...it would be takin place in theres, presumably the laws would be the same and you have to take in to consideration why were they brought in in the first place and by whom and so on

Hey, zords are another good point.
Bush spent billions of dollars hunting WMD's that didn't exist. Zords, in the PRU, *do* exist...

I found it to be shallow and pedantic, but that's just me.
*Nod Nod.*
Zords are WMD's. Hell, the Quantisaurus shot Nuclear Winter lazer beams from it's shoulders!
The Rescue Carrier MegaZord shot megaton missiles from it's fists!
The SPD Base MegaZord shot a charged particle beam from it's limbs!
Yeah, they're pretty much WMD's.
The Time Force's heavy weaponry alone could wipe out a city block, not to mention most of the combined weapon attacks could possibly demolish large buildings..
SPD's Swat Megazord Gun-Mode.. That could obliterate a city if shot from space..
*Shudder.*
I'm glad it's a TV show some times..
