[And Crowley begins to feed slices of the orange to something at his knees -- Castiel's hellpuppy, Abaddon, is begging for them.]
I've witnessed bloody revolutions and peaceful turnabouts. I can promise you that the situation at hand isn't going to be solved by acting nicely and minding our manners. No amount of tongue-in-cheeking is going to cure the inherent social segregation in place within this society. The Newcomers will never cease feeling like outcasts, the natives will never cease thinking us savages -- acting as if we are equal isn't going to do anything but kill us faster.
That being said -- of course equal punishment is necessary, but punishment should always fit the crime. Should the oppressors be protected so much as the oppressed? Should we really enact a massive witch hunt for people standing up for their rights and their senses of dignity against Big Brother? Or should we instead make a larger statement against the government of Siren's Port, that we are willing to go this far, but we will go that much farther should our demands not be met.
[He scratches Abaddon's ears.]
Talk of revolution doesn't come about and begin to catch on unless there is a need for it, prosecutor. I would prepare your offices for many more tiny uprisings. People are beginning to grow tired of being told to mind their manners.
