recently watched a interesting hk drama "catch me now". The story is essentially about police and thieves but the "thieves" are modern day robinhooders.
it questions the fact that if criminals cannot be punished by the law due to the lack of evidence, should others step in to right this unfairness, by using drastic and somewat criminal-like methods to bring justice to those who rightly deserve?
this is the so-called grey area which is wide open for any debate. if u were to look at it in both ways, those who say yes to robinhooders want justice to be given no matter wat, while those naysayers may say that these robinhooders are putting it on themselves to mete out punishment. the question then comes, how do the robinhooders gauge how much punishment to give? this power of meting out punishment could probably corrupt their minds, and give them false impression that they have the final judgement..? hmmm, i'm nt too sure....

and to add another point brought up in last nite's episode, a girl who is brought up really pricipled, knowing wats right and wrong will not give up her principles to love one of the robinhooders. "Cops and thieves of any kind are always opposites and against one another... there can be no compromise.."
ReplyDeleteat that point in time, her brother who is a cop and had from the beginning tried his best to catch those robinhooders, had started "changing". He began to gain a understanding towards one of the robinhooders(who happens to be the ring leader).
his choice : to be a "good" cop or to assist the robinhooder when he needs help?
