I remember Anvent Eturrer, and I remember the criticism we leveled at the Federation for the way he was executed without due process, and in a breathtakingly inhumane way.

Are we going to go down that road? Have we forgotten who we are? We're civilised human beings kirjuuni. We're not impatient psychotics champing at the bit; We're Caldari, and we have due process for these situations. Cutting corners, brutalizing the assumed guilty, allowing our passions to drive us? That's not our way, for all that the Provists have made it our way for the last five years.

If we're going to ever get that venom out of our system then we need to start with an effort of will. We need to do this RIGHT.

Are we accusing Heth of a crime? Then we arrest him and try him. If it's a capital crime, we offer him the Hak'Len Tea prior to his trial, and maybe he'll spare us all the indignity of the trial. If he does not, we will abide by and respect the ruling of the court, whatever that may be. And if we decide upon execution, then it will be done swiftly, humanely, and with discretion.

As much as I despise the man I won't see vigilante justice done in the State by a capsuleer who's letting their heart rule their head. If need be I will defend Tibus Heth's life until he stands trial, not because I want him to live, but because I want him not to be a martyr to Empyrean anger.

Enough of this "a billion ISK for his rotting corpse" paask. It's undignified, uncivilized, and selfish. There are tens of thousands of mourning families out there who have lost loved ones to Heth's crazed crusade against the Federation and every single one of them deserve to see justice done far more than do any of us capsuleers, who are merely angry at him. Work that anger off. I had to rip two sparring drones apart, meditate and have a contemplative conversation on Achuran philosophy before I started to feel calm again but here I am, and apparently I'm the only man among us who thought to try and be Caldari about this.

Calm down, get a hold of yourselves, and surrender your rage to the greater needs of the State. The State doesn't need a pack of choleric immortals on the warpath, it needs Cold Wind.

And Andreus? I would take it as a personal favour if you would stop gloating.
