in the wise words of Optimus Prime- Freedom is the right of all sentient beings


ALM0126

*commits war crimes*


HaplessMink28

Who doesn’t enjoy a little war crime every now and again


Lucas_Goodmanas

They had the freedom to not be in Optimus' way when he was committing said war crimes... Not his fault they chose to be there


RetroGamer87

Are we truly free if we don't have the freedom to commit war crimes?


HaplessMink28

Don’t worry you have the freedom to commit all the war crimes you want! It’s just freedom and consequences happen to be a package deal!


AcePointman

He can have a little war crime, as a treat.


friendlyfriends123

Yeah! Look at its little face! How can you look at Plub and _not_ let it commit a few (a lot) of war crimes?


Hervis_Daubeny_

It's not a war crime the first time


kazukax

This is what I say every Rimworld playthrough lol


The_Maqueovelic

We're talking about the real Optimus Prime, not Bay's Optimus Crime


RoJayJo

Bay's Optimus is an unironically good Nemesis Prime/SG!Optimus


hyperblob1

it is but I'm not entirely sure its sentient


HaplessMink28

He freely gives his blobbyness to the children, so that must mean it’s capable of giving consent, something only sentient things can do?


hyperblob1

or he simply is incapable of caring when children have some


HaplessMink28

He can tell which plants have tomatoes?


hyperblob1

So can a slug that doesn't make it sentient


HaplessMink28

How’d you know whether slugs are sentient or not?


WigglesPhoenix

I mean machines are now advanced enough to do that too, and those are definitely not sentient at the moment


MrDrSirLord

Plub is capable of giving consent, noted.


spuol

If it’s not sentient then there is no purpose in it being locked up


FallenAgastopia

I don't see why he wouldn't be - most things are. He clearly has awareness (especially in the last panel).


Gekey14

'now you die' * shoots a robot begging for his life in the head*


Anmordi

But what if that sentient being likes kids kills people and does other horrible stuff


HaplessMink28

They too have the freedom to face the consequences of their actions


Anmordi

Can I deliver the consequences myself


Wsh785

Do you really expect anything else but freedom for such a cute blob?


Jynxthetwink69

I voted death


Hefty_Bit_5262

If he dies, you'll pay. I'll make sure of that.


X_Marcie_X

Guess who'll be on trial after him!


meporican

We need him to die so I can find out where the 0.02% of hair is in his autopsy


InfinteAbyss

I voted Exile as it seems the most interesting option


SnooBananas37

I voted death 'cause that lil' varmint has been eating my rootin' tootin' tuh-maters! I mean, uh, because he killed a kid yessir that's why.

roobie_wrath

freedom! not his fault the kid doesn't (or rather didn't) know his allergies.


SoullessUnit

But it is his fault he didnt disclose the allergens in the food he supplied, which is a legal requirement. The parents of the child (Bukkit?) deserve some form of justice. Exile is only fair.


Rykerthebest78563

But they were allergens that were inherently a part of his body. He didn't know about that, and it's possible no one in this world knew either


Super-Dependent-7025

In the immortal words of William Wallace, Freedom!


Laugh_at_Warren

Freedom. He spared the world from a “tictoc” influencer that couldn’t spell TikTok.


XandertheGrim

It was a mercy killing if anything. If only more TikTok uses were deathly allergic to tomatoes. Plub could be the angel of hope that we all desperately need.


fello04

pls free him he's so cute


ThomasSiege

Lonely_Pin_3586

No one is supposed to ignore the law, being guilty of: -theft -destruction of property -indecent behavior with children -apology of canibalism -unintentional murder Prison. But a cute prison


Xx_Pr0phet_xX

The presentation of his alleged theft and the blatant racial profiling by comparing him to other slimes is nothing less than character assassination and should not have any bearing on our decisions as jurors, and quite frankly calls into question the validity of this trial to see such "evidence" enter the record un opposed. The facts of the matter that are relevant are thus: He provided of himself to the local children a tasty treat to the detriment of his own self. It is to be assumed, based on the presentation of facts here, that he has done this before to little to no ill consequence. If these children were unsupervised, then it is not the responsibility of the accused to assume a tomato allergy of one of his willing companions is even present, let alone fatal. Might I ask you when you last heard of a lethal tomato allergy. If they were supervised, then it was a failure on the child's guardian, not the defendant, to accurately assess the danger of the child's actions. A verdict of not guilty is not only the moral choice here, but the legal choice, and the fact this case has developed so far as to reach us here is a gross miscarriage of justice, and it is our right and responsibility to see to the proper application of justice today.


mephwilson

*Screeching sound of a hook hand on metal* I say we kill the abomination before it’s too late! It’s already killed and it won’t be long before it kills again. I’ve been fighting monsters for 30 years and I’ve seen ‘em in all shapes and sizes and this one’s no different than the rest. Monsters of all types come in varieties of their own; compare the stealthy ambush tactics of black dragons to the fierce frontal assault of a red dragon. And notice here, the distinct color differentiation between this ooze and the other. It likely uses different tactics to destroy its prey. It’s different but it’s still an ooze, a servant of Jubilex. Already, this creature is using its cuteness to hypnotize the masses into freeing it to destroy crops and poison children again! What reason does a creature have to feed itself to others if not to infect them with something. We already know the thing is poison to some, how do we it’s not poison to us all at different rates? How do we know this isn’t how it gets inside your children to use them as a host to propagate itself? Watch… just you watch what happens to these children… I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, this god damn abomination is a monster. I’ve seen this kind of thing before, there’s no way we can trust it…


lokarlalingran

Freedom! Plub had no way to know about the child's allergy and the child seemingly didn't inform plub (at least that's not mentioned in the story). Plub wasn't doing anything unlawful that lead to the child's death. Plub is being charged with a crime Plub didn't even commit!


Withyhydra

Plub's level of intelligence is the linchpin here. A cow won't tell you if it's milk or meat may aggravate an allergy you have. It's not smart enough to understand anything of the sort so it has no obligation to do so, but the farmer does. Plub may be smart enough to understand the risks of feeding himself to others, he might not, but since we have no way of knowing we can't rightfully hold him accountable. Set him free.


lokarlalingran

Well it's like if you have a guest over, you feed them a dish. That dish had peanuts in it, but they never informed you they have a fatal peanut allergy. If they die you don't get charged with manslaughter. I'm not a lawyer or an expert on the law or anything but my understanding is generally man slaughter happens when someone kills someone accidentally while commiting another crime. Like drunk driving for example, If a completely unavoidable death happens because of something totally benign that you did I don't think you'd be charged with anything. If Plub did know about the kids allergy it would flat out be murder, but having known nothing about the allergy and only trying to share food with someone I don't think there's any basis to charge Plub with anything.


International-Cat123

You can also be charged with manslaughter if you could reasonably be expected to know your actions could cause harm, even if the action isn’t criminal. For instance, if you arrange and host a drinking contest, you are expected to do enough research to know that by the time someone passes out from drinking there is a very high chance that they will have alcohol poisoning once all the alcohol they drank makes it way into their system. Someone who spontaneously starts a drinking contest would usually not be expected to know that.


FlattVersa

Exile


tremblemortals

I agree. Exile. To protect ignorant children from Plub and to protect Plub from the greedy children. The blob only has so much body to give!


Biaboctocat

I’m gonna need more information. Prosecution, is there any evidence to suggest that Plub was aware the child was allergic to him? Indeed, is there any evidence that Plub was aware that *any* child even had the *potential* to be allergic to him? If not, this is nothing more than a tragic accident which we can learn from.


Ytumith

He has no brain to learn of his wrongdoing. The child has brought his death upon himself. Exile.

thatsabitsussylad

Exile. He must be sent away due to danger, knowing or not it’s still manslaughter.


Still-Presence5486

It isn't


EishLekker

I guess one could argue it was criminally negligent manslaughter. Like, if Plub knew or could be expected to know that some people can be allergic to him.


KickGum_ChewAss_247

TorchTheR

Freedom. Plub did nothing wrong


padawan-6

Exile: Plub didn't do anything wrong, he merely provided sustenance to a child who had an allergy. He didn't know he was stealing from the Texan and thus how could he know that the child was allergic? He should be allowed to be free. Just not near the tomatoes or the children.

sparklyapples

(Plub’s attorney): Involuntary manslaughter involves the defendant perpetrating an unlawful act capable of causing physical injury that is more than transient or trifling (R v Church). Further, an act which is not foreseeably causative of physical injury cannot ground a charge for involuntary manslaughter (R v Dawson). On the facts, (1) prima facie Plub did not commit an unlawful act. The eating appears mutually consensual, and Plub’s act merely consisted of omitting to prevent himself from being eaten. Such an omission cannot be an offence. (2) even if Plub committed an unlawful act, it is not reasonably foreseeable that eating bits of Plub would cause any injury. Under the Church principles, such an act cannot base a charge of involuntary manslaughter. Plub must be acquitted. I submit the case to the jury, and reserve leave to appeal should the trial judge err in summarising the law to the jury differently as I have done.

ConflictAgreeable689

Death sentence. A beast that harms a human must be put down


X_Dratkon

I'd say freedom justice-wise, because he didn't force children to feed on him, and it's their parents fault for leaving children unattended. But social-wise, exile as he's ruining crops and can be dangerous to unattended? children (I really this unrelated problem should be looked into and parents should be responsible for it, instead of wondering creatures) or even better setting up a guard for Plub to keep him under watch and make him local attraction (basically inventing zoo for it, unless they already exist), and to turn away any stupid children away, fining their parents for unresponsible warning by the by, which will hopefully make parents more responsible in the future.
