Modernized Lincoln-Douglas Debates: Vigilantism

The Lincoln-Douglas Debates established a social focus on the governance-relevant discussions about citizenry concerns. The debates dealt with the legal and social ramifications of the abolition of slavery in America, the idea of popular sovereignty, and the issues involved with Lincoln's political power.

Since the advent of sea travel and colonialization, globalization has wed politics to mercantilism (i.e., European Union).

The modern age (post-Industrialization) sees a focus on networking-related issues and access to jurisprudence dialogue in the public domain (i.e., Court TV).

The recent proliferation of comic book adapted Hollywood (USA) films such as "The Dark Knight" [2008] and "The Punisher" [2004] suggests there is a newfound interest in bringing modern traffic-related jurisprudence dialogue (i.e., vigilantism) to the public eye.

In fact, there are multiple comic book adapted television programs in America now such as "Gotham" (Fox TV) and "Lucifer" (Fox TV) which highlight this new trend in vigilantism theme-spotlighting fervor.

This suggests that folk religion has found new celebrity in the age of media and TV. Al Jazeera TV and EWTN bring religion showcases to digital cable providers for mass audiences.

Perhaps it was the shock-themed films of Alfred Hitchcock or the lifestyle-horror novels of Stephen King that brought to the forefront this new age social interest in pedestrianism sensitivity.

When you turn on the TV in America and notice a program about the infamous OJ Simpson murder trial or the Fisher-Buttafuoco suburbia scandal, you realize how media and pedestrian dialogue are so wed in the modern age.

Imagine therefore, similar to the Lincoln-Douglas Debates, that a sociology-drama writer pits a vigilantism/jurisprudence debate between Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction, and Pennwise, the demonic anarchism-bent clown from the iconic American horror novel It (Stephen King).

This hypothetical Shiva-Pennywise Debate concerns the influence of Black Mask comics.

Black Mask is a fictional super-villain and nemesis of the urban vigilante Batman (DC Comics).

Shiva represents power balanced with control, while Pennywise represents anarchism criticism over jurisprudence vulnerabilities and criminality neglect.

Shiva
: "Black Mask's control over Gotham City's most intricate crime syndicate makes him a modern age comics art symbol of vigilantism hysteria."

Pennywise: "Black Mask's ability to control a crime syndicate makes him an educational symbol for those curious about modern jurisprudence frailties."

Shiva: "Black Mask's radical tactics makes him a bad influence on youngsters who should get more democratic inspiration from law enforcement icons/avatars such as Robocop and The Untouchables."

Pennywise: "Black Mask's radical tactics draws more attention to why Americans romanticize bank robbers such as Bonnie and Clyde and vigilantes such as the Hell's Angels."

Shiva: "Black Mask's use of unfiltered violence suggests to youngsters that orthodox policemen are simply ineffective, and that kind of cynicism is dangerous to circulate without supervision in the arts."

Pennywise: "Black Mask's use of unfiltered violence is proof that democratic jurisprudence is unsatisfying."

What we can reap from this hypothetical Shiva-Pennywise Debate is that there is an educational pedestrianism potential in jurisprudence flowery.

This is why more and more law professors are using the media/TV as teaching aids and pointers.

Addendum: Halloween

Imagine this Halloween, an anti-immigration Neo-Nazi rogue gang decide to walk around in colorful masks and decorate the suburban streets of New York with jack-o'-lanterns planted with explosives. When residents think the decorations are a gesture by the municipality, they pay no attention, but when the pumpkins explode, terrorism is obviously suspected.

The next day, this same gang sends a notice to the New York Post which reads, "We are an anti-immigration group and we detest how the otherwise Samhain-derived masquerade festival of Halloween has been colored by the odious problem of mismanaged immigration into the United States. American children are no longer comfortable wearing masks for Halloween, knowing that the faces behind other people's masks hides the intentions of lazy immigrants and their kids populating America and corrupting its rituals!"

In the days of Thomas Nast, political criticism was confined to cartoons and comics in newspapers, but since the days of the anti-establishmentarianism counter-culture of the 1960s and the rise of the vigilante group the Hell's Angels, political criticism has become almost a pedestrian passion.

So, how do we coordinate new age street passions about modern problems with vigilantism jitters?

SHIVA: Immigration creates a great deal of bigotry.
PENNYWISE: No one likes masks.
SHIVA: Halloween is the new patrol!
PENNYWISE: Yes.
