Rudy up on charges?

<< < (9/13) > >>

Conspiracy Theorist:
My theory is the White God oversees a peace to prevent the Supernatural from impacting upon the mortal world too heavily and destroying humanity. The Red Court and the Titan are obvious examples of this. The Baku was a new monster who knew how big if could get, Siriothrax had obviously extruded more into the mortal world than he should have. They don’t just counter the Fallen, a genuine Threat in their own right.

This doesn’t prevent the Supernatural from preying on Humans, in fact it promotes humanity’s capacity to work together and its technology, towards the Singularity resulting in the creation of the White God. This peace also empowers circles and thresholds, protections for humans from lesser threats.

It’s all free will and the power wielde by the knights and users of Soulfire (its champions) do so out of free will. The wielder supplies the action, the angel supplies just enough power to carry that action through.

Nooneofconsequence:
Good point about the wielder and their use of free will.  I was basing my position on the Carpenter's security, where they can stop Nickelheads but not mooks with guns.
Obviously the swords can be used against mooks, but Fidelacchius didn't affect Harry at the house, and he was counting on it behaving the same.  What was different between the two instances? The winter mantle being given more control is the big one.

But maybe it's all about intent.  Maybe Harry and Waldo's state of mind and intent  (there's that free will again) were the difference. 

Conspiracy Theorist:
Harry was willing to allow his free will to be subsumed by the Mantle and become a humanity ending monster its that reason why the Swords were in play in this instance, not to stop the Titan, but to win the fight for Harry’s free will, as that is what eventually led to the Titan being stopped, to stop the Starborn becoming The Destroyer and dooming his universe.

Nooneofconsequence:
Most likely.
In any case, to the original topic,  I think formal charges against Rudy will only be about his behavior inside the day care center, where Bradley and the "grandmotherly" woman are witnesses. 
Given the casualties the CPD likely took?  I suspect they'll be reluctant to get rid of anyone.

Mira:


  Rudy won't be charged, if there is charges, it will be about what he has accused both Harry and Murphy with.  Lets not forget even Bradly was trying to arrest them at the beginning with it started to hit the fan at the beginning of Battle Ground.. And no, those charges haven't gone away and you can bet that Rudy will continue to try and press them and possibly add an attempted murder charge as well for Harry's attack after he shot Murphy.  It is all being set up, and I wouldn't be shocked if a trial takes up a significant part of "Twelve Months," especially in the light of the legal theme of one of the last short stories.
