			==Jack opinnions and state of mind==
			Not sure if this was ever posted on the wiki.


			Vivian: Jack has mixed feelings about Vivian on one hand she seems to be
			one part Wonder Woman one part Super Secretary and seems to be able to
			get what needs doing done in a pinch. And her loyalty once given in an
			impressive and unswayable thing. On the other hand her tottaly lack of
			ability to take anything jack trys seriously and her immediate
			assumption to jump as far to the opisite of any direction no matter
			weather hes being "jack" or has a good idea is frustrating to the young
			man. Its his own fault hes chosen to see Vivian as a competent person
			and a member of the group but in the end she realy is brains man thru
			and thru.

			Brian: Jacks untarnished view of Brian being able to do no wrong has
			long shaken free and been replaced by a more pragmatic view of the man.
			Jack finds it difficult to stomach that Brian trys as hard as he can to
			keep from getting his hands dirty as if until recently he hadn't realy
			decide if he was in this or not. Aurther and Jack have discussed these
			concerns exstensively. Overall though Jack still respects Brian and
			thinks of him as the go to man. He thinks Brian has a good heart and is
			trying to do the right thing but gets blinded sometime along the away.
			But push come to Shove no one can Deny that qualms or not Brian hasn't
			been there for his friends each and everytime theve needed him and
			that's something that no matter how frustrated jack gets with Brian will
			brand the man a friend for life. He worrys about Brians growing 'War'
			with Milos and sees the two men as Mirrors to each other.

			Milos: Jack used to think Milos maybe had the right ideas and was just
			going about them the wrong way. He felt Milos was to readily willing to
			abuse his power aginst peoples wills but that other then that maybe the
			man wanted good things for the survivers. However recently he has seen
			Milos becoming increasingly obsessed with competing with brian to the
			point of beginning madness. As well as Jack is starting to think the man
			is more concerned with power and seeing himself as a new GOD in the
			world. Jack feels this is a very dangerous road. He fears where Milos's
			ambitions will lead him. But he didn't truly think of the man as a
			threat until Milos actcidently/inadvertently threatened Jacks family.

			Mandy: Jacks view of Mandy has changed radically over the last year.
			First he saw her as an Idealized hero from the plane A firefighter hero
			rescuer of people who could do no wrong.. then she killed and Jack saw
			her as human and vulnerable and though he couldn't reconcile what she
			did and her reasons for it. It has made his view of her more real and
			lead to a closer relationship then he would ever have had with her on
			the pedistle he first put her on. Lately Jack has loved watching her
			blossom into her own during the rescue work in Pakistan. Of us all she
			seems the most stable these days.


			Aurther 1.0: Aurther is Jacks best friend how that happened is hard to
			say. But he and Jack have been together one way or another for so long
			having aurther there is a given. Hes already lost Aurther once when he
			lost his memorys for the future. Jack feels protective of Aurther as if
			he where a brother Jack could relate to better then his own brothers.
			This is a far cry from the original opinion he held of the man
			"PSYCHO!!!" Jack is very much worried about loosing Aurther again.

			Aurther 2.0: Murdering Psycho, did you see the way he killed those
			Soilders without a second thought? Hes everything our Aurther has
			managed to leave behind.


			----
			Jacks State of mind:

			Jack feels like hes drownding lately, Hes finaly starting to accept that
			he needs to take responsibility and step forward and be a "Kennedy" or
			whatever hes going to be. He wants to help and protect the survivers he
			wants to get to the bottom of what happened. He wants to see his
			government as his Ally not as his enemy. He wants to do good.. Do the
			Right thing.. but what the hell is that?? What way do we go what
			decisions do we make? What right do I have to be the one to take action
			to make decisions to take responsibility for others lives? Some how the
			answer "because you're a kennedy" just wares to thin to Jack.. Hes as
			frustrated with his actions always seeming to make things worse as he is
			with brains inaction. Jack is not sure what the right thing or right
			direction to go is. For once in his life he wants to take some
			responsibility and DO something improtiant.. But he finds his misspent
			youth poor training for accomplishing these goals.. maybe Father is
			right.. maybe it is time for a home coming.. but Jack finds it hard to
			believe that even the Mythic Senator Kennedy has the all inclusive right
			plan..

			Jack feels torn between whos right is right. Is Brian right? Is Milos?
			Is Senator kennedy? Who has the answer? Whos cause should Jack back?

			Jack finds himself pray for some devine stroke that will make him from
			Just Jack bennet into young Mr. Kennedy and while he waits with little
			hope of it happening he keeps trying to slug his way through the shit
			and not fuck up to bad as he trys to do the "right" thing. Why?
			Because.. what other choice is there?

			==Future Plot Arcs Ideas==
			''The changes we make. Like, the first three arcs are he "establishing arcs" on some level, setting up the broad strokes of who the characters are and how they interact with the world, and after that we get into the "coming into our own for the first time" arc.

			To my mind, that makes it the arc of positive changes and bettering the world before the fifth arc, wherein our enemies fuck us up the ass, only for us to win back to goodness in the sixth arc, but that's me.

			What changes are the survivers making in the world. Not just us but all over. Now that everyone has had time to get home and time for there powers to begin to reveal themselves and to deal with immediate bigotry and then celebrity. Now I think its about time to see how the survivers are choosing to user their abilitys. Who fades into the wood work who fails tragicly who means well but accomplishes little and who moves mountains and erects great monuments for good or ill.

			Then I think that just as we are realy getting into the groove of trying to make a difference some weird revliation about our origin would but a spin or twist on that of some kind.

			The next arc would be about discovery of where we get our powers and what happened to us. Only to have said quest/introspection interuped by villains kicking our butts and what not.''

	As the frontier moved westward over the course of the next century, lynch law moved with it. At first, lynching sometimes meant bringing together the citizens of a community to hear a case and mete out punishment, and the punishment was rarely capital. But in the later nineteenth century, lynching usually meant mob action and death by hanging or even burning. And it was not confined to the frontier; lynchings took place in every part of the country except New England. While members of all races were lynched, lynching was particularly hard on blacks in the South, who had little recourse to the law; some three thousand were lynched between 1880 and 1960.

Only then, with the success of the civil rights movement, did the practice finally die out.


			==Citizen Arrest==
			A '''citizen's arrest''' is an arrest performed by a person acting as a civilian, as opposed to a sworn police officer\|law enforcement officer. The practice dates back to medieval England and the English common law, when sheriffs encouraged ordinary citizen\|citizens to help apprehend law breakers.

			===Legal possibility===
			In the United States, all states permit citizen arrests if a felony crime is witnessed by the citizen carrying out the arrest, or when a citizen is asked to help apprehend a suspect by the police. The application of state laws varies widely with respect to misdemeanor crimes, breaches of the peace, and felonies not witnessed by the arresting party. In California, for example, there is no requirement that a lawful arrest be executed by a citizen (as opposed to an alien (law)\|alien or illegal immigrant), and the citizen's arrest is referred to as a "private person arrest." Note particularly that American citizens do not have the authorities or the legal protections of the police, and are liable before both the civil law and criminal law for any violation of the rights of another.

			Other countries, such as Canada and Sweden allow citizen's arrests under certain circumstances. General provisions tend to be that the crime has to be serious and the arrestee has to be caught ''in flagrante delicto'' (in the act of committing the crime). As an example, France allows any person to arrest a person having committed ''in flagrante delicto'' a crime punishable by a jail or prison term, and to conduct that person before the nearest officer of judiciary police – in practice, nowadays, one would rather call the police in after performing the arrest ([http://admi.net/cgi-bin/adminet/article.pl?c=CPROCPEL&a=L73 Code of penal procedure, L73]).

			In New Zealand, citizen's arrests can be made if the crime is being committed at night, is punishable by three or more years of imprisonment, and the person is attempting to escape from the person making the arrest. The person making the arrest must also inform the suspect the reason he or she is being arrested and take him or her to the nearest police officer.

			In the Australian state of South Australia any person may arrest a person guilty of a breach of the Criminal Law Consolidated Act. They must make it clear they are arresting the person by words or actions.

			In Germany, citizen's arrests can be made under [http://dejure.org/gesetze/StPO/127.html §127 StPO (code of penal procedures)] if the arrestee is caught ''List of Latin phrases#I\|in flagrante delicto'' and the identity of the person cannot be (otherwise) established immediately. The person making the arrest is allowed to hold the arrestee solely for the purpose of turning him over to a proper legal authority such as the police. German law does not establish that the crime has to be serious, nor that the person making the arrest has to actually be a citizen of Germany.

			In England and Wales, a citizen's arrest is allowed under the [[Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984]] for an arrestable offence in two circumstances: Firstly, any person who knows that an arrestable offence has been committed may arrest a person who they have reasonable grounds for suspecting committed that offence; and secondly, any person who has reasonable grounds for suspecting that another person is in the process of committing an arrestable offence may arrest that person.
			The first of these powers is rather risky to use, since it relies upon the person carrying out the arrest ''knowing'' that an arrestable offence has been committed — if, for example, the person they arrest is later acquitted in court, then no offence has been committed, and so the arrest was false arrest\|unlawful.
			In addition to the above, a private person may be authorised to execute an arrest warrant, if the court issuing the warrant has given them the authority to do so, and any person may arrest someone who is "unlawfully at large" (for example, an escaped prisoner).[http://www.kevinboone.com/citizens_arrest.html]

			Despite the title, the arresting person does not necessarily have to be a citizen of the country where he/she is acting.

			===Dangers===
			Most law enforcement officials discourage anyone from performing a citizen's arrest, especially where physical force is involved. See Weber's theory of the state\|Monopoly on the legitimate use of force. Doing so can subject a person to legal action, including charges of impersonating police, false imprisonment, kidnapping, or wrongful arrest, especially if the wrong person is apprehended or a suspect's civil rights are violated.

			The level of responsibility that a person performing a citizen's arrest may bear depends on the jurisdiction. For instance, in France and Germany, a person stopping a criminal from committing a crime, including crimes against belongings, is not criminally responsible as long as the means employed are in proportion to the threat (note, however, that at least in Germany this results from a different legal norm: "self-defence" and "aid to others in immediate danger" - which are concerned with prevention not prosecution of crimes).

			The act of making an arrest may be dangerous in several senses. First and foremost is the likelihood that the arrest will be resisted, possibly with force or even a weapon. Further, the typical private person is not trained or equipped to carry out an arrest safely – even most security guards who are familiar with citizen's arrests lack sufficient training. Last but not least, many legal jurisdictions consider the citizen's arrest to be a special case where any mistake by the arresting party may result in civil or criminal liability. Excessive force may result in criminal charges against the arresting party.

			In areas where police services are available, anyone witnessing a serious crime is strongly advised for their own safety to notify the police rather than attempting direct intervention. Even if intervention is attempted, the safest objective may be to scare off the assailant or criminal rather than to attempt to take them into custody.

			In rural or other settings, a general call for help may be more appropriate.
