I'm incorrect, as seen in authoritarian regimes, in that you can put the genie back in the bottle if you beat enough people with daysticks.  That creates huge resentment, usually leading to cycles of more riots and beatings.  The status quo can be restored, just uglier.

I reckon there's another story in this.  Maitland had lieutenants and they saw the evidence, first hand, her idea worked.  They're demoted and scattered to nothing jobs but can see MC1 creaking under the strain.  Meanwhile, Dredd investigates how an assassin simply walked out of prison.  This leads to why and what Dredd really hates: politics.  Dredd is a believer in the daystick but really hates corrupt judges, so has to ally with said lieutenants against Hernandez.  Hernandez can't demote or publicly slander Dredd 'cos he's Dredd.  So, it's time for even more murder and intrigue at the highest level.

Unless the author's going to pull a deus ex machina, which would be lazy, MC1 will get much worse.  Once you let riots run out of control, the genie doesn't go back into the bottle, and the judges have been chronically undermanned for years.  A political system that's been slowly failing will fail faster and, sadly, a way to fix it has just been killed.

I've just noticed the Feral and Foe section is missing the credits.  Prog 2359 has it.

Hmm... I do not have DM rights on this forum and Gmail is bouncing my requests to the administrator. Thus, I cannot contact him to request posting privileges.  How annoying.

So, I post here to prove I'm not a spam bot?  I can prove it by saying I'm eager for the return of Azimuth.
