Good evening,
Tonight HTSN reported on the trial of Achilles, who was trialed for the misdemeanor of entering the Moth Library/Temple.
Damen, the Administrator, claimed many have been trialed and executed for this crime, HTSN issued a fact check, that it was false.
Damen revoked our press passes and subsequently fired us.
Our Fact Check was not blasphemous, wrong, or any of the sort. HTSN reviewed over many previous trials over the years, and have found no such case where one was trialed for simply entering the Library/Temple. Damen has also not given any sources for his claim. Crimes have been committed having to deal with Moths, (leaking scrolls and the such) but never something as simple as this.
It should also be made note that non-moths have entered these places before, with no punishment.
While I’m at it, I believe execution was the wrong move to make as far as punishing Achilles, Achilles didn’t harm anyone, and his crime was victimless, such crimes should not be met with death, but forgiveness. Is it not one of our community values? Punishment for Achilles may have been needed, but not something of this magnitude. This only disunited the South and the CPPP even more.
Until Damen gives us our press passes back for this careless demotion, HTSN is going underground and discontinuing our news station. We’re very sorry it had to come to this.
As far as the trial, Reporter PolPot2 cut it a bit short; but the video footage we took will be supplied below once it’s published to YouTube.
Thank you for supporting us, we are sorry it has come to this.
PolPot from HTSN, it’s been a good one.

Fact check needs a fact check.

As a moth, I think I should speak about this situation.
Yes, Damen hasn't given any sources, but you haven't done that as well. Could you show us your sources and evidence?
This might seem simple but it's not. Achilles could have leaked a scroll, or done even worse... As a moth, I don't believe we can show mercy in this case. If we did, we would be insulting the scrolls and the entire moth council. We are here to protect the library, the temple, and the scrolls.
That doesn't make it less wrong. Right is right, wrong is wrong. Even if everyone was doing the wrong thing, it would still be wrong.
As I mentioned above, forgiving Achilles would be an insult to the wise moth council. Thus, it's not a victimless crime. We told him many times to leave the library, he was also sent out but came back. Moths protect the moth area, we can't let this sort of thing happen.

1. “Could you show us your evidence?” That’s not how this works, if you claim an event happened, it’s your responsibility to prove it, not mine. I’ve done my research over every documented trial I could find, I have found no such case, nor do I believe anyone else in this community recalls a case like this. Judging by your response, you don’t either.
2. “He could have leaked a scroll” but he didn’t. You guys really want to make yourselves victims in this. “I can’t believe we can show mercy in this case.” If you can’t show mercy for something this insanely small, I can’t believe you’re actually wises.
3. Stop excusing the death sentence of a man who hurt absolutely nobody. Nothing in this trial was done fairly, a wise picked by the admins and Nate himself tried to settle this without blood and Damen and you guys ignored him and cut him off to make such a careless decision. You want to know what’s an insult to the council? That. That’s an insult. Nothing about this trial was wise, only barbaric. I can only assume the worst to come.
