THE FANDOM ZONE 319: "Isle of Joy" Is Up!

 
"We put Poindexter away and it changes nothing, all right? We defend Hector Ayala and he's still murdered, probably by the same cops who are out there assaulting citizens, by the way, all right? Leroy Bradford goes away for eating a box of caramel corn. Heather's assaulted by Muse and she thinks Fisk is right. And now this asshоlе, this privileged sociopath, can get away with ripping off teachers. We're not serving justice here, you know? We're babysitting chaos. This, us, what...what we do, it feels useless."
