the real scary thing is people with that mind set actually do exist. And some occupy high public office and have a real constituency that supports them. Just substitute some other hot button topic for witchiness.
I want to ask Mr Vogel exactly how many times he’s implemented this method with any degree of success… cause it didn’t seem to accomplish a damn thing in Serenity’s case except make her mad. The one dangerous witch we’ve heard about wasn’t overcome by the whole sturm und drang thing, but by one sniper shot.
I bet Mr Vogel gets terrible nightmares. (And that he’s inspired a few in his day)
my first thot was that those *weren’t* bags under his eyes….. i doubt Merrick’s the *only* witchburned SSI agent. and he *did* mention that he didn’t quite escape Sera’s place unscathed……. Consider yourself lucky, Mr. Vogel, that Sera was basically a nice kid even then.
I wonder if anyone in power has ever suggested maybe keeping in touch with witches, making sure they’re ok, y’know, FRIENDLY contact? just ’cause, well, it worked with Atlan…..
I bet his show is like watching a fat Glenn Beck, only with more crying and the show ends with a moderately large cake being consumed in the end.
“The Witches are in like with the liberals! I’m so sad for America! *WAAAAAAAAAAH!* Johnny, get my another slice of cake–you know what, F*** IT! give me the entire damn thing! OM NOM NOM! What are you looking at, cameraman! TURN THE CAMERA OFF! DON’T LOOK AT ME! I don’t want the world to see what a fat disgusting pig I’ve become. I SAID TURN IT OFF! TURN THAT F***ING THING OFF”–(transmission interrupted: Please Stand By)
So I have decided to take an unbiased look at this page.
That said, I think that one some of this…the man has a few points made, here. There is no denying, witches have a high potential for being really, truly dangerous. Look at Rivet Hed. Look at STILETTA. I’m sure that there have also been a number of past cases where a witch went postal. And there should be someone around who can deal with them when this happens.
Contrariwise, we must look into the psyche of he who hunts monsters. If this man did not already have biases towards witches, he quite obviously has them now. He will attack any deemed ‘dangerous’, rightly or not, with guns blazing, remorseless even if he were proven wrong, I am sure. He also seems to consider those close to the witches to either be likewise dangerous or amoral, or that they should have the witch removed from their lives ‘for their own good.’ Furthermore, as someone said, what if the powers tried to keep up friendly contact with the witches? made sure they were alright, instill programs that preserved their privacy (I’m lookin’ at you, Mayor of Crestfallen), spread public awareness that they aren’t just hell-born monsters, and so on? Things would probably be…quite a bit more peaceful.
Anyway, my New Baddy radar is pinging. I wonder if Mr/ Vogel will be heard from soon…possibly in relation to a likely Sera v SSI showdown of some sort?
y’know, i can think of lots of other “existential threats to our race”….. can even think of times phrases like that have been used much more hyperbolically……. so really, just how much of a threat does a mindset like mr. Vogel’s constitute? relatively speaking…….
So you have people that can crush tanks, withstand attacks from high-end weaponry, conjure up huge armies, and might even be immortal. Now think reeeeeeal hard-like what your strategy should be. Because, y’know, the obvious one I’d come up with is “don’t piss them off”…
Mr. Vogel…..I don’t like you. not one bit.
ah, fear. the root of all hatred.
“chop the fatty bias from your prime cut of news” Im speechless ha ha
The real scary thing is, you can sort of see his point.
the real scary thing is people with that mind set actually do exist. And some occupy high public office and have a real constituency that supports them. Just substitute some other hot button topic for witchiness.
oops sorry, reality<=off
mr.vogel seems to really hate witchs now doesn’t he?
dude what a d-bag
That man has had some baad times.
Holy crap the bags under that guys eyes have they’re own bags. Must suck to believe you’re saving the world and nobody understands.

Jeez, attitude much? The Jury was totally right and he knows it.
He’s not bitter is he?
So, the idea of using Tess as a hostage is gonna work?
All Sera has to do is pluck the gun and the Tess from his hands with her mind.
Then..well… It won’t be pretty. Well, actually it might, because she probably STILL wouldn’t do something like that to someone.

Bless that brave man.
The only good witch is a dead witch.
He sounds like a Col. Jessup wannabe. And his motivation/justification is just as Evil.
DOUCHE. BAG.
Barring old age, the “by surprise” method IS the best way to kill a witch.
Mr. Vogel is, unfortunately, the last person who should be in charge of any such operation. -text redacted to prevent flamewar.-
And to conclude this rant: I. Miss. Welcome to Statickland!
Please Bring Back Welcome To Statickland!
Dickless manchild. Don’t fuck with the Sera, man, and REALLY don’t fuck with her family and friends.

Oh an I can agree with bringing Humbly back. I miss those little asides!
Dude I dig his eye bags!
