:13:02
He might've been telling
the truth, you know.
:13:04
Haven't you ever heard of
extenuating circumstances ?
:13:06
l've heard it all, Hershey.
:13:10
l knew you'd say that.
:13:16
My fellow Judges, have we forgotten
the lessons of history ?
:13:17
My fellow Judges, have we forgotten

:13:21
However quickly these
block wars can be contained,
:13:24
it's clear that
they're becoming an epidemic;
:13:27
an epidemic that should
be dealt with... immediately.
:13:31
The only solution
is a tougher criminal code.
:13:35
Our situation gets worse
every day.
:13:37
73 citizen riots in 16 different
sectors in the last two months alone.
:13:42
Violent crime is rising
at 15°/o every quarter.
:13:46
lf we don't increase
our resources,
:13:48
they will be inadequate
in less than three years.
:13:50
Three years ?
Our resources are inadequate now !
:13:53
My fellow Council members,
:13:55
as a city
we continue to grow,
:13:58
and growth is painful.
:14:00
Sixty-five million people living in
an area designed for no more than 20 !
:14:06
lt's not enough
that they rely on us...
:14:08
for food, clothes, water,
clean air..
:14:11
Chief Justice,
the city is in chaos !
:14:14
For social order,
we need tighter reins.
:14:17
lncarceration hasn't worked
as a deterrent.
:14:20
l say we expand execution
to include lesser crimes !
:14:26
My fellow Judges,
:14:27
l was barely in my teens
when l put on this badge.
:14:32
When the time comes for me
to take it off,
:14:34
please let me do so knowing that
it still stands for freedom...
:14:39
and not for repression.
:14:42
- 53 hospitalized.
:14:45
Nineteen dead, four of them
killed by a gang of squatters...
:14:49
who were themselves killed
in summary executions by Judge Dredd.
:14:52
As my special undercover
report continues,
:14:55
l will take you behind the
scenes at the Halls of Justice...
:14:59
for a disturbing probe into
these recent riots and block wars.
