- Please Rise for the Reddit jury. - yelled one of the guards. 
 
 The jury with the help of his wodden cane walked slowly into the courtroom. One of the guards tried to help him but quickly resigned after jury gave him an angry look. After few long minutes, the jury finally took his place behind the raised desk and told everyone to sit down with a gesture of his old wrinkly hand. 
 
 - Yes, yes. What have we here now. - he said to himself. - Ah yes, the downvote case. I remember. - he nodded, altough this was already second day of the process, he already forgot. - You. - he said pointing at the lawyer. 
 - Yes your honor? 
 - Could you please remind who you are? 
 - I am the public defender your honor. - he answered like he could n't belive jury could ask him such a question. After all he called him the worst defendant in his entire career he had seen, just yesterday. If his memory span was just as long as it is now, no wonder, every defendant he sees is the best and the worst one he remembers. 
 - Do you have a line of defense? 
 - Yes your honor. - What the fuck, I just presented it yesterday, he thought. His client eighteen years old Matthew did n't even flinch, that's because he was n't listening. 
 - Well go on then. - he said waving his hand like he wanted to swat a fly that was bothering him whole afternoon. 
 - Ok then. - he murmured and walked out from behind his desk and stood in front of the juries. - As you can see Matthew is a young boy, he is not a criminal. He did what every boy did when he was a kid, he did what every teenager did when he was a teenager. Nothing wrong with that. He is not a criminal. He is the victim. The victim of ludicrous new law introduced by the elders of reddit. The elders, the elders that are so out of contact with the world, they wanted to ban the pictures of cats on reddit not long time ago. Yes, you heard me right - he said as loud rumble went through the courtroom. 
 - Objection. - yelled the prosecutory madly, hitting his hands against the desk. 
 - Sustained. You will not spread lies in here about the elders, not in here, not in my court. - said the jury with eyes filled with rage, first time he looked like he was n't about to die. 
 - Yes your honor. The new law simply may not continue, you know what this boy did was not wrong. 
 - Let me stop you right there. - said the judge. - Let me read you this excerpt to refresh your memory and you will judge whether he did something wrong or not. `` On 3rd of July of year 2004 at the age of six, Matthew shat himself during the preparations for the independence day. Every and each of his classmates downvoted him for this act and described it as disguisting and repulsive. His teacher, god have mercy on her soul has downvoted him aswell'', saying that I quote'that little shit has lived up to his name'. 
 - Your honor, six year olds surely do n't use words like repulsive. 
 - Their words not mine. Now please let me continue. `` At the age of fourteen he went through a phase when he wanted to be a comedian, for the whole grade he was telling jokes and not the funny ones. He was massively downvoted. Only few people upvoted him, they never visited reddit.'' The list goes on and on. Now let me ask you, do you think this boy deserves our mercy? Do you really think this animal deserves to live? Or are you defending him because it's simply your job as a public defendant? 
 - Your honor, you must understand. I do n't get to pick who I represent. - he said resigned. - Believe me I would rather defend him if he was a killer. - he added looking at Matthew with disgust, who still has n't listened to a word that was said, he was playing with his phone. 
 - Yes yes. I see. I do n't think there is a reason we should continue this masquarade. - said the judge and all the juries nodded agreeing aswell as the public defendant did. - Matthew, please stand up. 
 - Me? Ok. - he said. 
 - I hereby sentence you to death by downvotes.
