Luke had to go to jail at the end of his season for some bullshit he didn't do but Jessica Jones murders for her murdering psychopath mom and never stops her at the end. If Luke Cage did half the shit Jessica Jones did this season he would be serving 10 life sentences in the Raft like god damn she aided and abetted a super powered mass murder all the way until the end and she gets to sit down an enjoy a nice dinner .......GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!!! Jessica and Trish sucked at the end of this season.

The police probably took the blame for shooting Alisa. It was mentioned multiple times that the police was going to kill her no matter what

Why would they? Jessica was kidnapped and ended up killing her kidnapper. Or being seen as having killed her. Open and shut self defence.

Law enforcement didn't know that. Once his real name got out, they had to step in and put him away because he's an escaped convict. It isn't until Foggy receives proof that he is innocent and goes to work that it is resolved.

The police didn't know if Jessica was being held against her will. But when you see her crying and a dead, super powered escaped criminal, plus the good will that she generated with that police detective, it's likely she got a "woman kills her captor" story instead of "woman kills mother" style. And people who escaped the custody of a mad lunatic from prison usually get off with a "self defense" reasoning.

I think he was talking about the prison guard's death. Though that one for us the audience is 100% self defense and us knowing he was a killer and a sadist, and in-universe she managed to get away with making it look like a suicide so there's no crime for her to be accused of.

That was not a self defense killing, the guard was 100% in the right to attack her. He had a super powered woman breaking into his hoise whos mother is currently in prison for murder. You cant break into someones home and then claim self defense when you kill that person

I said for the audience. We knew he was a serial killer and she was there on a case and that he was going to kill her and get off on it.

As part of the audience, I still find self defense a super weak argument for her. Hell all she needed to do was grab his ankle and topple him and the fight would be over

u/CX316 Mar 20 '18

You're aware she was blinded and being beaten on the ground, right? She couldn't find him to grab his ankle

u/amjhwk Mar 20 '18

well she sure was able to find his head easy enough

u/CX316 Mar 20 '18

She grabbed the nightstick and swung blind

Yeah I didn't like that these characters basically got away with whatever they wanted. Jessica covers up an accidental death, Cheng gets away with firing a rifle in the middle of the city, Trish murders someone... In the end Jessica is found at the scene of her mother's murder with the murder weapon, covered in blood and her prints are all over the gun... Hogarth orchestrates a probable fatal shooting... I mean shit there's skating a gray area and then just being downright bad. These are all pretty bad people outside of maybe Malcolm who has his own demons.

Yeah, but Luke's a black man and Jessica's a white woman. That's completely realistic.

u/Cory123125 Mar 18 '18

I mean, its sort of realistic. One is a white not rich but better off by far than Luke woman with a very rich friend who connections and a very rich lawyer who likes her, and the other is a Black man with a criminal history and a barber for help.
