The Sisterhood doesn't have carte blanche to do whatever they want. If they had compelling evidence about the Principal it might be a different story, but they aren't there yet. And they need to consider their image and publicity.
Plus, Ruth handling the Principal now would totally take that victory away from a future MC.
Fine, yes. I meant that she wouldn't have let him go; and if she got handsy, and sometimes she can't quite control her strength... Anyway, even if he got away, knowing the Sisters are watching him, he'd flee or be too scared to plot against MC. Also, they'd have proof, unless that weirdo can't be called as witness.
I wouldn't be so sure about that, we've already seen Moonsong bend the rules to her liking several times. Let's say it comes to a "clash" between the principal (lower middle class government employee?) vs. Lady Steel & Moonsong (the poster child) and Parker (money and influence)... my money's not on the principal
This seems to me to be the real reasonPlus, Ruth handling the Principal now would totally take that victory away from a future MC.
Honestly, I agree that leaving him for MC is probably the biggest reason.
Aside from the whole blackmail thing ofc. (which is more than enough for Parker & Evelyn already...) IMO the school would be a much happier place in general if Ms Ross were in charge of it anyway.
Sure, but in the moment we're talking about, taking him down would have likely resulted on the two assholes not being sent to the Farm. The MTF was going to be on the way to do that at the command of the Principal, which seems less likely to happen if Ruth takes him out.
If they had shown us a tougher grip on the Sisterhood, I would be completely with you, but there was practically no question about Lady Steel literally squashing a guy up on a pool table.
A meta that had just tried to kill her and sexually assault another woman, which is a very different circumstance than a normie Principal abusing some of his power. And she had to go manage press fallout for a while related to it, if I remember correctly.
Didn't the 2 guys that got away from the bar, go harass Lake at the store asking where their friend was? If Steel had to manage press fallout over this incident, how do his friends not know about it?
They can't be that bright - trying to rape someone in a bar that's open and has customers, and even turned out to have CCTV (which they might not have known, but should have at least considered...)
That had more to do with her "masturbation" than the murder. Literaly nobody seems to give a damn about the Sisterhood's "justice with attitude". Ruth murdered a bunch of dudes in cold blood, and they got her out of jail, gave her a hammer and turned her into a rockstar, after all. Besides, if PR could hide Georgia's sexcapades, they can handle one FUBAR normie principal.
Didn't somebody get an afternoon off early on because one of the teachers had pissed someone off and got themselves teleported halfway around the world? Seems like if that's a thing hiding bodies shouldn't be too much of an issue...
Managing press fallout also means making sure that word of her killing the guy doesn't become a scandal or the lead story. Yes, directly it was all about the "public masturbation," but I'm sure part of it was just managing press about the incident in general so people stop talking about it.
