Judge Dredd

A link on the Judge Dredd page takes us here, to this entirely unrelated page. Should it be removed? It's located at the beginning of the "Family and Friends" section, in the first paragraph. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.111.167.39 (talk) 06:51, 8 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

NO. The reference is to Judge Dredd, an over the top "dirty harry" type character who is portrayed as cold, heartless, and utterly ruthless in enforcing the law, and is used in a single moment of emotion where Dredd has had to kill his own brother, who had become a criminal. This single reference is a joke by the writers of the comic, but ultimately shows that Dredd is human after all. Granted it's a comic book character, but often fiction tells us more about who we are and who we should strive to be.

If you read or listen to the lyrics, it's a powerful song.
