============================================================================
Advanced engine needed  : ZDoom 2.2.0 or later
Primary purpose         : Single+Coop play / No levels included
============================================================================

Inspired by "Judge Dredd: The Exo-Men" in progs 111/112 of 2000AD...

Meet the scourge of law-abiding societies...

The Sympathiser!

You don't dare ask if this guy is "some sort of bleeding-heart liberal"
   ... because he *is*! This punk doesn't care how many victims a criminal
   has murdered, tortured or abused; only that the agressor's rights are
   held to be more important than those of their victims. He believes that
   even demons can be rehabilitated; anyway, they had a tough childhood
   and their mothers probably didn't love them! Although unarmed, in
   the long term this creep is definitely more dangerous to society than
   all the terrorists, drug-dealers and armed robbers put together!!

Get out your Lawgiver, er SSG, and sentence him to death :)
