Re: Did any other supporting characters have a Punisher?

Here' s the way I see it :So, the town just draws in people with secrets/darkness in their hearts, puts them thru their therapy, but knows in advance who will succumb to fantasy over reality? I'm not following.
The town has no volition of it' s own, it' s merely a mirror which reflects people' s inner psyche. James has some mitigating circumstances (that' s what HE thinks anyway). He doesn' t wish punishment, he wishes atonement. The cell bars, PH, Maria, they' re all born from that wish. Eddie seems more focused on vengeance, while Angela seems to look for punishment. She walks through a burning staircase without dying. I think Angela is here to suffer, she thinks even death wouldn' t be hard enough a punishment.
"Mama! Mama, I was looking for you. ... Now you’re the only one left. Maybe then.... Maybe then I can rest."
"Tank you for saving me but ... I wish you hadn' t. Even Mama said it. I deserve what happened."
Angela wishes to be forgiven, but at the same time she thinks no one will deem her worthy of forgiveness. James does, maybe she does, but none of that matters, absolution has to come from one member of her family. Since the town reflects her inner psyche she' ll never get it. If she has stalkers then I imagine she sees them as unforgiving family members (some also being abusive/rapist).
As for Eddie he' s only looking for vengeance. He ' s stalked by inoffensive laughing figures lining up for being shot. James wasn' t someone materialized by the town, sooo ... not that inoffensive ! ^^
