Yeah that's exactly it. The child may very well be on the brink of death and there's still not an exception to let him use any medication at all? Sounds like the hounds are just using their authority to hoard supplies for themselves, and are using fear of corporal punishment to control people's response.
There may very well be backlash on anyone who doesn't vote yes at these "trials".

Exactly, and is the medication they have only for the hounds? So anyone else is just supposed to stay sick? What's the purpose of this settlement at all, why let these other ppl in yk?
And yes agreed like everyone voting yes for a father to get beaten to death with a bat for taking some medicine seems a bit sus...
I
Everyone had their own opinion abt this whivh is fine ofc but like...when you rationalise this punishment...that's the point of all these apocalypse movies and series etc? To show how easily and quickly some ppl forget their humanity and morals and ethics and excuse violent behaviour with it being necessary?
Like ok their "hounds" needing medicine bc they're out there gathering supplies is fine but what's the point if the ppl they're supposed to gather it for get sick and/or die?
And the punishment could have easily been him being put in a room by himself for a month with limited food and no contact with his son...
Like in these scenarios it's kinda weird in a way just killing off ppl willy nilly...like there's bot many of us left and were trying to survive as best we can but hey! Let's kill off ppl for things that could have been dealt with in basically any other way!
Lol i know this is a bit much speculation for a manwha i suppose but I think it's interesting how many thought it was fine to kill this father for taking some medicine for his sick child?
Not attacking anyone here just think it's interesting how we all think abt these things
