Just a little bit

  To be fair Janeway wasn’t around at the time, so they didn’t have any examples of genocide to go off of.

  If the Federation was in the business of putting higher beings on trial, don’t you think the second they learned Q was human they’d slap him in a courtroom so fast it’d make his head spin?

      Q was turned into a human by other Q. It lasted for an episode

      If these are spoilers you are about 30 years behind.

      Q

      Two that I can remember: Q got temporarily kicked out of the continuum, also when Q got banished in the asteroid and Janeway let him out, he became human, then committed suicide.

  I mean, I sort of imagine it to be less the “rule on the books” part, and more the “do we actually have the physical capacity to enforce those rules” end of it. They cant really imprison him (I mean while he’s feeling guilty he might stay willingly, but they cant keep him in if he eventually changes his mind, so itd more be him imprisoning himself). Trying to despite the futility of it would seem somewhat dangerous, because again, if he should ever change his mind, you clearly dont want to seem hostile to something with that kind of power, especially when you dont have it. Saying “Our law is not sufficient for you” could just be interpreted as the most diplomatic way given his mental state to justify leaving and not returning.

  That guy put himself in solitary confinement, forever. What could the feddies do to him that is more fitting?

  Shut up, Wesley! We must be circumspect with those who could visit genocide upon US with a thought. Also, don’t bring up how often I challenged Q when he could have done the same or I’ll just tell you to shut up again.

  The dude snapped when he’s loved ones were killed, that is considered exculpatory of violent actions in almost all legal systems. The difference is that instead of a knife or a gun he had almost omnipotent powers of destruction.

  In an ideal society he would get psychological counseling to deal with the trauma and ensure it doesn’t happen again, but I think it’s obvious he was a bit above Troi’s pay grade.

  “What is your kind called?”

  “We are Ferengi.”
