    I know I’m commenting from different country, but the following quote by a judge in Australia is always worth keeping in the back of your head if you manage to get let off a serious crime…

    Having escaped the lion’s den, Mr Lehrmann made the mistake of coming back for his hat

    That was a line said by a judge in Australia during his conclusion of a very high profile rape case.

    The story,

    Bruce Lehrmann faced charges of rape. This case was very big in Australia because the rape occurred in an office at Parliament House and the government covered it up because there was an election coming up.

    The criminal trial was abandoned because the case was having a very detrimental effect on the victim’s mental health.

    Later, Bruce Lehrmann sued a number of journalists for defamation… And lost… So now Bruce Lehrmann is forever branded a rapist. The judge delivered the above quote during his final decision.

      While I love that scenario, I think the likelier outcome in this case is that a lot of taxpayer money goes straight towards energising brownshirts.

      They settled with the family of that woman that disobeyed a direct lawfully given order from a cop, to the tune of millions of dollars.

      So, yes, they absolutely will pay them. In fact, this is a “legal” way for the government to fund them.

        Yeah, let’s just keep taking the moral high road. Eventually shitty people will just stop existing. There’s no reason to actively work on removing them. 🥴

        Shit will keep flowing into a sewage treatment plant if you don’t treat the sewage. In the end you just end up with a mountain of shit to deal with and the problem is much more difficult to manage.

            I think it’s moreso that people misunderstand what you’re implying. That making them “martyrs” is a good thing to help identify more pieces of shit that rally behind their martyrdom.
