WuWei:

You are not a criminal until you have been tried and convicted.

A criminal is a criminal regardless of whether or not they are caught.

Once they are tried and convicted, then they are convicted criminals.

Who judged them, you?

If someone commits a crime, they are a criminal. That’s the definition of criminal.

It doesn’t matter if they’re caught at it or not.

If they are caught, and are convicted, then they are a convicted criminal.

If they are not convicted, even though they are guilty, they are still a criminal.

Who’s “we”? If there’s a way for me to know who liked your post please share.

ETA: Forget I asked. Someone helpful already answered.

So am I still special?

Figure out how to change the thread title?

Who helped you leap back from your accusations?

Did I say you were special?

WuWei:

No, but I now know it can be done.

WuWei:

Not you and it was just a question.

Didn’t you?

Well, bless your heart.

I know it wasn’t me, who was it? Sure it was “just a question”.

lessright:

Some are more equal than others.

Don’t see no question mark there. Plenty of mealy though.

lessright · 2020-05-04T04:51:42.710Z

It started with a question. It only got mealy when I got mealy non-answers.

I’m not here to serve you.

lessright · 2020-05-04T04:57:12.767Z

As far as I’m concerned, most of the time you’re not here at all.

Well, that’s a shame. Next time you might try “please”. Keeping a civil tongue tends to work pretty well.

WuWei:

Is exercising that right perceived as an admission of guilt?

Nope but everything you say can be used against you.

Absolutely wrong. Refuse to talk and they automatically assume you are guilty and will then hammer down on your head until you cave.

That’s not necessarily true either. What was uncivil about this?

lessright:

How do you know who liked someone else’s post?

bigtwnvin · 2020-05-04T12:00:43.466Z

To those accusing you of a crime? Perhaps, but lawyers worth their salt argue before the court otherwise.

It is with me.

The tone. The context. The implication stemming from my most excellent thread on the Chicago policeman shooting evidenced in your very next response.

How about to the jury and public opinion?

Based on this thread, a whole bunch of people should rethink their position on the kneelers.

Why is that, not that I disagree?
