    There’s confusion. I’ve maintained that to me, the goalpost is conviction. I cited an article that’s less damning for sure but I still motivate my goalpost by principles, not examples. It’s simpler to rely on an already established baseline, which is the justice system’s convictions, and I’m okay if that means that sometimes, a very plausibly guilty man benefits from undeserved anonimity

      But you know, every time I say that homeowners should indeed face jailtime for shooting a fleeting burglar in the back I face the same people with the same arguments

      Homeowners who murder people should be thrown in jail.

      Pedophiles should be thrown in jail.

      Very easy and simple to say.

      I don’t understand how you gotta keep running defense for pedophiles.
