Even if the guys were not successfully prosecuted a good public service was done. I’m a strong believer in public shaming. Worked well for prior generations of Americans. And what is more shaming than having every single person you know and tens of millions of Americans watch you busted for being a sex pervert on national TV?
“I’m a strong believer in public shaming.”
The problem with that is since there are ‘advocates’ for everything from sex w/boys (NAMBLA), murdering the unborn, unwed mothers, free sex, drug use...on and on, NOTHING is shameful any more.
Yes...we need to raise the bar on shame. It used to be all about ‘us’ as a community. Now it is all about ‘ME’. Sad commentary on where our society is now.
Exactly. The punishment is imposed at the time of arrest. The people are not prosecuted prior to punishment. There is not opportunity for defense prior to punishment.
This is a kangaroo court. In fact, it's not even a kangaroo court.
