I believe in innocent until proven guilty.
However, with the justice system working with a kiss to the perps, we conservatives are pretty tired.
We are a bunch of people letting out our anger on a website.
For those who are talking about hanging high and such, you are assuming that this means immediately with no trial. Those of us with like minds know that we mean “when found guilty”.
And the person who did this to a six-year-old, when proven guilty, does not deserve a slap on the wrist, a short jail term and a release to live in a neighborhood with other kids. But that seems to happen too much.

Then, with due respect ma’am, rather than gassing on a website, why don’t you and your tired conservative mates get off your collective arses and do something about it?
I did, and it changed my life forever.
And, having done so, it has refreshed my belief in “innocent until proven guilty” and has given me the right to take exception to people taking short-cuts around a very sensible legal safeguard.
And it has given me a very healthy dislike for the Bad Guys.

Thanks for stating some of my case. I did my own post because DieHard was such an ass about things but it is pretty clear that we all mean AFTER trial and people on a website do not have to hew to standards of due process, which is merely in place to ensure the State must prove its case against the accused not a universal right of the accused to be believed innocent UNTIL some ‘magic’ crossover point in the trial where we are allowed to believe he or she is guilty.
I see DNA (and you can get results like the odds of a match being 1-in-10 billion or thereabouts, which to me means a certain match,) child pornography, proximity to the crime and other issues contributing to a belief that the guy is guilty.
It’s funny because as a poster I’m probably known as the opposite of what DieHard suggests. Perhaps he’s more interested in railing against something because he personally experienced the criminal justice system or did work in defending the wrongly accused.
