To: Round 9

A report is insufficient for conviction. You see, we used to have these funny things called courts and juries and due process and other assorted inconveniences. Thankfully, we got rid of them in the early 21st century, so we don’t have to wait before punishing hundreds and hundreds of tangentially associated folk who may or may not have known a thing. Welcome to our Brave New World! Yeehaw!

The burden of proof for job firings isn’t reasonable doubt, or even preponderance of the evidence.

I suspect that what you are trying to convey is this:

That if guilt by association becomes the trend, we can all be held accountable for any crime within our sphere of contact.

This is indeed a heinous crime. One that is highly emotional. Often laws are enacted on the public emotion. This crime may be used as example for the rest of us to have to prove we are not criminals or associates of criminals. Adding to the list of other already time consuming activities we have in order to prove we are not criminals.

You may want to explain yourself better if this is the case, because no one is listening. You have appeared in several posts to be defending the perps. In this case, the associates are accessories.
