I catch you anally raping a ten year old boy, I won’t need a court conviction, you’ll be dead so you can’t ever do that evil again. Your efforts to deflect from the heinous nature of these deeds tells us a lot about you and your ‘transactional taboo’ structure: there is nothing you would personally try to stop until a court conviction is in hand, is that correct? That’s the position you’ve taken on this thread.
Vitriol much?
If the man is found guilty, then he must be punished to the fullest extent.
I’ve just known too many people who are accused of ugly sexual conduct (e.g., Herman Cain), and those accusations are later shown to be baseless. Meanwhile, reputations are destroyed.
Our typical response to accusations should be patience, and the presumption of innocence.
