[Faith Presses On]

“Are you in favor of criminally punishing them not on the basis of their actual intent, which was to do good, but on the basis of the outcome?”
Absolutely! BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT THEY DO TO EVERYONE ELSE!!!!
Or do you not believe that we’re all supposed to be equal before the law?

Everyone else? What are you talking about? The evidence doesn't in any way support what you say, so I can't even imagine what you're talking about it.

Why should I worry about the INTENT of the cops when they break the law when they don’t care about YOUR intent?

If you shoot someone because you’re in fear for your life and the person turns out to be totally innocent of anything then your ass is going to prison. Period.

But they can break into your home without a warrant, throw a hand grenade in your baby’s crib (nearly killing it), and then beat the hell out of you for ‘resisting arrest’ and when they find out they had the wrong house all that matters is their ‘intent’.

And that actually happened.

You try that and see if your ‘intent’ stops the police from beating the hell out of you when they catch you and if it stops the DA from trying to put you away for life.
