been accused of a crime is ‘an innocent person’.”

Technically, that would be “a PRESUMED innocent person”. People are wrong when they say someone IS innocent until proven guilty. This guy is guilty with so many eyewitnesses at the scene.

Anyhow, I’m sure this guy and Israel are now BFFs. The shooter did what he was told, voted Rat, and has received some sort of compensation for it.

Ih, puhleeze, let’s not play the semantics game. I was CLEARLY talking about his legal status, not whether he is innocent or guilty in the metaphysical sense.

What the presumption of innocence means is that the person in question, having merely been charged with a crime, can be treated no differently than a person who has not been charged, not until convicted. So, for example, they can register to vote and cast a ballot. No one has to like it in any given circumstances, and no normal person likes it in the case of this particular evil and depraved monster, but it actually protects all of us. Otherwise, we are all Kavanaugh, without half of the country having our back.

I am still, and will remain, disgusted by Scott Israel.

That all being said, I will reiterate what I stated earlier in the thread, that we should be far more upset that the evil SOB at issue has not yet faced trial and been properly convicted of the multiple crimes of which he is do clearly guilty.
