> Really, youre going to go there? Youre really going to be that silly? We are not talking about a legal court of law here, are we?
You called LHO guilty. Let me check, did you actually make that assertion?
> Yes, he was guilty.
Yes, you did make that assertion— without any qualification.
I find nothing particularly silly about noting that someone is declaring someone else guilty of murder without a trial.
You are now using semantics, dancing squirrels, table-banging, and other bafflegab to walk back your assertion. ok, good luck.
> On the other hand, OJ was found not guilty...
This is historically factual (at least at the criminal court level).
> but he killed two people.
Possibly. However, i wonder what is your constructive point (if any) (if i may, please allow me to express my doubt that you have one). OJ should have been shot while in policy custody a la LHO? OJ case justifies vigilante justice? State sanctioned death squads?
Actually, you used the word guilty first. I never wrote that he was found guilty in a court of law, did I?
GUILTY
adjective
culpable of or responsible for a specified wrongdoing.
“he was found guilty of manslaughter”
Opposite:
innocent
justly chargeable with a particular fault or error.
“she was guilty of a serious error of judgment”
conscious of or affected by a feeling of guilt.
“John felt guilty at having deceived the family”
John shouldnt have felt so bad, he was never convicted, right?
OJ should have been shot while in policy custody a la LHO? OJ case justifies vigilante justice? State sanctioned death squads?
The silliness is compounding exponentially, to use a popular phrase thats going around.
> The silliness is compounding exponentially, to use a popular phrase thats going around.
You were the person who brought up OJ in support of your logic.
I’m just responding to the expressed illogic. Or silliness, as you may choose to call it. Whatever. Are you running in a popularity contest? Do you look good in a bikini?
> Actually, you used the word guilty first.
Let us be clear. I merely sought a clarification from you. You responded by confirming that LHO was guilty.
> Yes, he was guilty.
Then you immediately added
> No, he didnt get a trial. So no conviction.
and thus dug yourself a deeper hole.
> I never wrote that he was found guilty in a court of law, did I?
Look back at what you wrote and (if you want to, i don’t care) tell me what other possible context there could be.
You seem to be blaming me for merely seeking a clarification of what you meant. Then you are drawing a very narrow semantic distinction. Words have meanings. Next, maybe you will be discussing the various usages of the word “is.” LOL.
The context is a discussion on a message board. Not a court of law. Im sorry you cant see the obvious.
Why are you so focused on semantics anyway? Do you dwell on such trivialities to avoid facing the fact that all evidence points to Oswalds guilt?
Was John Wilkes Booth not guilty because he never had a trial?
> The context is a discussion on a message board. Not a court of law. Im sorry you cant see the obvious.
So... IOW you were just venting?! You did not mean what you wrote? Despite the legal context that you supplied?
Maybe you should stick to bikini contests, who knows? you might do better! I’m sure you look cute btw in a bikini. LOL
> Do you dwell on such trivialities to avoid facing the fact that all evidence points to Oswalds guilt?
Oh my, you drift in and out of legal frame when it suits you.
Hey buddy. “The context is a discussion on a message board. Not a court of law. Im sorry you cant see the obvious.”
I hear bikini contests are continually in search of new “talent.” You really should consider applying. You sound as if you are missing your true calling in life. LOL
Excuse me but right now I’m trying to follow the WH Covid-19 conference in real time. I might have to ignore you from here out. Don’t take it personally. LOL
I never take the ramblings of the demented personally.
