True conservatives will refrain from projecting Alec Baldwin guilty simply because we rightly find his politics repugnant. Speak only for yourself.
I see "tit-for-tat" as a perfectly appropriate response to Leftists.
"True Conservatives" consistently lose because they pretend that if they follow "the rules", the Leftists will follow the same "rules". The Leftists never follow "the rules" if they are inconvenient. It is a mistake to give Leftists the benefit of the doubt and rationalize this as "due process".
Besides, even without my personal bias against Alec Baldwin, it is perfectly clear that he willfully violated long-established industry standard safety procedures for handling firearms on a set. The charge of "Involuntary Manslaughter" is a reasonble, minumum effort by the DA.
Yes, I would be very pleased if Alec Baldwin is convicted.
"True Conservatives" consistently lose because they pretend that if they follow "the rules", the Leftists will follow the same "rules". The Leftists never follow "the rules" if they are inconvenient. It is a mistake to give Leftists the benefit in your arguments the doubt and rationalize this as "due process". I detect a bit of sleight-of-hand in your assertions. Observing the elements of the law is more than following "the rules" as opposed to yielding one's adversary "the benefit" of an argument. The elements needed to prove a crime are fundamental, hence, without adherence to them true conservatives will "consistently lose" regardless of whether they win a case or not.
For the idea of conservatism is to adhere to a rule of law rather than to submit to tyranny on the one hand or to run with the mob on the other. There is no refuge for us but the rule of law. Leftists are not encumbered with this burden, they simply want to win the argument or the case.
We alone can lose by winning the wrong way.
