it’s why i think people who lie about crimes are worse than real criminals are. they delibertely mislead everyone, they make divisiveness and put grous against groups for lies, and wrongfully inflate a problem just because they want to draw attention to something that didn’t even happen.
it is sick, calculating, manipulative, and turns people against other people for nothing. for a lie. and it adds a layer of mistrust to people who genuinely suffer something terrible. they can destroy people’s careers and lives, jail people on lies.
they should get at least the same sentence a real criminal would, maybe more for lying and deceving the court, destroying peoples’ reputations, being jailed.
