Everyone is due the presumption of innocence — until proven guilty. Christie at the beach, and others here, seem to have forgotten that. What’s next — mobs in the streets firebombing businesses?
This scandal has already cost Cosby millions of dollars — that’s equivalent to leveling a huge financial penalty through an extra-judicial process. If he’s guilty, then he deserves severe penalties. Very severe penalties. Meanwhile, I’m reserving judgment, and I’m not apologizing for that.
There’s a huge difference between defending due process, and defending the (alleged) perpetrator. Given the number of times that conservative political candidates, or conservative organizations (e.g. the Tea Party) have been “tried” in the media — and especially considering the number of times that the accusations were eventually proven false — I would think that Freepers would be amongst the greatest defenders of due process.
Thank you for the love.
That only applies to legal proceedings. This is not a court of law.
