Judge Roy Moore: The Salem Witch Trials meets Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
In 1682, the outrageous and proof-less accusations of three hysterical girls led to the executions of 20 innocent men and women charged with witchcraft. No proof from anyone, but the leaders cried, “If they said it, it must be true. They wouldn’t lie!”
“Sentence first—verdict afterwards,” said the Queen in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
Apparently that’s now how we do things in the U.S.
Good analogy. Sentence first, verdict afterward
The water test for witches—If they floated, they were a witch and were burned at the stake, if they sank and drowned they were innocent.
Judge Moore, you have 24 hours to prove a negative or prove the unprovable otherwise you’re finished. Guilty. /rolleyes
