To make such an extraordinary stretch; you need to provide some serious evidence or to redefine 'not dissimilar'. ISIL kills innocent people, the US executes innocent people, therefore, by the same definition, the two justice systems are 'not dissimilar'. But they are very dissimilar.
- rdancer 11y agoLet's see: An extra-judicial hearing, in front of a panel of laymen with no training, rampant perjury without consequence, guilt standard nominally preponderance of evidence — but in practice it depends because of all the above. I'd say they're more than similar, no stretching needed.
- hackuser 11y agoThose are assertions, not evidence. Also, we don't know much about the thing you're comparing it to.
