My version is more like:
First (well, not actually first, as newspapers get sued all the time) they came for Gawker, and I said nothing, because Gawker was actually wrong and I believe justice was made.
- austenallred 9y agoThat saying works much better for genocide than it does actual crimes. > First they came for the child molesters Doesn't have the same ring to it

- saint_fiasco 9y agoSure it does. Say it like this: First they came for the child molesters... Then the murderers... Then the drug dealers... ... Then the drug abusers... Then the 'soft on crime' dissidents... Then the 'rule of law' activists... We have laws that protect the rights of child molesters and terrorists to have fair trials because those laws protect us as well.
