- close04 7y agoI was always puzzled by how laws that treat cases where the same person is both victim and culprit for the very same thing work. Is a failed suicide treated as attempted murder?
- lonelappde 7y agoIt's prosecutors who choose vases to prosecute. Usually prudish, slut-shaming, patriarchal, myaogynistic prosecutors.
- RHSeeger 7y agoThe problem is that there will _always_ be prosecutors that abuse their power. It's the nature of people. It just so happens that certain professions abusing their power are far more devastating to the people they impact (lawyers, police, etc). As such, we should be making laws that are harder for them to abuse. We have many "we'll give them more power, so they can use it where needed and just not abuse it" laws that constantly get abused.
