Clearly bad people? Once YOU decided someone is bad, they are guilty by default of anything? This is how the courts worked back in the day in Germany with Jews.

Clearly bad people? Once YOU decided someone is bad, they are guilty by default of anything? This is how the courts worked back in the day in Germany with Jews. Jews were clearly untrustworthy to them. Same when Japan took over China. Chinese testimonies were worthless in court because they were clearly false to begin with.
The whole point to a court system is to remove prejudice of any form from the beginning. It's still run by humans, so it still nuttier than a squirrel turd, but at least there is an attempt. That's why when someone has multiple charges against them, they are not immediately guilty of all when they are guilty of one. You can't willy nilly say someone is guilty of everything due to one infraction.
But your backwards comment is the actual OPENING of the floodgates of hate, not the closing. The moment you decide to systematically silence people due to your will instead of through due process, you set up an elitist, rigged system. That's kind of the thing most people are trying to stop.
