They only go to jail if they are judged to have committed crimes in court.
I wonder if antifa gives similar due process rights to the people it accuses and attacks?
- rudiv 6y agoAre you under the impression that due process (in terms of the US legal doctrine) is applicable to anyone but US state and federal governments?
- someguydave 6y agoare you saying court doesn’t exist?
- pmoriarty 6y ago"They only go to jail if they are judged to have committed crimes in court." Not true. Plenty of people in jail have not been found guilty of anything and are there waiting their day in court. That could go on for months or even years. That's not to mention people dying in police custody, and the fact that some people's lives and reputation could be ruined by the mere accusation of a crime.
- someguydave 6y agoFair enough - the system isn’t perfect; however there is no perfect system this side of heaven. I’m open to many kinds of reforms of the criminal justice system. The important thing to realize is that there are only trade-offs, no perfect answers. Still, defendants still have rights and get due process in court. It is not reasonable to jettison all of that because sometimes we don’t like the outcomes.
- pmoriarty 6y agoYou do have rights and get due process unless you're: - a minority who's not part of the elite - poor and don't have connections - get accused of not having the right papers - run in to a corrupt cop or one who's having a bad day and decides to take it out on you Even if you do get your day in court the system is heavily stacked against many segments of society.
- someguydave 6y agoAre you saying that those people don't get a court date? Or they don't have access to lawyers?
