- alphanullmeric 4y agoWhich does not disprove the implication I made, since you assumed the hypothesis to be false. Given that they are guilty, would you still support them? There sure seems to be a lot of “we should be nicer to thieves” in this thread, so I think we already know the answer.
- loeg 4y agoI don't support thieves. This hypothetical where we know guilt before trial is not especially interesting or enlightening.
