>In our country, someone who hasn't been convicted or otherwise adjudicated of a crime is called innocent.
Total nonsense. This only applies to the state. Individuals are totally free to believe that a person not convicted of a crime or even proclaimed innocent by the state, is in fact not innocent.
If your legalistic fiction of innocence was correct, then individuals would have to believe that the law is the infallible representation of morality, which is an abhorrent claim. What I meant by the quotes around innocent is that the state has not yet deemed them criminal, but I disagree with the state on that assessment.
- estearum 10mo agoIs deportation a state action or no?

- estearum 10mo agoI just cannot imagine how gobsmackingly dumb one has to be to consciously advocate for a government unrestrained by laws. Just true mud-farmer level intellect.
- constantcrying 10mo agoI am sorry, but "you are dumb" is not an argument. I just do not care about the law at all+. Far too often have I seen justice abused in the name of the law. Any appeal to some supposed legality just rings entirely hollow. Either the government acts justly and I support their actions or it acts unjustly and I will oppose that action. Whatever some piece of paper says or does not say I do not mind. + Of course I care about it in so far I have to understand how getting into conflict with the prevalent interpretation of it will have consequence for me or my family or my friends. I pay my taxes, after all.
- estearum 10mo agoYeah, this is the opinion of a very stupid person. Have a good day :)
- ozozozd 10mo agoYou disagree in a “none of us are innocent” kind of way? I struggle to see how you might know so much about these people - whose names we don’t even know - that you can have an opinion about their innocence. No need to respond if you don’t think you need information to form an opinion. I will assume that.
