The NDA did not cause the rapists to go free. The fact the police broke the law did that. they should not have done it.

This is the first time you have responded to it. You were ignoring it. honestly, that is not where we disagree. We disagree entirely on the primary function of the internet. You apparently see it, already, as just a series of walled garde
