    Do you think OJ Simpson is innocent? Would you want your daughter or sister to marry him?

    The are different standards for a reason. Society is perfectly capable of being aware that someone is a giant dickbag without there being enough evidence to justify using the power of the state to remove their freedom and incarcerate them. Those are two extraordinarily different things and you know it.

    To suggest otherwise is to imply that the government is a perfect arbiter of dispute that we should all just blindly accept. Something tells me you wouldn’t be so keen on that stance when it worked against your interests

      I think we need to recognise the moral panic of the situation too. People are out there looking to cancel others, others are out to use the moment for financial gain, and then there is the legitimate ones too. We dont know which they are and for the most part, the judicial system is only OK at separating them.

      If you can smear someone and that’s it their life is over, no matter the truth of it, then what justice is that?

      What’s the truth here… not very many people know, clearly.
