It isn't a witch hunt. He is a known child sex trafficker the and statistics are clear. The minuscule number of people exposed to him vs the size of the greater population isn't even a blip on the radar. These sorts of sex traffickers are experts at covering their tracks, so a wide net around the super tiny population exposed to this creep is not only sensible, it is really the only way forward to safeguard the future.
So you're essentially saying "idc if we catch Innocents"? That's not a good look. I'm all for the proper punishment of rich pieces of shit, but Benjamin Franklin had a bit about this.
Please read what I typed.
LOL
Benjamin Franklin would be lopping heads off by now fighting in a second revolutionary war. That would be proper punishment.
Saying "you can't hold public office" is barely a slap on the wrist.
Seems Lemmy is already taken over by the programmed bots. Will need a new platform.
I would rather....
But go on. We are totally reading what you're saying.
So you're on board with punishing people without a hint of due process? And it doesn't matter if innocent people get caught up in it? Sounds familiar...
You should really examine your position there.
The mega rich associated with a known child sex trafficker are far from innocent. Every person involved will be held accountable.
I think a lot of people didn't realize he was a sex trafficker early on. He was just a rich, influential guy who would give you a cool ride on his fancy plane. It could take a while for a naive person to put 2 and 2 together. I only speak from the point of view of my own personality: I've always been overly naive, but I bet there are others like me.
