Reply to comment by Badgercakes7 in Spotted in New Milford by British_Rover

I understand this sentiment but whatever side of the political spectrum you are on sexual predators of every kind are grossly under-sentenced even in very public cases. I don’t support the extrajudicial murder of almost anyone - but that opinion has nothing to do with believing that our legal system will deliver them to justice and I would never encourage someone else to believe that either.

Do you have any stats to back up what you are saying, because “grossly under sentenced” is a pretty vague statement.

Regardless though, your alternative is, rather than change the laws to create stricter sentencing for sexual assault, is to empower random people to murder people in the streets, without a trial by jury?

Bro literally read my comment. I said I do not condone “the extrajudicial murder of almost anyone”. Also have you ever watched the news ever in your life? Or known someone who has been sexually assaulted? Give me a fucking break. Do a simple Google search if you can actually read.

Ya that “almost” is doing some REAL heavy lifting in that sentence.

And let’s say you’re right, that sexual assault is under sentenced. Fine. What is your plan? Because you are commenting here in support of someone with a “pedophile Hunter” sticker.

Do a simple google search yourself on how often vigilante / mob violence targets innocent people, often members of marginalized groups. Research the Salem witch trials. Hell, research Germany in the late 30s. Can you really not see why people might be hugely concerned by people claiming all members of the LGBTQ community, not to mention all liberals who support them, are groomers/pedophiles in one breath and calling for the murder of pedophiles in the next?

Again learn how to fucking read. I was replying to your comment and how relying on our corrupt legal system is not a sufficient argument against vigilante justice. You’re literally attacking me for no reason.

I never said relying on our legal system is the argument against murdering people in the streets, I’m saying it is the alternative. The argument against murdering people in the streets should be self evident to anyone who is not a violent sociopath.
