contact with him isn’t immediate proof of any specific crime
And this is why we have courts and rule of law and not mob rule. The mob clearly is ready to hang him. And if he is guilty, he should.
But at the moment, there is no clear proof that I’m aware of.
So it’d be fucking nice if people would take a damn step back and concentrate on supporting the rule of law and getting this evidence into courts so that we can have the best possible chance of convicting and punishing the guilty.
Because let’s be clear: I support punishment for all who are guilty.
But mob rule is what the fascists want and thrive on. Trump says “X is guilty” and the fucking cult goes nuts and presses for their death.
My only misgivings with the court of law are that they’re slow (a necessary byproduct of diligence) and that the law they’re adjudicating is biased (really more of an issue with the legislation). There is also the problem of corrupt or biased judges, but corruption is a universal concern.
They’re still more reliable than a lynching based on suspicion and emotion.

Can our side NOT be like that? Please?
