Look up what a Trident 2 D5 can do.

You ask those questions after reading my explanation, and have the gaul to ask me if I’m dumb?

Yet again, the rational voice is downvoted. Clearly no one bothered to read the article.

The resolution was not expected to pas.

‘Allow no nuance, logic, or common sense get in the way of our manufactured outrage!!”

You left out the online vigilante portal.

Cool. Release the pedo files.

This isn’t what you think it is. No one was hurt by this.

Question of the day, are you a pedo if it’s anime?

Yes.

I smell a lawsuit.

Oh I love that!

Very well put! Thank you. More people need to understand how the concept of nuance works and how to apply it to the reality they live in.

They voted (and didn’t vote) based entirely on their wishful thinking of a perfect world in which everything they hate is solved by one person.

And they still didn’t learn from it.

I’m blocking you now. You’re here to waste time.

Dude… you need to accept that law doesn’t abide by wishful thinking. Learn how it works and keep your emotions out of it. It’ll help you to stop accusing people who have had rape victims in their families of support rape.

Be better than this.

You could always keep doing nothing and hope things change. A lot of people chose this option. It didn’t work this time but who knows….

If we get an election in 2028 and Gavin is the stinker propped up against whatever Trump 2.0 is going to be, we can try not voting again and see if things change.

Are you saying that no rape victim ever received justice? Or maybe you’re willing to change your statement so that it presets in a way that says you’re pissed of that just HE is able to get away with it.

Because if it’s the latter, understand that you’re willing to change our entire legal system to prosecute anyone based on accusation alone-

Just to incarcerate one person.

Maybe they to learn the smallest iota of law.

Thanks for bring up an example of precedence. It helps a lot.

And look at that statement:

could significantly enhance credibility and probative value.

could significantly enhance credibility.

It’s not evidence to lead to conviction.

I’ll just copy and paste this again;

That’s certainly proof of character, but it’s not evidence. There’s no way you can frame this that doesn’t end in being thrown out of court without something substantial that puts him there and committing the act.

Blood samples, photographs, surveillance video, admission, etc… these things are proof.

Prior convictions won’t count as evidence. But they help with m proof of character- which can only help the prosecution, but doesn’t close a case.

Imagine if I didn’t like you and I got say, 28 people to accuse you of harassment here on lemmy. As a result, you get banned. Is that fair? Now, imagine you DID harass me and 27 other people. As a result you get banned. Is that fair?

If you’re honest, you’d answer no to the first, and yes to the second.

And that is why we don’t allow accusations to serve as proof.

Wanting something bad enough is not a legal precedent. Everyone has rights.

No one here is in defense of rapists. Your accusations is exactly why we don’t just “believe women.” Accusations aren’t proof of guilt.

Also, there’s a thing in law that’s called “precedent”.

If you allow accusations to be accepted as legal proof of a thing, the floodgates open to allow this precedent to be applied to ALL things.

We don’t like our boss? Let’s all accuse him of rape! Boom! Prison.

We don’t like the head of our HOA? Let’s all accuse her of embezzlement! Boom! Prison!

There’s a reason proof is required. And it protects everyone. Even the bad guys.
