Sure, sure, everything can be simplified down to people just not "liking" them. That's what this is all about. That's what all this is about. We simply don't like people. No, it's not the fact that these assholes are the ones behind the 21st century rise of cyber-fascism. We just don't like 'em. Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, yeah they're all really decent people inside, it's us that's the problem. /s
Sick and tired of useless fucking people that style themselves as "rational" and "middle of the road" in a world that is literally starting to threaten my very existence. The time for that shit is long past us, sorry.
But we can't tell the difference between the "far left" and far right. The one is threatening to fix elections and have a madman in absolute power to use dishonest arguments to eliminate half the population and enslave developing countries, and the other wants not pay more money for less in by private trusts overcharging us, and doesn't think working people should get screwed without their consent, and wants equal rights for people, and believes in the tenants of the Bill of Rights. /s
Can't tell you guys apart!
Whereas I prefer an organized rules-based justice system over anarchy and vigilantism. Because who knows when you or I might end up being in the "disliked" category?
A judge holding a defendant in contempt of court for violating a serious order to not bring recording equipment into the courtroom, is neither "anarchy" nor "vigilantism."
In an "organized rules-based justice system," a defendant who violated a court order by bringing recording equipment into the courtroom would be held in contempt, and depending on the severity, may face jail time (such as perhaps if that recording equipment has facial recognition technology).
This isn't about whether or not we "dislike" him. But just because he's widely disliked doesn't make him immune to prosecution.
What the fuck are you smoking?
A rules based system works when every player follows the rules. One side is actively dismantling and abandoning the rules. Do we still keep playing with our hands tied behind our backs?
You are essentially saying the crowd has to do its own justice.
It's a courtroom, not a voting booth.
Do…do you know how a jury works?
Do juries decide who is in contempt of the court?
Are you aware that there's more to the court system than juries? And that those juries, too, operate under a strict set of rules about what they can and can't rule on?
No, we fight to ensure that the rules are followed. In this case they are, the judge has discretion here.
Would you rather there were "mandatory minimum" laws when it came to this as well?
No one is even making the arguments that you are arguing against other than you...
