Not for fraud, no.

It's okay to execute child rapists, though.

Not even then. There are countless examples of corrupt prosecutors pushing through convictions because they want a win, even when it was clear the accused was innocent.

Without an absolutely perfect system of justice, I'm not willing to trust the state with executions in any circumstances.

Can you share any?

We're talking specifically about child rapists, though.

I don't get it. It just links to the Wiki article about Satanic panic.

summarize the satanic panic in one sentence

“Innocent people found guilty of child sexual abuse because of an unfounded grand uproa—”

OH WAIT HOW DARE YOU?!

Were you born yesterday...?

No. That's why I seek sources rather than believe everything I read on forums.

You should try it sometime, lol.

You don’t believe there’s ever been a wrongly convicted person ever?

No. Why would you think that?

I'm curious where he's getting his information from, though. He seemed so confident about it until I pressed him on sources.

That usually means he's talking out of his ass.

No. That would be you instead.

Florida is trying to pass a law like this while also trying to pass a law that brands trans people as sex offenders

If you give the state a reason they’re allowed to kill people they’ll find a reason to argue that the people they don’t like fit that reason

Yeah at a certain point (late 30s in my case) you start to doubt all these people, who knew the authorities were mad at them, had had warrants executed previously, had child porn on their computer. It's like the "sprinkle crack on him" for politics
