I never rode on his plane. Have you? There are over 300 million Americans, what percentage of them rode on his plane?
Seems to me that it would be absolutely no loss to anyone if ALL who rode on his plane, have ANY association with him, or are otherwise connected with him, are barred for life from ever holding any political office or authority.
In addition, anyone in the same group is added to a list similar to the sex-offenders list, but it is simply the "Epstein list." Not to be confused with the actual list. This new list just requires even a picture with him to be added to it.
Even the slightest scent of foul play with underage people would trigger a massive response. When on the list, you aren't allowed near anywhere where children are. You cannot have any business associations involving children. This along with other sensible cautions for possible child rapists.
The thing is, the rich and powerful should be under MORE scrutiny. Right now they have more rights than a common person. But authority should come with less rights and more responsibility. I would say not associating with a know child trafficker is a pretty low bar, and there are countless rich people who haven't done that.
The rest of us are burned on a daily basis for significantly less.
I think it's weird and sus, but we don't need a witch hunt, we need to release the files. I couldn't find any testimoney that implied Groeing was part of child trafficking.
It isn't a witch hunt. He is a known child sex trafficker the and statistics are clear. The minuscule number of people exposed to him vs the size of the greater population isn't even a blip on the radar. These sorts of sex traffickers are experts at covering their tracks, so a wide net around the super tiny population exposed to this creep is not only sensible, it is really the only way forward to safeguard the future.
I think a lot of people didn't realize he was a sex trafficker early on. He was just a rich, influential guy who would give you a cool ride on his fancy plane. It could take a while for a naive person to put 2 and 2 together. I only speak from the point of view of my own personality: I've always been overly naive, but I bet there are others like me.
So you're essentially saying "idc if we catch Innocents"? That's not a good look. I'm all for the proper punishment of rich pieces of shit, but Benjamin Franklin had a bit about this.
Please read what I typed.
LOL
Benjamin Franklin would be lopping heads off by now fighting in a second revolutionary war. That would be proper punishment.
Saying "you can't hold public office" is barely a slap on the wrist.
Seems Lemmy is already taken over by the programmed bots. Will need a new platform.
I would rather....
But go on. We are totally reading what you're saying.
So you're on board with punishing people without a hint of due process? And it doesn't matter if innocent people get caught up in it? Sounds familiar...
You should really examine your position there.
The mega rich associated with a known child sex trafficker are far from innocent. Every person involved will be held accountable.
