So why were these FBI agents charged and sentenced then?
Edit: read the article, I didn't see any hard evidence. just accusations. See: mattress girl for why accusations aren't sentences
See mattress girl... Hey friend I've been terminally online before too. I went to rehab, and a psychiatrist. I did some therapy with a psychologist but it didn't do much for me.
I'm the same person I always was, same human body. But things have changed so much for the better it's surprising.
Shit hit the fan in my family and I got fired from my job. That's when I asked for help. There's no shame in asking for help. Take it from a 41 year old badass in my new career.
It takes time... But if you're still thinking about mattress girl let that shit go. It's nothing. It shouldn't have affected you in the first place. Let go of the shit that brought you to post about this in 2024.
Ask for help. I'll talk to you if you want, judgement free. I have today off once I sleep for a bit.
Lol. Good for you, getting back up on your feet.
I'm using mattress girl as an example of how simply believing accusations can go very, very, very wrong. Not all women lie about sexual assault, but the very fact that some do means we cannot condemn someone merely for the accusations. As a 41 year old, you should understand that concept.
But isn't that interesting, that your response is to just forget that it ever happened because it didn't happen last week. How very simple that would be, if we just forgot past lessons. Hey, in that spirit, we should just forget Hitler, he happened much further back than mattress girl did, so he should just be that much more forgotten then, shouldn't he?
It's wild that your argument is "forget history," but I've been thoroughly entertained, thank you.
Just curious, what's your opinion on the death penalty?
I have a hard time with the death penalty. I don't think it should be used unless 100% certain guilt, like DNA evidence. But even then, stuff can be planted. And I used to say video evidence, but even that can be faked now with the rise of AI.
So I lean more towards not having a death penalty, and using multiple life imprisonments instead.
