Not a criminal until a guilty verdict...

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 23 points 6 days ago (4 children)

It's also not a crime to eradicate a parasite.

I mean it’s a “crime” technically but that doesn’t mean we can’t nullify it!

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (5 children)

Yes breaking the law is a "crime" but to be a criminal you need to have the verdict saying you committed it. Innocent until proven and all. A "not guilty" or null result means not a criminal.

If Biden and Trump can decide the law does not apply to certain people, then so can you.

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

The law only applies where and when it is enforced.

Lest we forget, "He needed killin'" was a successful defense against a murder charge in Texas, once upon a time.

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

I mean i agree ethically and morally. I was just commenting on NYT not understanding how laws work.

Thank you!

Being neutral cute both ways, he is innocent until a jury of his peers decide to vote guilty.

Just hope he doesn’t sign a confession, there is plenty of resources for him to fight this.

Also, I think all people charged with a crime deserve this benefit or the doubt.

It couldn't be because we've been starved of seeing anything resembling actual justice could it?

Horrible people do horrible things and have been getting away with it since before I was born. No wonder people are reacting the way they are.

Being handsome doesn't hurt, but people like him for what he did. He could be a hunchback and there'd be supportive quasimodo memes I'm sure.

Frantically attempting to spin this in favour of predatory finance capitalism.

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days ago

Anything to distract from the class war.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago

His crime is one of the reasons we find him attractive. It's not being overshadowed it's being celebrated.

[–] SirEDCaLot@lemmy.today 26 points 6 days ago (2 children)

It's NYT. If you can't defend Thompson as being worth keeping alive, may as well play the woke race card and say we only like him because he's an attractive white male.

[–] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 8 points 6 days ago

NYT is a very conservative newspaper, they are only "woke" in the very shallowest sense when convenient to them.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Knowing our history, it's still funny to me that I-talians are considered plain ol' white now.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 days ago

Whether or not Italians are white depends on what's convenient to the people in power at the moment. Same goes for Jews

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago

Tens of millions of lives ruined by "just good business" is the headline.

Stop worshipping profit or everything will get worse, even if there are no violent responses.

Everybody talking about anything else in this case is lying by omission.

Why wouldn't they be? The glamorizing of murderers, rapists, and other criminals in biopic miniseries seems to be a growing point of discussion over the past year or so.

Post links to articles, not screenshots of articles. Downvoted and reported.

Or at least an archive link.

At least it’s Bluesky, not Twitter?

What rule did they break? I don't see that posted.

I mean this is nothing new. Pretty white women have been treated favourably in court and by the public forever. There is a somewhat popular twitter account all about hot criminals. It's a thing and it always has been.

[–] wuphysics87@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 days ago

That had never been a problem before

[–] wuphysics87@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago

Not to play devil's advocate (which is what people say beforr they play devil's advocate) is this clickbait or is there substance to the article. Bastard and innumerable others like him deserve to be punished, but I'm interested in the takr
