Neither I nor you should appreciate spreading unsubstantiated rumors that directly attack the public servants neither of us personally know. If it bothers you that I'm defending them, then perhaps don't launch your attacks on them until you can share solid evidence that directly supports your claims. They're not going to be the ones defending themselves here and neither are you, and surely you don't expect us to accept whatever we read as true with zero evidence. Otherwise you're just spreading rumors. You owe it to the people you're talking to to justify any distrust that you're sowing.

And no, I'm not here to "own" anyone, whether left or right or up or down. I'm here to figure out what is true and what is false, and what is a rumor. Hence my question. If you had actually provided solid evidence for your claims in the beginning, I would have spread your words in support of your cause. I don't want innocent people being harmed any more than you do, whether they're wearing ankle monitors or robes.



You have a substantially undeserved set of rosy glasses for the courts. For your own sake, please try some court watching. :)
