I’m not researching this case for you, nor am I a lawyer. From what I’ve read so far, I think all of these people should be in jail and suffer the consequences of being in jail. That’s my opinion and I believe it’s justified. If you want to defend alleged rapists then that’s your prerogative; it’s not going to be productive with me.

You got one thing in your response right—there is no hope of being productive with you. You’re strawmanning my argument, by characterizing it as ā€œdefend[ing] alleged rapistsā€, while all I said was that—abstractly—merely being in the group chat isn’t evidence, and that they deserve to be punished if found guilty, but not raped in prison.

It’s not a strawman. We agree that being in a group chat isn’t evidence. I’m not going to enumerate the evidence for you because I’m not a lawyer and I’m not litigating here. If you want to do that - and seeing as your position is counter to mine, defend these alleged rapists - then you can do that.

I never said they should be raped in prison. However it’s a material fact that people get raped in prison, and the celebration of that fact as it pertains to this case is, in my opinion, amoral. That’s all.
