Nice set of examples.
But are you even capable of distinguishing between Drug Dealing, Sexual Battery Of A Minor and Murder?
The first is always a "consensual crime," the latter is never, and the middle is a case where the categories are purposefully muddled so that we will probably never know which it was.
The fact that you would treat the charges and their reportage the same indicates that this muddling is having its desired effect on your ability to think clearly about the law.
Cops can't seem to resist demonizing the "enemy;" especially in cases where the victims won't. There are plenty of victims of theft who will attest as to how they feel about the thief. The surviving family will speak out about the murderer. But it must be very frustrating to have the "victims" voluntarily seek out their pot supplier, or resume relations with their BF. Hence a whole nother degree of demonization is required, as well as the solicitation of crimes to charge the demons with.
That demonization works when folks can't think clearly and distinguish these categories any more; and when they treat the victimless offender even worse than the one who left death and destruction in their wake. When nobody will believe that planting drugs is a routine part of drug busts in San Francisco, or New Orleans or elsewhere, then they've managed to get you to think about all these laws the same way.
"Pyle is a classic example of a situational offender and we know exactly how they are."
You wouldn't have to ⛓️💥[Removed] if you chose not to assume that every charge, absent of information, were true.
We can distinguish consent from actual rape without having to demonize living people in cases where we weren't there. Your need to name names in order to have villains means that far from caring about how the girls really feel, you're eager to join in the howls of accusation against their loved ones.
Its enough to know that there are villains out there. But we should be a little more humble about what we don't know and what we can't know.
Given the number of falsely accused out there and among our community we ought to be better than those who seek to erase the concept of consent, and who discard the opinion of the girl.
