"Innocent" Canadians in jail!

[MHz]

Second only to creating a disaster in secret so you can come to the rescue in public.

At least in prison they don't have a 'What went wrong with the plan?' class. If nothing else it should inspire them to be bankers and lawyers and politicians if jail is a hardship.

This forum is often exceptionally stupid, but I never thought I'd see someone actually argue against the presumption of innocence.

So nice of you to enlighten us with your brilliance:roll:

This demonstrates what I've maintained all along about the bullsh*t contention of Canadian law that you are innocent until proven guilty.

You definitely aren't according to the media and public opinion. From what Ive noticed over the years they convict people before a trial begins most of the time. I don't get the "they wouldn't be there if they hadn't done 'something' wrong" mindset.

This forum is often exceptionally stupid, but I never thought I'd see someone actually argue against the presumption of innocence.

I see it quite often in the comment sections of news sites.

Where do you see evidence otherwise?

Oh yeah, and watch how their reactions change if a woman in college is drugged and raped at a party.

Evidence of what?

Sorry I took your meaning to be that we ARE considered innocent until proven guilty. I assume you mean people who are handcuffed, thrown in the back of a cop car and allowed ONLY one phone call. Hate to think how they'd treat the "guilty" ones. - I don't think THE FORUM is exceptionally stupid, it's just that among the mix of adherents to the forum there's a few who definitely aren't "Rhodes scholars". -

It's common knowledge (at least to some people) that those who don't think like they do, have to be stupid......
