(33 posts)There is absolutely no way I can ever justify what this lady did. I just can't. However, there is a reason we have a judicial system. It is for when citizens break other citizen rights to peaceably enjoy their communities. The judicial system was created to handle these issues by a preponderance of evidence and accused citizens become guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
Trying to get someone fired because you saw something on the internet is not the same thing. That is revenge. Something our judicial system is supposed to weed out.
We have to take our justice system more seriously. It is what makes us the good guys. We have to show these guys why our way is better; why deliberation and strong evidence are necessary.
I read not too long ago about how the Swedish perceive criminals. It was something like we don't see these people as bad, just the things they did. We have this concept in this country that if you do bad things, you a a bad person, a throwaway...a mistake. Whereas, most people are good, they just do bad things that hurt people. I can't make the case for Hitler, and I won't. But this lady is a combination of good and bad...just like the rest of us.
Let the courts do their job, and let this lady keep her way of making a living. Saying she needs to be fired is just a cruel way of seeking the justice you want when we have a system already in place. If that system doesn't work right, then we the people need to make sure it is corrected.
