    Do we have concrete incriminating evidence of wrongdoing? Like, even if you have written extensively with Jeffrey and visited his Island, that still doesn’t prove that you’re guilty of anything. I think probably you are, but it’s very difficult to prove.

    Sure, you might even admit that you slept with women on the island - but again, how to prove that these women were not of consenting age, or that they were not on the island by their own free will?

      Exactly this.

      Epstein courted a lot of people, he was a billionaire. He did business with people, I’m even sure most of it was legitimate (If you exclude the likely price fixing, insider trading and generally scumbag billionaire behavior) I’m fine with lining the people who knowingly fucked kids up against a wall, but before we give the order to fire I want to see some proof of guilt. I just dont support convicting people on vibes.

      How about this, anyone associated with him any way get the fucking ax. Once we have done that for anyone in the files as even meeting with the guy, we can sift through the ashes and apologize to the 3 people out of thousands that didn’t know anything was happening.

      I don’t even care to hear their testimony. They would lie. They would cover. If we give these parasites the benefit of an actual trial, nothing will ever happen because they control the courts. They control the law enforcement.

        Bro, using 9-5 as a derogatory term is the most brainwashed classwar self-own I’ve ever seen.

          9-5s are the problem. If they do their shitty job properly none of these would have happened. Also self own? Lol I was a 9-5 but found is really degrading and mostly people with no skill and self respect do it so said goodbye to 9-5.

        Uh. Wow okay. like everyone else except people associated with Epstein, I’d like these people to be brought to justice. But justice takes time AND ACTUAL EVIDENCE. Guilty by association is not a thing in modern societies.

          being a part of epstines association makes you guilty. and if the courts will not find the ones responcible then the angery mob should, even if their aim is terrible

        Well again probably but not verifiable without a reasonable doubt. If you wanna institutionalise your association bias and kill them all anyways, I’ve heard North Korea has great frameworks for this sort of thing

        just my random opinion here…i have a feeling a lot of people out there probably feel the same way, but (the ones actually capable of carrying this kind of stuff out, atleast) they’re just waiting for this upcoming midterms to play out, see if dems/progressives really do sweep it then they get 1 more chance to actually hold these animals accountabile…and if they don’t, then people start getting executed in their beds/out on the streets

          Given that there was a period of four years where the dems had full access to release every piece of evidence relating to the files, but didn’t; I don’t think the people in power would actually let the guys that wear a different coloured badge do all that much.
