Where there is still the tragic practice in the school system of passing the trash on a larger scale than anything by Epstein. Where you claim to care about victims of abuse.
Where it’s obvious many on DI only care about using victims as political footballs.
Quote where I posted such a thing.
This is where you post what evidence there is in the Epstein case to bring what specific charges under US law against what specific people that will bring a conviction in a trail of 12 peers.
You serious want some prosecutor to go to a judge and demand a trial because they have a list of people you consider bad through innuendo?
The cases and settlements from the US school system shows how people act in cases when there is actual evidence of sexual abuse by specific people. And outlines how people trying to get through the bureaucracy act when they actually care.
The Epstein case now shows how people act when it’s just a political football where people care more about innuendo and character assassination than the victims.
How many years did the widespread, systemic abuse in the school system stay under the radar before the actual evidence was exposed? How many years was it covered up in the Catholic church before people finally decided to take action?
My point is that there's rampant, widespread abuse happening across many industries and sectors. The entertainment industry is another example. There's plenty of circumstantial evidence and a few random cases get attention, occasionally but the extensive, prevalence of the totality of abuse remains covered up.
Lack of evidence doesn't necessarily mean innocence.
If it's happening in schools, churches, Hollywood and other places, then how much of a stretch is it to assume it's happening in government, too.
You want people to shut up about Epstein but how do you suppose the abuse was uncovered in education and church? It was exposed because people talked about it loud and persistently.
Shutting up is complicity
