    So you’d be totally ok letting someone, who you’ve seen on video beating a child, babysit for you? After all, innocent until proven guilty

      Are you a fucking idiot?

      If you watch someone do the thing, you can be pretty assured they are guilty of doing the thing.

            It literally is. This thread is about assumption of innocence until convicted.

                But legally, proof isnt “proof” until a jury has reviewed and determined on it

                  who you’ve seen on video beating a child,

                  In this scenario, you yourself are the judge and have viewed the video footage.

                    That’s the entire fucking point dude. You’re always the judge.

                    Innocent until proven guilty only applies in the courts. For everywhere else, it seems to be guilty until proven innocent, and sometimes still guilty despite proof.

                    That’s because most people are complete fucking morons.

                    It’s nothing something we should ever remain silent on and let be acceptable.

                    This is the entire start of the thread. We don’t need to wait for the courts. It’s entirely justifiable to make up your mind with whatever evidence is presented, regardless if it’s enough to actually convict in court
