      Yes breaking the law is a “crime” but to be a criminal you need to have the verdict saying you committed it. Innocent until proven and all. A “not guilty” or null result means not a criminal.

        If Biden and Trump can decide the law does not apply to certain people, then so can you.

        Guilty’s meaning depends on whose the listener

        That you present the set of possible states of guilty poorly aside, are assuming everyone shares your POV.

        I can present your bullshit more clearly. So lets do that

        For someone to be labeled a criminal they must have been convicted in a court of law by their peers and all avenues of appeals have been exhausted. This is the only situation where the word criminal can be used by anyone besides paid liers and illusionists.

          No it’s a poor journalistic standard to cast guilt before trial. If some random person was saying it who cares. This is a large public facing news entity though.

            They demonize perps every single day. To the point it’s comical. Finding an exception is rare.

            Got to the point, where i refuse to believe anything the media or the State says. Anything. If they said the sky is blue i’d ask for the unittests (wouldn’t believe them)

            They lost the narrative forever. Which is another way of saying they aren’t ruling by the Will of the people. Incapable of presenting themselves in a believable manner.

      Not a crime against society, so possibly not a crime.

      The word, crime, is subjective. Much like the word, value.

      Really what is wanted is play court and feel special.
