You're putting words into the other user's mouth, though, by assuming they mean "everyone" and not just "the innocent proportion of accused people".

So this seems like a good place to take your own advice, right?

No, I responded to their comment as-is. It's you putting words in someone's mouth again, not I.

The way you can tell what they mean is this line: "More you punish the victims better you make out." Nobody in America thinks that judges make out for punishing actually-innocent people. That's not what "victims" means here.

  • They didn't say "judges". I think the American justice system has a grandiose disregard for its impacts on the falsely accused.

    You're doing the thing again, even now.

    • I agree, I think it does as well. That's not what the guy said, though.

      I think I'm just reading what his comment says, but maybe I am doing the same thing as you. I'm just better at it. I got his position correct, you got it wrong.

      You told me what I believe, you got that wrong, too.
