YCombinator and HN would run a "Slit your mommas throat as a service" if they though there were hockey stick growth profit.
Flock, and anybody who funds them are the real domestic terrorists. Anybody who destroys these devices are patriots in my book.
And if I ever serve for jury duty over a case like that, they didn't do it.

While saying they're making the world a better place in the process. At least Wall Street sharks tend to be honest about their motivations and lack of giving a shit about you.

Now you're bending facts. You can decide they are not guilty of a crime, but you can't make them have not done it.
And you're just being a pedant, aiming for the worst kind of correct.
nope, read my response lower in this thread before your knee jerk reaction

He’s referencing jury nullification.
Juries actually can “make them have not done it”, although that’s been used for good and ill purposes.
"Not guilty" does not mean "did not do it" - it means "the state didn't prove that they did it beyond a reasonable doubt."

If you really want to nitpick, juries are what settle questions of facts.
You can agree that the person did the act yet still find them not guilty. The fact is still the fact. As someone else stated, not guilty does not mean they did not do it. It just means they do not want to say they are guilty. There's only two options. If if you do not choose "guilty" the only option remaining is "not guilty".
