    @omooex

    You're right, Omooex. Bad people shouldn't be defended!

    If only there were a way to figure out who the bad people are.

    Like, if one person says what he thinks the bad guy did wrong, and then, like, another guy can say, no, that's not true. prove it! And the first guy says, well, here's my evidence.

    Then some other people would sit and think about it.

    Does anybody know of such a system? Maybe we can brainstorm and start a movement.
