    Not really comparable between the media feeding frenzy surrounding the McCann disappearance and a US sex tourist being caught in a hotel with 2 children.

      I just picked the first one when you google “media ruined life”

      It’s a matter of principle

      There’s hundreds of examples, pick your favorite

        Again, not really comparable.

        He is not someone like the guy framed by all the Reddit imbecilic sluths after the Boston marathon bombings, nor is he like Christopher Jefferies, accused by the media of murdering one of his tenants, just because he’s a bit eccentric.

        The guy was caught in a hotel room with children in an area known for sex tourism & he chose to bolt the country after his arrest.

        It’s not like it’s an farcical comedy where a series of events transpired and his trousers fell down just as the police entered the room.

        If you don’t want your name released after being arrested in a hotel with local children entirely unrelated to you, then maybe don’t invite local children up to your hotel and be getting arrested.

        Like I said previously, I find it incredibly fucking easy not to be a child raping paedophile. It’s so easy that very little thought goes into it so I don’t have to deal with the consequences of even it being inferred despite no evidence of any crime having taken place.

        So much so that I have zero fucking empathy for anyone that is.

          Not comparable

          It’s a matter of principle, pick any of hundreds of examples if you want a comparison

          Again, not comparable

          Do you realize how certain one has to be to accuse a person of such a crime?

          Would you want to live in a world where 1 of 100 considered guilty is innocent?

          Would you feel the same way if you’d be that?

          Do you realize how probabilities work?

          If something has a 1 in a 1000 probability, then from time to time it happens.

          And then the final question - do you consider it too much of a bother to go through investigative process with civilized legal proceedings to confirm what is true and reduce the probability of a mistake?

              My wall of text is saying that you want innocent people to be condemned, fighting against failsafe for that.

              Thus you are a criminal and should hang.
