Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:

MODERATORS
Yes, criminals should have rights. But those rights aren't all necessarily the same as those of non-criminal citizens. And when the rights of victims are trampled on in the guise of protecting criminal rights, there's a problem.
What if I told you that in a sufficiently corrupt system, the victims and criminals are mostly the same people.
You would convince me that your thinking processes have been muddied because you're bringing something that, insofar as it is true, is entirely irrelevant.
Can you name a time this happened?
From personal experience, yes. My convicted abuser husband was allowed to continue to abuse my kids. They struggle with mental illness.
My friend's husband who was convicted of sexually abusing his children was given visitation with them. Two out of three are now dead after struggling with mental illness their whole lives because of their abuser's right to continue access. He's walking free after serving a fraction of his time.
There are thousands of other examples that don't come from personal experience.
