So fuck due process then, huh. Also Perjury is a thing.
You are a textbook fascist.
UPDATE: mmm 13 dislikes, you wannabe-dictators should be careful of what you wish fot
God, I remember stories of some women who falsely claim sexual assault which has ruined people's livelyhoods. When there are consequences, just ruling on vibes and a 1 sided account of a story is so incredibly bad.

ITT: Bunch of people who don't understand how the justice system works, accusing everybody else in it of being misogynistic incels.
No, we would still need evidence.
Because of that ‘innocent until caught’ and ‘due process’ things you may had heard about.
Note: a credible testimony IS evidence, although it must be a little bit beyond the simple ‘trust me’ stuff.
Do women trust women? If all women had voted for Kamala she would have won.
Except the women who are forced to vote for whoever their gun-loving, abusive, MAGA husband wants.
Why do you think so many women voted against their best interests?
They voted for what they believed to be in their best interest.

Kamala doesn't trust women so that's a garbage argument. judging by the way she treats incarcerated trans women
Testifying under oath as an expert may sway a case. In doing so, you are examined on what your expertise is, how it relates to the matter at hand, and why you believe it matters.
As a victim, you are not a reliable witness because the prosecution is trying to convince the jury that the facts match the charge while the defense is trying to present reasonable doubt. (If you couldn’t remember the curtain was blue, are you sure you didn’t just dream up the act?)
It’s also good to be able to establish multiple witnesses for the same event as it establishes mutual credibility. A, B, and C all established their presence and all corroborated that A was brought into the room with D. B and C heard sounds that were consistent with act X but inconsistent with defendant D’s claim of act Y.
It’s not a game of probability or trust. It’s storytelling

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
