How exactly is one supposed to just know someone's a criminal? And what do they think the flight attendants job description is?
Throw the guy in jail, terrible it happened. But I dont see how they're gonna get anywhere in that lawsuit
How do you know this guy is guilty and should be thrown in jail?
Innocent until proven guilty only applies in the courts. For everywhere else, it seems to be guilty until proven innocent, and sometimes still guilty despite proof.
That's because most people are complete fucking morons.
It's nothing something we should ever remain silent on and let be acceptable.
So you'd be totally ok letting someone, who you've seen on video beating a child, babysit for you? After all, innocent until proven guilty
Are you a fucking idiot?
If you watch someone do the thing, you can be pretty assured they are guilty of doing the thing.
Allegedly
It’s not ann allegation if you’ve seen it happen.
It literally is. This thread is about assumption of innocence until convicted.
YOU HAVE PROOF OF THEM DOING IT
But legally, proof isnt "proof" until a jury has reviewed and determined on it
In this scenario, you yourself are the judge and have viewed the video footage.
That's the entire fucking point dude. You're always the judge.
This is the entire start of the thread. We don't need to wait for the courts. It's entirely justifiable to make up your mind with whatever evidence is presented, regardless if it's enough to actually convict in court
Especially if it's a man being accussed
The whole point of the lawsuit is that they couldn't find evidence because the other flight attendants gave him his phone back after he'd been caught. They're suing because he committed an obvious offense against a minor, and the employees didn't take the accusation seriously enough not to let evidence get destroyed.
The criminal case may be a lost cause now, but the evidence we do have is pretty damning and does warrant a lawsuit against the company that enabled what happened.
