The biggest name in Jeffrey Epstein’s birthday book back in 2003 was a past president rather than a future one.

    “Arrest every single one of them…”

    You need more evidence to arrest someone as an accomplice to child rape and sex trafficking than that they sent a birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein before his first arrest. There are 50 people on the list, including Epstein’s family members.

    Why does every thread on pedophiles have to go off the rails because people think if the crime is heinous enough, you just round up everyone without reasonable cause or probable suspicion?

      I think it’s a slightly different dynamic happening. Definitely when the crime is heinous people get riled up and demand “justice” at any cost.

      But I don’t think everyone here is saying “based on this list alone courts have enough evidence”, but rather “if they’re on this list for sure there’s mountains of other evidence, lock them up”.

      Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s how I’m interpreting it.
