DISCLAIMER: this is not my content that was removed, I just came across it in the modlog and found it to be absurd. If it’s not allowed, I totally understand.

Reason removed was because it’s unrelated.

Unrelated……

The guy was illegally deported without due process. And yet for some reason, suggesting so is somehow “unrelated” to a meme that is trying to say that because he is affiliated (no charges were ever filed against him for gang-related activity) with a gang, he is by default, guilty.

What’s ironic, is that the entire point of the meme is that the bullshit about him being in MS-13 is unrelated to the fact that people want accountability for this administration illegally deporting a man without due process.

This mod has definitely chosen the correct name.

And even taken into consideration that the instance is essentially a troll haven for wayward 4Chan refugees, they should still have to adhere to the rules of common sense.

    I don’t think anybody’s arguing about the necesiity of due process here, what with it being the point of the post.

    not from the comments I read, anyway.

      “Even if dude were the captain of MS-13, it doesn’t matter.”

      being a captain of an international gang that murders and rapes people would matter.

      I commented because that guy was tilting you so you started off with this exchange, which did look a little like you were arguing that if he was captain of MS-13, it would make a difference.

      I keep getting this weird feeling that disingenuous assholes would be tilting us on purpose to make us more accepting of a world where someone could claim a guy was captian of MS-13, and so they shouldn’t get due process. You know, saying something really awful, to get us to concede more than we normally would. Trying to look out.

        “if he was captain of MS-13, it would make a difference.”

        it would, if there is corroborated, documented evidence someone is a captain of a violent gang, rather than someone with no criminal history and a sigmund freud tatoo.

        that makes a difference.

        “…claim a guy was captian of MS-13…”

        this is basically what is happening now from official sources, my related comments in this post discuss this exact issue.

        but you don’t have to fall on one side or the other.

        if someone is a violent offender and gamg member, that should be considered.

        if someone is not, as in this case, that should be considered.

        and as the post is about, due process should be inviolable.

        all three are simultaneously correct.
