  • Because that’s the way it is man…

    I can live-stream myself performing a public execution in front of a crowded stadium full of people, and plead not-guilty. And the presumption of innocence before the court means I can do that as much as I want regardless how obviously guilty I may be.

    And like it or not, that’s better than the alternative. A presumption of guilt before the court opens oneself to much more easily be wrongfully imprisoned for crimes you didn’t commit. Not accounting for obvious injustices that have occurred due to shortcomings and corruption in the system, these initial principals give us the best shot at having a system that’s less likely to fuck us than not.

    So your manager, in a retail store, that presumably exclusively sold non-flat-earth items, caved to a whack-job who wanted you to be fired because you wouldn’t waste your productive work time listening to his whack-job bullshit (closing is almost always more than turning the lights off and locking up), and actually fired you?

    Sounds like the manager did you a favor. He did have a choice… standing up for his employees agains unreasonable nonsense like that.
