Do you realize how certain one has to be to accuse a person of such a crime?

Would you want to live in a world where 1 of 100 considered guilty is innocent?

Would you feel the same way if you'd be that?

Do you realize how probabilities work?

If something has a 1 in a 1000 probability, then from time to time it happens.

And then the final question - do you consider it too much of a bother to go through investigative process with civilized legal proceedings to confirm what is true and reduce the probability of a mistake?

"Blah blah blah I'm defending paedophiles"

That's what your wall of text is saying.

My wall of text is saying that you want innocent people to be condemned, fighting against failsafe for that.

Thus you are a criminal and should hang.
