doesn't apply to you personally.
This came from a topic awhile back. Someone had posted a link to a story about some scoundrels who had sexually assaulted a female who had gone out into an alley behind a bar to have a smoke. She went back in & told her boyfriend who was D.J.ing for the bar that night. He ran out with her and there were several guys who beat them up putting him and maybe her in the hospital.
There was a camera that caught the incident on "tape". The police posted the video on Youtube asking for help in identifying the perpetrators. It showed several guys attacking her boyfriend & she went up and they knocked her down onto the cobblestones. At some point they knocked the guy down & his head barely missed hitting the curb. The girl had gotten up & ran over to help her boyfriend & they knocked her down again if I recall. In general it was pretty brutal & they were both injured.
Youtube took down the video and admonished the police that if they ever put something like that again they would bar them from Youtube. Pickle & his allies cheered. "Good for them."
They went on with their typical idiocy about their hatred of the police and claimed that they hoped the perpetrators would never be caught. Pickle was leading the way, of course. No humans should be put in cages was his claim.
In the ensuing dialogue he indicated that included for any & all crimes. People had a right to defend themselves, but no one had a right to retribution after the fact. The people could theoretically request for reimbursement for their monetary damages via some unspecified voluntary courts or arbitration in pickletopia, the dystopian society that would result if pickle had his way.
90Tiger jumped in defending pickle in the thread regarding "no retribution" for crimes.
Since then he has said that unlike pickle, he is not opposed to putting people in cages, aka jails. I'm not sure how he squares that with his continual defense of pickle in that thread, but I'll take him at his word. Some instinctively jump in to defend pickle even when they disagree with what he is saying. It seems to be something similar to a gang sticking together.
