The equivalence is based on the common (and unsustainable) assumption that there is such a thing as an untampered population. It's some kind of Garden of Eden fantasy.

So your whole position here is just an objection to the concept of a jury? I'm sorry, I didn't understand that. You can have judge trials, jury trials or mob trials. I would have said the third was the worst of the three.

Sure. I'm not really attached to any particular detail of the legal process. Here's the point: There has been a political effort to cover up the effects of mass immigration and multiculturalism, at least when they get to the point of mass rape.

Nothing that happened in Leeds was part of that cover-up, and claiming that it was, will, when all is published as it will be, make a lot of people look silly. That's the reason I was trying to calm down the hysteria.
