This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.

Rules

Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.

As per .world worldnews mod, no discussing naughty stuff like jury nullification.

While this post is blowing up, here's the book referenced by the shooter:

"only God may judge us"

It's okay, as an atheist, I only recognize the moral authority of humankind, so judge away.

More seriously speaking, PTB. It would be one thing if the justification was "We REALLY do not want any legal trouble and we are just not equipped to take on any challenges, so we're playing it safe", but "i consider human life sacred"? They can fuck off.

Human life is sacred, which is why I'm celebrating this POS no longer being able to abuse the sick to make a few extra bucks.

Also, WTF does the mod think "jury nullification" is? Wouldn't he be against all jury trials? You'd think he'd support nullification if he really believes only God may judge us...

I know, I'm trying to make sense of the rantings of a True Believer.

And reading the shit they post, they're judgemental as all hell.

I wouldn't be surprised if this dust-up loses this fool their mod powers on LW.
