Arbitrary laws of adulthood also don't make it wrong. Age is indeed arbitrary. Thank you for agreeing to one of my main points. If she was 18, would you be so emotionally invested? Would this be news? Nope. Why? Because under the law, it's not a crime. In many states, age of consent is 16 and 17. So crime in some places but not others? Why the different standards? Crime in some centuries but not others? Why the different standards? What are they based on? Put forth an actual argument. Turn your brain on.
Please spare me the "omg patriarchal abusers" leftist talk. Not every "old man" is a manipulative predator. If you want to think your grandpa was fucked up, that's your prerogative. I dare you to say the same about Mary and Jospeh... you know, the earthly parents of God Himself. Silly teenager and old dude cause they did something that doesn't jive with our MoDerN PrOgreSSiVe sTanDarDs!
Can't tell if these kinds of posters are bots, shills, or really just that incapable of complex thought...
Thinking that you are capacity for complex thought is your defining character is how you allow leftists to gaslight you. I have seen this again and again. Maybe once we cleanup the world of evil and then everyone participates in society in good faith, these kind of debates have a place. Right now, all I see is a convicted pedophile being pardoned. If you cannot capitalise on that to help our fight then you are on the wrong side.
Except that by definition, he didn't engage in pedophilic acts. A 17 year old, is not a child. Have not people you side with, been wrongfully convicted? Or are the opinions of juries and judges supreme over truth?

Of all the judgements I would like to review and figure out, the case of a 56 yearold having sex with his 17 year old will not even make it to that list. Question is, why are you so passionate about this particular case? Do you know something about the guy we are not aware of? Was he fighting the Cabal and got set up? Thats the only possibility I can imagine for someone to get all worked up - unless there is a personal resonance to this.
Don't know him, or anything about him. Don't really care about him. But I do care about the truth and can't stand fake news. Throwing around the charge of pedophile is quite serious. It should be supported by facts. The fact that the girl was 17 and not a child, alone casts doubt on the charge because again, a 17 year old is not a child... we shouldn't have to keep repeating the definition of pedophilia. And then to find out that the guy married her and seemingly they have a healthy family relationship together with their children, clearly this was a far more complex case than the clickbait headline indicated.
What I care about is that we don't stoop to the same tactics as our foes. What I can about is that we do the research, get the facts, and draw rational conclusions instead of just blindly accepting everything we see from "trusted sources" like Don Jr. in this case. We're better than that.
See, now this is an example of how humans can and should be capable of engaging in civil, thought provoking, intellectual, purposeful discussion. Good frens make good frens, fren 😁
And yes, could just be falling for clickbait and unwilling to admit it. I will admit that I immediately updooted the OP before reading into the facts of the case and situation, which is quite significantly more complex than "dem gov bails out evil dem pedo man"
