I am making no excuses for Trump. But you seem hell bent on making excuses for prosecutorial misconduct.
A friend writes
"Actions have consequences." But most of the time, they do not. What were this man's actions, and what were the consequences? Apparently he walked past helpful policemen, walked around, took pictures, left. These actions had consequences - detention without trial, despair, suicide. If he had been a wealthy grifter, he would have faced no consequences. If you're Joe or Hunter Biden, you can make money, big money, suborning or collaborating with governments; you might even be allowed to walk around and take pictures without being jailed. If you're of the approved class, you can quite literally burn cities, kill people, destroy whatever you want, and you will not be hunted, jailed, prosecuted. You might even be allowed to walk around and take pictures - actions which, according to some, are treasonous and require permanent detention, without bail, without hope of trial. If you are correctly affiliated, you can riot and burn, night after night, forever if need be, and your government will not hunt you down, will not imprison you, will even allow you to walk around and take pictures - all without consequences.
But yes, actions have consequences, sometimes, for some people. So choose better friends and associates, do not keep wrong or unapproved ideas, do not walk around and take pictures, avoid consequences. Above all do not protest your government, not here, not in Canada, not in Russia, not in China. There will be consequences.
