so when someone admits to a crime, they should never be released when it's found they were coerced into a confession? Is that what you're saying? Those five black kids that confessed and then fought that they were coerced and got released, shouldn't have been because they confessed? hmmmmmmmm you be on the wrong side of that jack. I'm laughing at you again.Flynn lied and even admitted his guilt, but in this post-modern world things aren't as they are, they change and mutate and soon wrong doing becomes someone else's fault or another interpretation. Hillary had email, oh the horror, Trump abused women, boys will be boys. Depends on where you are or what you want to believe. Nothing is real. Imagine Truman or Eisenhower or Lincoln or FDR, what would they think of the post modern conservative apologist who changes reality before our eyes. The 'Pied Piper' still roams the world, only now he leads some away from order into the make believe where law is no longer law.

"Humans universally make Us/Them dichotomies along lines of race, ethnicity, gender, language group, religion, age, socioeconomic status, and so on. And it’s not a pretty picture. We do so with remarkable speed and neurobiological efficiency; have complex taxonomies and classifications of ways in which we denigrate Thems; do so with a versatility that ranges from the minutest of microaggression to bloodbaths of savagery; and regularly decide what is inferior about Them based on pure emotion, followed by primitive rationalizations that we mistake for rationality. Pretty depressing."

-"The trouble with Eichmann was precisely that so many were like him, and that the many were neither perverted nor sadistic, that they were, and still are, terribly and terrifyingly normal. From the viewpoint of our legal institutions and of our moral standards of judgment, this normality was much more terrifying than all the atrocities put together." Hannah Arendt
