Who said anything about totally ending corruption or torture never happening again? That's a ridiculous leap to take from what I said. Can you please tell me where I said that by publishing these photos, we would never have another corrupt politician again or that it would mean the absolute end of torture throughout the future of mankind? If I'm wrong, let me know, but I think you're just taking what I said out of context and pointfucking it so that you can make your point by distorting mine.
You're right, politicians are corrupt, so by your logic, we just let it go and be complicit in enabling their corruption because they're corrupt anyway?
Why put a thief in jail if they'll just go out and steal again, right? Just save the taxpayers a lot of money and send him on his way?
When someone has power and chooses to abuse it, they should be called on it. The people should know the person they've elected is corrupt so something can be done. As a resident of Illinois, I'm glad Blagojevich was called out on being corrupt. I wouldn't want that douchebag having power just because corruption has been around for a long time so that makes it okay.
So how many released photos are enough? Are there guidelines to this that I'm not aware of? I didn't realize that we reached a photo quota.
So you keep asking this question to me and continually brush my answers without answering yourself, I have to ask, what purpose does hiding the photos serve? If releasing them must have a purpose, then hiding them has to as well, right?

I don't know how many is enough. enough to prosecute? enough to convict? seems a modicum of respect and composure for the VICTIMS themselves. I've already used that as a reason, but that's not enough, because of whatever the fuck reasons that aren't enough. Willravel doesn't think that the victims seem to count because they don't need to be around their family members, justice is the the only way to be and live right. whatever that seems to be.
I have never said that there is any reason to hide them. I've not asked for them to be hidden. I've stated that they don't need to be in front of the entire public in order to prosecute or investigate. Why don't the need to be in the public? That's obviously the next question, because as I've shown before, respect for the victims. Not the obscuring their faces, or such thing that willravel thinks is enough, because they still live with it day to day for the rest of their lives. The damage is done the trauma is done.
