Do you know that the photos don't show worse behavior? Do you think it's worth pretending that we've done enough so we can pat ourselves on the back now? How does that help the victims? Inaction is not action. |
No, I don't know if it shows worse behavior, those that have seen them indicate that it's not worse that what has already been released. If the point is prosecution, then prosecute. If there is not going to be be any prosecution, then what is the point of releasing them to the general public? But so far the idea here is to use the photos as a political football to dress down the previous administration and the people that worked within it.

You say you don't want to keep them hidden, you just don't want the public to able to see them. Can you please explain the difference?

Yes, AVAILABLE to the prosecutors is not the same thing as printed in ever newspaper and shown on every 11pm news. We didn't get to see the photos for OJ Simpson's trial nor do we see them for all the murder and homicides.

So, if someone is assaulted, or hit by a drunk driver, the best way for the victims to heal is for the evidence to be locked away?

I've not ever said make the evidence unavailable for prosecution. Both you and willravel need to learn to read what I've written and not what you want it to say.
