Kulturkampf

[benji]

If the quoted person wasn't radically posturing and being inherently hostile because of it they could have emphasized that first sentence, that they don't want public defenders to exist because they don't want criminal trials or any kind of policing system to exist.

Which doesn't make it any less stupid because as we've all seen thousands of times when asked "what should replace it?" Their answer is "I refuse to answer that so stop asking."

That also gets to the thing in what HaughtyFrank posted, they don't want rapists tried (since they could go free, even though they're prison abolitionists) because their argument is that by eliminating the system nobody will rape and if they do the community can just dole out justice to the guilty automatically. Any argument that is this unrealistic and/or worse than the existing system is time for you to find out that shutting the fuck up is free.
