I hate to even say it but ... there were a set of trials that occurred in Europe in the middle of the last century. It seems like you would have been pro-defense ...
Nice Godwining, given that I've already clarified an hour ago (in response to Amadou) that I was not defending their actions, but trying to better understand motive to stop this happening again.
Thanks for calling me a Nazi for trying to better understand how people are motivated, by the way. I suggested improving protections for whistleblowers as a way to prevent this kind of situation in future. Clearly I instead should have been demanding permanent imprisonment (or even the death penalty) for specific people I don't like, all without a nod towards a fair trial. Then I wouldn't be like a Nazi at all!
