Unless you've been living under a rock, it's been hard to avoid the incessant media coverage surrounding the "Epstein Files". This story has grown legs since the Democrats decided - having ignored the issue for four years when it wasn't politically convenient - to make the cause of the "files" a central piller of their opposition to Trump.
Since then there's been a slew of public figures - most notably Prince Andrew - caught up in the fallout, with wild accusations of paedophilia being levelled at all and sundry.
As ever with these stories, the most striking and unnerving aspect to all (in my mind) has been the behaviour of the ugly mob who've rallied behind the cause in doing away with any notions of justice and fair procedures.
The files themselves don't comprise of solid evidence. No court of law would admit them. Much of what has been released is unverified and in many cases false.
But they hasn't stopped the ugly mob going after people like George Mitchell, calling for their expulsion from public life.
Of course this isn't them first time the ugly mob has disgraced itself. We saw the same thing with the #metoo movement, where online mobs took it upon themselves to act as judge, jury and executioner, hounding individuals on the basis of wild accusations, justified on the grounds of "I believe her".
Likewise in this country, every few years there's a witch hunt where the ugly mob are free to slander Priests - many dead - on the basis of spurious accusations, in some cases dating back many years. Those seemed guilty by the mob have no recourse to justice and can't defend themselves.
I think the below quote from a US journalist, discussing academic Noam Chomsky, sums up well the cretinous mindset of these kunts.

"Vijay Prashad, who collaborated on two books with Chomsky, said something very instructive in the melodramatic statement he made when the news broke, which is that ‘no context’ could possibly explain any of this. Socialist journalist Chris Hedges responded in a similar manner. These people don’t think it necessary to learn any more about the underlying facts or evidence. No additional information or context will change their view on this situation or the inculpation of Chomsky."
