Re: Silk Road Founder Ross Ulbricht Sentenced to Life in Prison
However, nobody was hurt by Ross and his DPR activities. At least they haven't come forward to suggest they were hurt. Actually, it is the other way around. A bunch of government people hurt Ross by stealing his property, and by blaming him for hurting people who never came forward with even a scratch (hearsay). They, the government people, should be sued to the max for hurting Ross and stealing his property.
Cannot be made such kind of reasoning. Even could be true (I don't believe that) that nobody was hurt by him, that cannot be a fact or element in favor of him. We cannot wait to happen something bad in order to condemn someone when it is well known that the illegal things sold through its platform brings pan, hurt, disease and distress. there would be the most right thing that could be made if it would be possible to prevent the bad and not to wait that this thing happen and then condemn the guilty person. So it would be better if him be sent in prison even earlier than the day in which was entered there. And for sure it would be so if the FBI would have been able to realize this.
Yes, reasoning can be made. Is most important to make this kind reasoning. Why?
1. If there were any hurt people, State should have brought at least one hurt person to trial to show how Ross hurt him. Maybe nobody hurt. Can't State find even 1 hurt man or woman in $millions of dollars of sales?
2. If someone wants something bad to happen to himself, why do you want to stop it? Want to take freedom away from person to hurt himself?
3. Do you judge what is bad for someone else? How do you know? If lose freedom because of things State feels are bad, maybe State will feel is bad to drive car tomorrow. No more car. Then maybe no more bicycle. Then maybe no more dinner plate. Then maybe must stay in house all the time. Then maybe no more freedom. Give State power; State take all freedom away.
Stop State from taking away freedom. State is only people. State is people taking property and freedom away from other people. Wait for harm or damage, then let State intervene.
Nobody force people to buy from Ross. All done by freedom. You no like freedom? You part of State? You want take freedom away from other people, just like State?
