Wasn’t it once the role of the most noble among us to look upon those who had been cast aside by society and welcome them into fellowship and reformation?

Obviously Epstein had issues and the government failed in their duty, but to cancel everyone who ever associated with the man is insanity. I don’t cancel the people in my family who are affiliated with people convicted any crime. If I came across a childhood friend convicted of murder (I have a few to be honest), I’d like to think I wouldn’t just cast them aside or refuse to speak with them. I certainly wouldn’t deem anyone who soaks with them later in life as worthy of cancellation.

This nonsense has gone too far. [/quote]

It’s not about “cancelling” everyone but people taking responsibility for lapses of judgement and morality.  Ignoring is endorsing.  [/quote]

New poster. I am all for going after the co-consirators to the full extent of the law. Anyone who was participated by procuring victims or abusing them, whatever party, should rot in jail. Anyone who knew about it and looked the other way should face legal consequences.

[b]But putting someone who invited the guy to a wedding or even academics who kept up friendships with seedy people because the stupid system requires them to raise their own money is wrong. Utterly wrong. For one thing, if they didn't know what was happening, they in no way broke the law. And morally, these groups have nothing to do with one another.[/b] [/quote]

Wow, could not disagree more!

1.  Epstein was convicted of soliciting a minor in 2008.  Anyone who communicated with him after this point knew, at the very least, that he was into young prostitutes.  Do YOU “innocently” have any close friends who are into young prostitutes, pp?

Also, these are people with wealth, connections, and time.  You think they just innocently don’t happen to know the reputation of someone like Epstein?  Really?

2.  If you reap enormous money and social status from working within our “stupid system,” instead of working to change it, then yeah, your reputation should take a huge hit when one of your friends and benefactors is the biggest human trafficker in US history.  Thems the breaks!  Sorry if that seems “unfair” to you.

3.  Plenty of people blew Epstein off or declined to associate with him PRECISELY because of his reputation which was WELL KNOWN in these circles.  You’re not hearing about them because they accomplished their mission of not being caught up in this mess, but one example would be the CEO of Hermes, who Epstein reached out to over and over again and who blew Epstein off every time because he KNEW he was a seedy, creepy guy.  See how he protected his brand, his company, and his own personal reputation?[/quote]

I posted two above you and agree. Norm Finkelstein also fit into category 3 and called out Epstein, Dershowitz, and Harvard’s Pinker is saying NO to an invitation to meet with Epstein, citing the sex abuse explicitly, in 2015.

Everyone knew. They KNEW.[/quote]
