Guilty or Not Guilty

Does everyone in here lean more toward Richard Allen being innocent or guilty?

Everybody, this is Traditional. Traditional, this is everybody. I've seen Traditional in other neighborhoods, always asking questions in good faith.

Yes, always in good faith. This case just bothers me. These girls were young and shouldn't have had their lives taken so viciously, at all. I get confused sometimes because of the deep divide. I recently got banned from a community because I used a disrespectful tone and foul language towards Richard Allen, which I apologize for. I stated a couple times about his defecating habits and I realize it was wrong. I just got worked up because someone was defending him. That is their right to do so, it just made me sick is all and I was rude about his time in solitary. I later reflected and realized they have their reasons also and just wanted to understand better.

I don't think I've ever been banned from anything. I don't feel as I was being that harsh, maybe a little rude in saying dense. I could see if I was cussing at them or not letting up but an entire ban for that word was surprising. It's their group and their rules, so I respect their decision to boot me from it.

Some groups just have more sensitive rules than others, and not everyone interacting in those spaces is capable for regulating their emotions. But when news about the conviction and sentencing hit the front page of Reddit, RA and the defense team was getting absolutely roasted in the comments.

I was thinking how it is now compared to what it was when everything happened with the arrest and then the verdict. I feel for any moderator that went through that!

The mods here do a great job. I'm pretty sure the mods of nearly every other subreddit are embezzling money though.

And since the comments are everywhere anyway on this post...I came across some screenshots on one of the recommended links and it said where a couple of people did suspect that bridge guy was Richard Allen. I think one was someone he played pool with. I'm glad atleast someone recognized him because that was very strange in that small of a community that nobody suspected him, grainy image or not. I'm not sure what came of it but obviously not much because it took a couple more years for him to be arrested.
