    Whether someone is informed or not is something that can be objectively analyzed. It had nothing to do with responsibility or guilt. Either they know or they don’t, it is an entirely separate topic whose fault that is.

      court: so you then hit the victim seventeen times in the head with a hammer. what do you have to say for yourself.

      defendant: I didn’t know that hitting a person that many times would kill them. I saw it happen on Looney Tunes hundreds of times and thought they would be fine.

      so by your own admission the defendant should be let go because they can’t be held responsible or guilty because they were uneducated and/or misinformed?

        No, I’m saying that discussion of innocence and guilt is a pointless distraction from the important parts of the conversation. It’s irrelevant, it doesn’t matter. There is nothing illegal about listening to gop bullshit, so it’s a pointless red herring to focus so heavily on it.

        What do you perceive the benefit of focusing on guilt to be? What’s the point?
