The most hardened criminals in society regard the sexual exploitation and abuse of children to be the most repulsive and indefensible acts that a person can commit. Thats why they kill them the first chance they get behind prison walls. Thats why the convited sexual predators have to be segregated from the rest of the prison population. Otherwise they'd all be dead within their first 24 hours of prison.
There is only one segment of society that I know of that has ever been stupid enough to even attempt to mount a defense for not knowing what the entire world clearly knows, and has known for 1000's of years.
The obvious out of context quotes attributed to a woman who is so important and notable that she has had exactly one interview in her entire career, are a curious sidenote to the fact that the scumbags in Brooklyn would even attempt to mount a defense, or try and deflect attention away from the real issue.....which is that because of their pomposity and arrogance and continual overstepping of bounds, they did what no other citizen in the US would do. They OBSTRUCTED justice by not immediately turning over information to the proper authorities, thereby providing a safe haven for predators within the KH's of America.
There is no defense for the indefensible.
