No, I responded to their comment as-is. It's you putting words in someone's mouth again, not I.

The way you can tell what they mean is this line: "More you punish the victims better you make out." Nobody in America thinks that judges make out for punishing actually-innocent people. That's not what "victims" means here.

They didn't say "judges". I think the American justice system has a grandiose disregard for its impacts on the falsely accused.

You're doing the thing again, even now.

I agree, I think it does as well. That's not what the guy said, though.

I think I'm just reading what his comment says, but maybe I am doing the same thing as you. I'm just better at it. I got his position correct, you got it wrong.

You told me what I believe, you got that wrong, too.

I didn't tell you, I asked :)

From my POV you seem to be making a lot of inferences and then declaring them correct, based on some information about the original intent that I must not be privy to?
