I don't, I only support it when the guy is probably not guilty of what he was accused of.

Really? So unless you make a thread about every single abuse of power from government, then you don't really care about any abuse of power from government? Unless you care about every single crime committed in the world, you don't really care about crime? Unless you highlight every single terrorism incident around the world, you don't really care about terrorism incidents?
**** gbaji, you're gonna have to make **** loads of threads if you want to be able to comment on anything...

People who have to lie about their positions in order to gain support for them? Yeah. I think so. You'd think that a sane person might just re-assess their position first. I also always wonder how someone doing that feels when they "win". See. Cause if I oppose something and I convince other people that the thing I oppose is bad, so they stop doing it, that's a real win. But if I oppose something, but instead of convincing people that it's bad, I instead convince them that we shouldn't do it for some completely unrelated reason, what have I done? Nothing. I've just convinced people that the unrelated reason is important, but not the thing I really care about.
I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about here, or how that relates to anything in the thread, sorry.
