>"Innocent until proven guilty" doesn't apply to the fucking Unabomber. Bombing people is kind of his thing. He proved it, what, 16 times?

That won't stop people determined enough to defend him here, and as you can see people will die on that hill.

How many lives were saved due to his arrest? That we will never know, but I suspect the number is not zero.

I'm not defending him. I'm simply stating the fact that him having a bomb in his possession is insufficient evidence to convict him of the crime in question.

I am exonerated by fact. The prosecutors did not have enough evidence to convict him of a crime related to the live bomb they found.

What are you going to do to argue against that? Deny history? It already happened. He wasn't convicted.

I didn't even call you out, yet here you are acting like you've been personally attacked. You weren't. Whatever your fascination with Kaczynski, his manifesto is only of significance because of his terrorism. We're better off that he was found, arrested, and convicted.
