It is unrelated. The article is about social dynamics, and the ways in which moral errors open the door to greater evils--not about individual instances of criminal behavior. You basically read the title, thought of an example that countered the surface meaning of the title without any reference to what it referred to, and then claimed that is "my logic." Read the article for my logic.
The very fact that there are rapist intruders running around is an example of the dynamic I laid out in the article: it is a sign that something has already gone very wrong.

Which is itself a sign that our judicial systems are slipping towards anarcho-tyranny.

We have different definitions of normality. I'm not talking about statistics.

Agreed.
I'm talking about history, you should really consider studying it.
Misses the point again.
Point out which part is confusing and I'll gladly simplify it for you.
The point of the jargon is to obscure his flawed logic.
No.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. Harrison appears to have fallen for it.
Funny.
