My stand would have to be “No”.
Why??
Well not because I like to see criminals get away with it … but because I believe people have to be accountable for voting for these leaders.
OK some of these criminals didn’t get voted for but you lot voted for the leaders who raised them to positions of power.
Every time you “cast your vote” you provide the “mandate” for evil men to do what ever they like with “your full support”.
Make yourself accountable first.
STOP VOTING.
STOP PASSING / CASTING YOUR MANDATE TO KNOWN EVIL MEN.
Only after you refuse to gift your mandate can you comment against these evil men.
Till then, and whilst you’re gifting your blessings to these evil men by voting for them or their leaders, you have no “right” to point the finger at anyone.
