Enabling is worse than the crime itself. "all it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing" -motherfuckign J RR Tolkien. Fuck the bible.
If you're defending someone who is accused of a crime... Well... you better have a really good fucking reason. Like being their defense attorney. Except, IMO, lawyers caught doing shenanigans shouldn't just get disbarred and MAYBE prison time. They deserve to be enslaved on sugar plantations. As well as their children. Just my 2 cents. If you give them a carrot, and have a suitcase nuke in their crawl space where their family lives... Well, would have to be pretty motivated to not take the carrot.
If you believe in the rule of law (which you should unless you're a fascist) you can defent a pedofile or any othet criminal without being on their side. Point is just to make sure they get a fair trial and justice happens.
You should, even. Being a pedophile is not a crime. Acting it out by harming children is a crime. And by far not all child sexual abuse is done by pedophiles.
