The website is about one issue, the paradox that Liam Allan as a criminology student – with charisma, maturity and support – ended up in a court case that did not apply to him and only got out by chance, at the eleventh hour, after a two-year crucifixion, as a result of dysfunctions – including “disclosure of information”.
Everything else on the website is to illustrate the unimaginable dysfunctions.
It is not possible that someone ‘out of the blue’ can be accused of something that is not his nature.
To be accused of something that is a priori absurd.
The website deals with the issue on paper, which is identical as two drops of water to what happened to Liam Allan.
De website gaat over één kwestie, de paradox dat Liam Allan als criminologie student – met uitstraling, maturiteit en ondersteuning – in een rechtszaak terecht kwam, die niet op hem van toepassing was en er slechts per toeval, ter elfder ure uitgeraakte, na een kruisweg van twee jaar, als gevolg van disfuncties – o.a. “disclosure of information”.
Al het overige in de website is ter illustratie van de zich niet voor te stellen disfuncties.
Het kan niet dat iemand ‘out of the bleu’ zomaar kan beschuldigd worden van iets die zijn natuur niet is.
Beschuldigd worden van iets die a priori absurd is.
