Could you be more specific? "A lot of damage to humanity" is a quite strong claim with deep ethical implications. I would prefer a concrete example of such an act.

It would take me a week to go through every detail but wikipedia has some summaries:

"It would take me a week to go through every detail"

I did not request every incident, but just one concrete example that would validate the quite strong characterization.

In the United States being sued is not a proof of guilt, it's just a proof of being sued.

This is unlike in some other countries, where the guilt of the person is presupposed and the purpose of the court ruling is just to make it official.

What constitutes "lots of damage to humanity" in those paragraphs you've provided?
