    This isn’t punishment, since only states can can (legally) impose punishment. Also, the public is not a court, so they don’t have to adhere to judicial declarations of guilt. “Innocent until proven guilty” only concerns the state.

      it’s not a legal punishment but it is very much still a punishment in effect. whether you are in court or not you should still work of off “innocent until proven guilty” for the same reason the courts do. it’s wrong to punish someone until you know for sure that they did something wrong.
