I laughed hard, with chills going up and down my spine. Then I giggled when I read that it was his birthday AND that some of the victims’ supporters sang him happy birthday. My entire soul is a meme of Grumpy Cat right now and I am grateful for it. I just assumed it was going to go the other way and by the looks of it…

he mouthed “i didn’t do it” at the end—i think in the direction of the jury. seems like the act of someone who’s convinced he didn’t commit a crime and that these girls wanted what he did with them. he’s scum for thinking that obviously. but i’m not so sure his tears are about taking responsibility so much as shock…

I’m just glad that 13 of those charges involved the 13 women that testified. To be able to get up in court like that takes true courage, and I certainly do not blame the other women who decided not to take the stand. It shows (at least I hope) that the jury took all 13 women seriously, and that 5 more cases had enough…

Given that he combined his sobbing with incredulously asking the jury how they could possibly have found him guilty, I’m going to say there is absolutely zero chance he feels any remorse. His only regret is that he wasn’t allowed to serially rape vulnerable women with impunity.

I’m afraid they are no more than “these women ruined my life!” tears. Like so many sex offenders, that’s the only way he’ll see it and he’ll never actually take responsibility for his actions. Which is exactly why he needs locking up, away from a society with vulnerable women for him to prey on.

I mean, I guess he could be crying out of genuine remorse. But I doubt it. I think it just demonstrates that despite what he’s done, he still thinks he’s “better” than his victims and he’s actually devastated that a jury of his peers had the audacity to punish him for it. I think he literally can’t believe that his…

For reals he SAID THAT?

it was disgusting to watch on the livestream. i’m shaking with rage!

Seriously. The way Oscar Pistorius cried in court every day, snot every where, throwing up. Like, Jesus, get a fucking grip, asshole. You killed your girlfriend in cold blood with four “zombie stoppers” that basically destroy an entire skull, and suddenly you’re a kid again and can’t stop crying in public. That…

I have no doubt he was guilty on all 36 and quite a few more. Given how little rape is ever legally punished in our society, ESPECIALLY against women of color and women with records, and given how long the damn jury took, I thought he was going to go scot free. The amount of relief I feel is physical at this verdict,…

Yup and it’s always a pity party of one. That guy isn’t crying over what he did to all those women, that guy is crying that he didn’t get away with it.

It just makes me want to scream “FFUUUUCCCK YOUUUUU” so loudly, and with large gestures.

He actually says to the jury as he approaches the bench, “how could you do that? how could you do that?”
Rage. Blinding rage. How could THEY do that? I hope this fuckin’ guy really enjoys his possible 263 years.

Seeing people who have callously committed horrific acts on other people start to cry when forced to take (some) responsibility for their conduct always makes me hate them even more.

song is very annoying

I hated “All of Me” from the moment I heard it.

Uhh, if you look at the head, I’m pretty sure that’s a bird beak, not a dragon snout. Tangentially related, I heard this great interview with Danial Radcliff where he talks about how Richard Harris (who was not in the best of health) absolutely thought the animatronic Fawkes was real, and used to talk to it all the…

He also did some weird shit to his face. He looks fake, like the Richard Harrow mask from Boardwalk Empire, except his whole face.

Huh, something unattractive on Ben Affleck’s body.
