I live in Chicago, and our protests take over most of our major roadways here. It’s a minor inconvenience compared to being harassed, assaulted or shot by the cops. And while I don’t live in Houston, I do have family there. Never have they bellyached about any of the protests, and they are chronic complainers. There…

You aren’t too well versed in how protests work, are you? Nondisruptive protests do not work.

I stayed an hour late... which one of those did I fix?

I am calm, so I’m not sure why you feel the need to tell me to calm down. Again, just say you don’t understand what civil disobedience is. It’s never been about your convenience, and protesters owe you as much consideration for your being late as you do about running them over because you’re inconvenienced. Last I…

You telling protesters to “get over” ourselves while throwing a multi-comment tantrum is some shit.

“his client was just trying to de-escalate the situation with the driver”

Thank you for proving my point. It’s been ages since a troll called me a whore over a Jez comment. Cosby posts really bring your sort out of the woods for some reason.

TESTIMONY IS EVIDENCE YOU FUCKFACE.

Yeah, you sure can’t change a systemic problem that allows predators to thrive. You sure can’t. That would be madness!

Direct testimony of the victim IS evidence, as much as anything else. The requirement of “corroborating” evidence for a rape conviction was eliminated decades ago. You’ve been brainwashed by watching TV shows like CSI into thinking that if there’s no forensic evidence, it didn’t happen.

NOPE.

And the testimony of someone who claimed to be assaulted by the defendant in the same way. And sworn testimony from the defendant that he had seven prescriptions for Quaaludes that he gave to women he wanted to have sex with...

As with most rape trials, there was no hard evidence.

Because you absolutely need a law degree to comment on a blog post about an obvious serial rapist. I’ll just keep my mouth shut until I successfully graduate from law school.

Nah. In this country Ryan Lochte drunkenly destroys property abroad and white 20 year olds rape unconscious women and are labeled “kids” while actual children (non-white, of course) are being body-slammed and hand-cuffed by the police for tiny offenses.

White men are “kids” until 40. #boysbeingboys

I will never, ever stop being amused that there is obviously a batsignal that goes off in all the Sad Boys’ Basements any and every time a Jez commenter dares to criticize a defense lawyer in a rape case (and ONLY rape cases). Imagine if that was your hobby. It’s so bizarre.

I’m getting pregnant just thinking about it!

Wow! No, not fucking funny.
