They don’t. And the people who say being drunk means men can’t be held responsible for raping women are always the same people who insist that rape victims are to blame for their own rapes because they were drunk.

Now he has learned the law looks dimly on “merely” setting up and stocking a rape party.

“He was too drunk to understand his actions”

He said he didn’t touch her and he’s a known liar so his word is worth nothing to me. Even if he didn’t commit the rape, he procured her for the express purpose of being raped by his teammates. He was the ring leader in this and deserves the biggest punishment.

I dont get this “too drunk to rape” logic anyway. If I get wasted, get behind the wheel of a car, and kill someone it doesn’t stop being a crime because I was drunk, it just becomes negligence. I’ve said it before and I’ll repeat it now. Irresponsible drinking does not absolve you of responsibility for your actions.

Good for the jury to see through his bullshit and laughable defense. “He was too drunk to understand his actions”. Meanwhile, this scum sucker managed to pass out condoms to the other players, took video of the crime and sent it to friends as it was going on. He was sober enough to understand not leaving dna…

Hey, bro. Bro. Bro. Check this shit out, bro. You watching, bro? This is gonna be sick, bro.

Good. Rapists get tried, occasionally. Not nearly as often as I’d like. Victims are tried every time.

No one wanted to do it because it was a crap script that disrespected Nina Simone, attached to a director who didn’t get what Nina Simone was about.

She’s been shovelling so long you’d think she would have gotten a clue by now. Saldana also said in an Allure Interview, June 2013,“ Let me tell you: If Elisabeth Taylor can be Cleopatra, I can be Nina”.

Something that doesn’t get mentioned in all this, that I think is more implausible than the makeup and the fake nose, is that we were supposed to believe that Saldana, in her thirties, is playing a woman during a period in her life when she was in her mid sixties. It MIGHT (and that is a big MIGHT) have worked if…

Ugh. Yes. I feel a pretty put-off by the fact that she thinks no one knew who Nina Simone was before this mess of a movie came out. That’s just an insult to the massive waves that amazing woman made in her lifetime and after.

She doesn’t seem to realize that the complaints weren’t that the nose and paint made her look ugly because those features are ugly, the nose and paint looked ugly because they were poorly done, obviously fake and made her look like a melting ball of wax.

Listen, aside from personal safety considerations, I think a phone breakup over a 15 months-long relationship is a dick move. But I don’t like Adam “Calvin Harris” Wiles, either, so...

I think Zoe should maybe never open her mouth on this subject again. It’s like she’s got a shovel and she wants to keep digging deeper and deeper...

I got bullied pretty bad as a kid. Much younger than this, but still, I remember. A kid is going to minimize a situation at first b/c this is their peer group that they have to live in. Even adults have a very hard time blowing the whistle on the people that surround them.

If a swing “accidentally” caused that kind of an injury to a child, they would have chopped it up with an axe for fear of liability.

When my brother first entered the second grade, his (white female) teacher reported that he wasn’t ready, and he went back to his first grade classroom and was held back a year. This fact always confused me because I’ve always personally thought my brother was very smart. But his teachers never seemed to treat him…

Oh, sure, just “boys being boys,” eh? Just a little friendly kicking of a girl who’s been bullied physically all school year. Nice rationalizing.
