I just read it, and the writer hit the nail on the head, and then ended with the perfect words from the poet himself.
Forgot about that travesty.
Good choice! He'd be perfect.
What?! They cannot, absolutely cannot, cast a white man as Rumi, or Shams. For fucks sake! The effect those men have had on the spirituality of millions can't be understated. So casting white men is just another big middle finger to, well, everybody. Inventing and resurrecting, so not at all accurate to who Rumi was…
You're doing it right already.
I completely agree that forgiveness is used like a cudgel to shut rape victims up. People really believe women should just forgive and move on. What’s done is done and ruining his life won’t change it, blah, blah, blah. On the other hand, forgiveness is not for the perpetrator, it’s for the victim. A person forgiving…
This letter I understand. She doesn't say he's innocent, she says he's crushed the jury ruled against him. This a letter from a mother who loves her son, and as a mom I can empathize. But, he belongs in prison, and has gotten off with a slap on the wrist. His parents should be grateful.
@Fefu Same thing happened on another thread I was on. Everyone’s responses started coming to me because I was the original post. Serious Kinja issues these days. But to answer you, God only knows. The man has daughters and a son, so he's going to raise rape apologists like Leslie and a predator/victim of a politically…
I know. What a willfully ignorant piece of crap. It really isn’t hard to find the facts of the case, but he didn’t bother, because the facts aren’t as important as how he feels. Witch hunt. The fact that he disparages the witnesses instead of lauding them and holding them up as an example to his son is so disgusting.…
Facbook post from one of his supporters a friend shared. Here is another quote, from a different person, from the same post I mentioned initially:
“I have yet to see anything that claims that there was penetration (though it may be that I simply haven’t found it yet), just a shitload of innuendo and clever syntax. What…
She really should just stop.
And how proud are their parents? Practically bursting with it I imagine. I know I would be.
I love the decency and class these two have displayed from the rescue to now. They've never wanted attention, and instead said read her letter. I love Jonsson's words.
I hated when Trip died. He was one of my favorite characters on that show.
Rape is not a poor decision, it's a violent crime against another human being. No, it wasn't anyone else's responsibility to take care of her, it's called having compassion and empathy. Regardless, its was everyone else's responsibility to not assault her, to not see an unconscious person as a blow up doll with a…
Easy, she was passed out drunk with pine needles inside of her because of him, and he was cognizant enough to run away, and deny doing anything. He only claimed she consented months later when he changed his story. So he's a rapist.
No, that was rape. He screwed her while she was asleep. Who cares if they had sex before, and who the hell cares if they were making out a bar. She passed out and he stuck his dick in her. Rape.
