“If he was just some working class kid in California, he’d have faced more time”

“lithium630" - as in, you forgot to take yours today it would seem.

And there will always be someone who picks the convicted rapists side. You’re it this time, I see.

It’s also a class issue. If he was just some working class kid in California, he’d have faced more time

By the rules of our future President and Overlord Donald “Tiny Fingers” Trump, I believe I now get to call you a racist. If you disagree with me, that’s just because you are racist against me. That’s how this works, yes?

And here’s how Facebook should handle those complaints:

So you believe that a college student, who is an athlete in a non revenue producing sport, who is black, and rapes an unconscious student, would get 6 months a host of people, including the judge talking about how unfair it is for him to serve any time? Or are you doing the remedial contrarian thing because you aren’t…

Don’t even bother with him, he’s hopeless. Once you see the phrase “professional victim” you know you are dealing with a gamergate/Thunderf00t fan type who gets spoon fed reasons why he, as the cis white male is the true “opressed” and doesn’t believe that racism, sexism, and classism are major problems in this…

I’m an upper middle class hetero cis-gendered white male of European descent. I am the quintessence of privilege.

Only an entitled white guy would think taking this meme down has nothing to do with being an entitled white guy.

You don’t get the race angle here? You have your head in the sand. Got it.

I believe white swimmer boy has been protected and shielded left, right and sideways. Ignore it all you want, but you look like a fool.

There is a racial element when you look at Facebook and see endless racial and ethnic slurs left there. But this actual true thing - about a well to do white kid - stands?

When it’s a racial issue, race tends to be mentioned. Sorry if that bugs you.

Yeah, racial issues wouldn’t exist if those who are negatively affected by white supremacy would just shut up about it, right? And to compare what kinds of racist, misogynistic, and homophobic things FB regularly tolerates to their deleting a true statement about an actual convicted rapist is just sooo inappropriate,…

Guys like this don’t fuck the willing for one or both of 2 reasons:

Christ...JUST FUCK THE WILLING.

THANK YOU. I can’t believe this thread. If I see the phrase “only digital” one more fucking time (and it’s coming even from the well-intentioned), I will put my head through a wall. We can discuss these details if we want. BUT, in doing so, we have to be really, really, really careful that we are NOT pulling out our…

There are plenty of ways to defend a child. His father could have acknowledged that his son did a very, very bad thing while also asking for forgiveness and a sentence that would allow his son to do good in the world; e.g. speak out against the myriad influences that allowed him to rape a woman in the first place. He…

Don’t do that. Don’t split hairs. This is not the right time to get into semantics.
