“The rapper was previously on house arrest while awaiting trial on charges including aggravated battery of a pregnant woman, domestic battery by strangulation, false imprisonment and witness-tampering, but the judge let him off so that he could go on tour.”

Funny how ‘zero tolerance’ law enforcement is always aimed at the peons, isn’t it? You don’t see ‘zero tolerance’ laws for white collar criminals (aka campaign donors).

This is how psychological damage is made:

When human rights violations are being committed by an illegitimate adminstration? Yes, absolutely.

The people who support this were fine with doing absolutely nothing when innocent children died in Sandy Hook. Why would they care about living children (who aren’t even citizens), when dead kids were just fine? They give a fuck about NOTHING but themselves. Not America. Not Jesus. Not anything but themselves.

FOR ALL.

Hell, I’m a nonviolent person, and this is giving me all sorts of angry, extremist thoughts.

Um, yes. How is it that we are the only two people who seem to be complaining about this? Like you, I’m not overlooking the terrible immorality of this, but since the Republicans all seem to have checked their hearts and their morals at the door, I’m hoping there’s Machiavellian argument that might appeal to them.

Look, they simply have a zero-tolerance principle when it comes to law-breaking, just like their...uh...er...

Putting the morality argument aside for a moment (which I can’t imagine being on the side arguing this is moral), even from purely self-interest this is a fucking horrible idea for the US. THIS IS HOW EXTREMISTS AND TERRORISTS ARE MADE. This is ready-made anti-US propaganda. Further, many of these kids will be…

Let’s go Nazi fucks. Bring on your whataboutisms and “They shouldn’ta oughta broke the law” bullshit.

All of these are crimes against humanity. All of them.

“If he was emotionally abusive then her decision to stay was a mistake”

Man, this comments section REEKS of Axe body spray and PBR.

What am I actually prejudiced against? I am sure most of his fanboys won’t care about what he has or has not done but AMC has a wider audience than that and if he is guilty than it can really harm the brand. They aren’t canceling him, they are suspending the show as they investigate. Not doing so could hurt their…

#MeToo Movement has turned into a female vengeance machine?

Right?! It’s awesome that women are finally being listened to!

Says someone who has had the fortune to never be emotionally abused.

As I read Dykstra’s story, I felt more and more angry. I’ve had two people I care about deeply go through similarly abusive relationships in the last two years, and they followed the same pattern of isolation and destruction of their partner’s self-worth. It just makes my blood boil that through all this time Hardwick…

Hardwick released his own statement last night, denying the claims made in Dykstra’s essay.

Uh, he denied one claim (sexual assault) and pitter-pattered around the rest of her claims.
