Like a middle aged drunk auntie who rolls in on christmas eve several airplane cocktails in and comes downstairs after unpacking with no pants on and instantly brings a new vibe to the family christmas show. Totally been there.

I’m a computational linguist, which means I studied how to make this kind of tech.

No. Prison rape/violence is not funny, edgy or okay. Especially when you consider that around 4% of prisoners are actually innocent and another HUGE portion are in for non-violent drug offenses. Wishing rape or violence on another human being is monstrous.

I came here to say this. People are arrested and charged wrongfully fairly often by the police. (Though I am not in any way defending this man. The facts of the case tend to point towards guilt.) BUT, so many of our individual freedoms hinge on innocent until proven guilty. It’s unfair and unjust to punish someone…

what if you kick him out of college then he’s acquitted at trial ? School looks bad and he probably sues the school. I don’t have a problem with it. Complaint should be at law enforcement for dragging their feet on the investigation. Plus, he can be on reasonable pretrial release conditions, like no alcohol, no…

I seriously doubt Loyola had an investigative wing that goes deep into the backgrounds of every student. He didn’t have a criminal record when he applied. He didn’t even have pending charges. He didn’t commit the crime at Loyola or even while he was a student there. It even happened in another state. How were they…

Thats a bad precedent to set if you know how flawed our justice system is when it comes to POC.

Exactly - I don’t believe colleges run criminal background checks, and they may not have even known, or at least not known till after the fact. His application could have been in before any of this happened for all we know.

So we’re mad at the university for not throwing him out based on shifting charges before a trial, rather than at the justice system for taking 3.5 years to get to trial? It’s not Loyola’s fault a rapist was walking around for 3.5 years (potentially committing more crimes).

This. And, by the same token, is it good policy for a university to disclose such charges to the student body when there is a plea of not guilty and trial hasn’t occurred?

I think the core problem here really is the extremely slow pace of the criminal justice system. It should not have taken 3.5 years for a case with such clear evidence to move from arrest to conviction.

Yeah. I don’t really want colleges rejecting applicants before they’ve gone to trial. That’s a bad policy. And for every violent rapist who looks like this kid there are several innocent men who look like “thugs” or who have mental health issues who are also waiting to go to trial.

I have to agree with you. I’m not sure all what Loyola admissions office takes into account when processing students, but if he has a pending trial, its not certain to affect his admittance. I doubt the school is going to investigate into the details of his trial and make a decision based on their feelings. Rather, if…

I really can’t muster any outrage. I mean, do people want a department dedicated to rolling background checks on college students? He wasn’t indicted until 2015 and it initially looked like a statutory charge that would be covered under Romeo and Juliet laws. I’m not sure what the expectation of the college was here…

No, allegations of anything are enough to to fire someone, kick them out of school, put them in jail, castrate them, and execute them. Stop being an MRA.

Hate to say it.....

Clinton lost because her campaign sucked

Dems need to learn that punching left isn’t going to win any elections. Blaming Bernie is dumb and misguided, it was the Dems own fault for going all in on a candidate with approval ratings almost as low as Trump’s, was percieved as completely untrustworthy, and who was in the middle of an ongoing FBI investigation.

Latest excuse is that Putin has a personal grudge against her.

The DNC is fucked because they:
