I think we can all agree that withholding your HIV status is wrong. But he’s just getting retried, he’s not going free. There was a lot of fuckery in this trial:

Am I supposed to be relieved by this? This man knowingly and willingly exposed his partners to a potentially life threatening disease without their consent. At least one contracted the disease.

I think that claim has been pretty effectively debunked.

Listen, the man had every right to defend himself to get her away from him. She laid her hands on him twice, both times aggressively. Argue all you want about the merits of laying your hands on a woman and what not, but he was within his rights to act. Probably shouldn’t have tried quite so hard to completely…

You do know people will die in 2017 too, right?

Because we need to get our minds off things for a bit, and because I think Craig Sager would want us to smile:

Because this is Jezebel, and the bloggers here have a narrative to confirm to.

Nah you right, I’m constantly reminded on this site that as a straight white male my “fee fees” don’t matter, or is it that my tears are delicious? Idk, I just hope 4 month old Addie never discovers this site, I would like her to form her own thoughts.

I’m surprised Jezebel had the integrity to publish this story instead of burying it. Good on you for maintaining a semblance of impartiality.

Right, to humiliate him by making him wear women’s clothes, which most men would find embarrassing... because they think women are bad?

Seriously? You “feel” for this girl? This was not a dumb mistake. This was a very harmful, deliberate lie that will HARM real victims of hate crimes.

Whyyyyyy does this keep happening?

Who is shocked by this, other than progressives who wanted it to be true since it paints Trump supporters in a bad light?

To my fellow minorities and marginalized folks:

I dont think deadspin deserves any kudos at all. They do the right thing once and drag everyone else thru the mud the rest of the time and they get kudos? no, they do not.

This is exactly why people hate keyboard SJW’s. What they do doesn’t matter in the first place, and secondly there is no accountability for the atrocious things they say about the accused whose guilt has not yet been determined.

He’s so lucky he’s not white too. They’d go extra crazy, bc #privilege

This is my problem with the way these events/alleged events are reported here and elsewhere: every time a witch hunt gets started and then it turns out it was wrong, it damages the credibility of future, real assault allegations.

Sorry, this gal needs to face some serious weight for this. Fucking around with false accusations just dilutes the real and actual gravity of abuse and abusive relationships.

Can you ask Jezebel to cross post this just so they one billion unique clicks, and a few trillion comments?
