Vanessa Paradis was with Depp for 14 years, and has 2 kids with him. He also dumped her for 27 year old Amber Heard, so she doesn’t have a reason to defend him. She publicly said he was never violent with her after Heard’s allegation.

I am not sure why people think white-trash felons get kid-gloves treatment. Is it because cops gave Dylann Roof a cheeseburger when they were trying to coax a confession out of him so they could give him the death penalty?

Yeah. Cops should be capable of diving into fifteen feet of murky water on a moment’s notice to conduct an underwater rescue to save some junkies.

Complying with police is a lot safer than resisting or fleeing them.

It is if you drive the stolen car into fifteen feet of water.

They didn’t “deserve” to die. But they did something extremely dangerous, and that danger manifested in harm.

Yeah. That’s not an Orthodox congregation. There have been hippie reform Jews for decades.

Cartoons did it first:

The investigations are extremely limited, relevant evidence is excluded, accused are not allowed to have representation at the panels, and they are not allowed to directly question the accuser.

Between 2 and 8 percent of rape accusations reported to the police are categorically proven to be false, but that doesn’t mean the other 92-98% of rape accusations are therefore true.

1.) Campus rape is not more common than elsewhere. Young women of college age who are not students are more likely to be victims of all kinds of crime than women who are students at residential colleges. Men who are not college educated are more likely to be violent abusers and violent criminals of all kinds than men…

We’re never going to see a fact narrative in this case other than Montague’s attorney’s. We’re unlikely to ever see the documents from the Yale investigation.

Everybody agrees that rape is a very serious crime, but not everyone shares the same definition of “rape.” Those who believe we live in a “rape culture” hold that a lot of sexual behavior that is normalized and accepted by society is actually rape.

He sued Columbia for allowing her to go forward with her demonstrations and encouraging her project after he’d been found “not responsible” in the hearing on her rape accusation.

It’s because the definition of rape, particularly on college campuses, has become extremely abstract and no longer requires the kind of violence that makes it clear to a third-party observer that a crime has occurred.

The Jordan Johnson rape case hinged on the testimony of David Lisak, who is Jezebel’s favorite rape expert. He is the academic who argues that women behave in “counterintuitive” ways during and after rape that often closely resemble the behaviors of women who consent to sex.

The guy at Columbia was found innocent repeatedly, FYI, by Columbia disciplinary panels. Nobody believed Emma Sulkowicz when they looked at the evidence.

Totally different situation. Abused women who are married are often financially dependent on their husbands and have no place safe to go to escape their abusers. This woman has her own residence to return to.

Why is scrutinizing her behavior before and after the incident a “stereotype.” We have no witnesses and no evidence to what went on when they were alone in the room, so we have to assess the situation in light of mutually agreed upon facts, or facts that can be substantiated by other witnesses and evidence.

It sounds like this could be our “affirmative consent” case, where the surrounding circumstances offer no indication that sex was nonconsensual, but the accused failed to make an affirmative showing of consent.
