Resentful child syndrome isn't a thing.

It’s still not that easy. Do you think I could just go on Facebook, make a false accusation against a random person of prominence, and the person’s life is ruined?

“When someone puts it on social media, it becomes libel, however... the potential returns may not be worth the risk of losing.”

Just a tiny bit of pedantry from me:

The term rapist refers to someone that has committed the act of rape, not necessarily someone that has been convicted of the crime of rape. In this contact I would say it is appropriate for her to call the man that raped her a rapist, whether she went to the cops immediately or even…

When someone changes their subjective opinion of you, they don’t owe you due process. Same when a lot of people change their subjective opinion of you. He has no right to become widely loved and enjoy a stellar, unearned reputation. His rights have not been infringed. The government isn’t stopping him from speaking…

Man, you are intense and angry. Also, there is no singular comment, it’s your whole approach here. Also, the irony of your saying things like, “this is really simple” is astounding and quite humorous.

I mean, if I’ve stood for anything in this thread, it’s that words have meanings and just throwing around random angry legal words isn’t a good argument.

Yeah. To not have people attend your comedy shows and to have bookers not hire you for comedy gigs is exactly the same as being found guilty of rape and being sentenced and serving prison time and having your civil rights formally taken away as a felon and not being allowed to vote or live near children if you ended…

But you’re saying even if you report it to the police and they don’t file charges the alleged rapist shouldn’t be identified by the victim. Or are they allowed to tell some people? Their families? What if their sister tells other people? What if someone tells the alleged rapist’s current girlfriend and she puts it on…

You know that tweeting about people and not attending their comedy shows isn’t vigilante justice, right? And that vigilante justice is about the use of violent force to punish people for crimes, outside of the law? And that boycotting someone or using your words against them isn’t violent or vigilantism?

You’re such an asshole!*

as people use the term ‘due process’ all the time as shortcut, and not in legal sense.

That’s immediately what I thought of as well. And then I immediately wished that she doesn’t have any close friends or family. Because she seems terrible and should be alone at Christmas.

Oh, thank goodness. That was horrifying.

I am going to follow suit and share this picture of my exceptionally adorable puppy in the hopes of potentially circumventing some jezzie’s sociopathy-enduced rage at this article. Because in all seriousness, what the ever loving fk.

thank you for this kitty.

I will just leave this here. Along with affluenza sociopath, this story kills my heart. Our fifth rescue baby.

I think something inside my brain just broke.

I live in Indianapolis and the entire city has been shocked by this. And everyone, from Amanda’s husband, her neighbors, the police, and members of the African American community, along with the Ten Point Coalition, a group of AA ministers working with the police to better relations in that community, have been…
