The longer the jury deliberated the more I was sure he’d go free. I’m glad that he’s going to jail and will no longer have free reign to rape vulnerable women.

I have no doubt he was guilty on all 36 and quite a few more. Given how little rape is ever legally punished in our society, ESPECIALLY against women of color and women with records, and given how long the damn jury took, I thought he was going to go scot free. The amount of relief I feel is physical at this verdict,…

Yep, all I could think of when I read it was his b-day today was “Happy fuckin’ birthday, Asshole!”

He actually says to the jury as he approaches the bench, “how could you do that? how could you do that?”
Rage. Blinding rage. How could THEY do that? I hope this fuckin’ guy really enjoys his possible 263 years.

I think he thought so, too. Surprise!

18...out of 36. Don’t get me wrong I’m glad he’s been found guilty at all. I had my doubts the jury would do the right thing . I know there’s some nuance here about why he was found guilty of only half of his charges that I’m probably missing. I just would’ve preferred to hear “guilty on ALL counts”. Still, watching…

rarely do i take pleasure in someone else’s visible suffering, but this piece of fucking basura deserves everything coming to him. just can’t believe the outcome; a former white cop, an all-white jury, and (as you say) the brave women who are the most vulnerable in our society did not inspire confidence in our fucked…

The fucking cowardice it demonstrates...

My martini joins your rum and Coke.

Me.

Fucker got the birthday gift he deserved. I honestly thought he’d get away with it. Justice prevailed for these women, and I hope that the judge throws the book at him and he never sees the outside of a prison again.

Watching that monster cry and shake was the closest thing to any kind of justice I’ve felt in a long while. Fuck him and may the brave women who shared their stories find peace.

Seeing people who have callously committed horrific acts on other people start to cry when forced to take (some) responsibility for their conduct always makes me hate them even more.

Time to celebrate! My rum and Coke will be dedicated to the guilty verdict... Who else is in?

Those kind of responses are exactly why some WOC won’t even identify as feminists

This is the problem with these people. They never recognize that they aren’t self-made. Zero humility.

They are even more odious now. “WOC arre demonizing people with good intentions and holding feminism back.” I am seriously waiting for some of them to tell us to sit down, shut up and wait your turn.

I’m glad she educated herself on this. Being wrong once is never the problem; many people choose to stay wrong forever.

I’m not mad. Good for you Patricia.
