Yes, exactly. This kid is a psychopath. To do that to another person? The taunting and then sodomy? Normal, in their-right-mind, people don’t do shit like that. The chances of him doing something like this again, is very likely. Especially since he did not get truly punished the first time around.

Thank you for posting this. It makes me understand this situation better. It does sound like this was a very racially charged trial, but I can not say that I am hoping for a different outcome. What he did was wrong, and he deserves to be punished, but it sounds like he (as well as his partners from these videos)…

I’m still not sure what to think. Personally, I don’t see how it wouldn’t at least be reckless endangerment to expose someone to an incurable infection.

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:

I think the rub here is the shocking revelation that a prosecutor in Missouri would withhold evidence in a trial against a black person.

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’m so sick of parents and expensive lawyers arguing that it’s unspeakably cruel for affluent young white rapists to face consequences.

Apparently this skin sack of feces believes the disabled kid wanted a coat hanger shoved up his rectum and kicked in deeper.

Um. This was rape. Nothing any lawyer says can make that not true, it is clear cut. Secondly, of course it was racially motivated, because who the fuck knows what a “Ku Klux Klan” song is? Third, yes, he was targeted for being “vulnerable” and that vulnerability is intersectional: he is both black and disabled. Black…

Also I am real f*cking tired of the narrative that we shouldn’t have stigmas follow the perpetrators for the rest of their life. F*ck that noise 

If the roles were reversed, he would be locked up and the key would be promptly tossed away.

and then the attorney...

I am sick. I just want to hug this poor child and let him know I am so sorry the world is so ugly and violent.

Why shouldn’t he be subject to the consequences of a sex offender when he is a fucking sex offender? Wow it’s so painfully obvious that white men and boys are allowed to do whatever the fuck they want.

I’m 100% sure all of these wealthy people will work hard to improve the conditions of blue collar Americans living in the rust belt because enriching others is the foremost thing on their minds.

A retired MAJOR? for any one who may not know, Major is the 4th Army officer rank. It is the LOWEST of the field grade ranks and is THREE ranks below a one star General. An Army Captain, one rank below a Major, typically ccommands a company. A major typically runs something like battalion S3 - Ops and Training. in…

Ok. It’s obvious now... Trump is assembling a real world COBRA. Won’t be long before he dons the helmet and demands we call him Cobra Commander. Who is his Destro though? Who is the Baroness? Dr Mind Bender? The twins? OH SHIT, YOU GUIZE!?? WHO IS SERPENTOR?!!????!!!?!

I wonder who the poorest person in Donald Trump’s phone is.

I’m happy I don’t have to work with the general public. My wife is a healthcare provider and every day a sizable number of patients will show up more than an hour late to their appointment and then get irate when they can’t be seen immediately. “My appointment was at 1, surely she can see me now at 3:30. She’s had a…

Come on, after the first two slide-offs behind their trucks, they most definitely SHOULD have had the common sense to put out more cones - the guy was getting in the bucket. If their truck got rear ended by something big, he would sure as hell be hurting or dead. Someone pointing out that they still have more cones…
