Yes. There is a due process that needs to be observed, and exposing people just because you don’t agree with the ruling is exactly the argument fascists and dictators bring to push their agenda and discredit the court of law.
You might also look further into this specific case, the article is very one-sided and meant to create outrage.
The alleged perpetrator tried to bring the woman home but her roommate didn’t open for over 30 min
They’ve been making out in the bar and been observed holding hands and kissing by a cctv along the way
Eventually they ended up in the guys house where they had sex, which she later said was nonconsensual, which is very much possible. However, witnesses say the guy was also drunk beyond being able to reasonably give consent.
He was given a suspended 3 year sentence, not a free pass.
I never said nor I implied that. The point made during the trial was that the people were observed to be intimate and drunk, so whatever happened next was at least not premeditated.
1 there is going to be a new trial bcs they appealed.
2 We have standards and keep away from mob justice, public shaming, the death penalty and indentured servitude slavery.
Your uncivilised, appauling country is no reference for civilised counties, on the contrary.
Seriously, the US has a lot of our own shit to get together, but lets not throw too many stones over the moral superiority of european countries either. Especially right now, in the face of the growing influence of far-right parties across the, ahem, “civilized” world. The US is a whole omnibus of cautionary tales right now, it might be worth hearing one or two of them out instead of going directly to “unbelievable cliche”.
Yalls have a guy convicted of rape facing zero consequences, and you think saying his name is a shit practice?

Point 2 sounds like you think kissing someone entitles you to rape them.
It doesn’t.

How about you actually read the article first?

Gee, I wonder how ya’ll got those vaunted standards. Weird. Could have been just about anything, couldn’t it.
