I mean you are with a crowd that thinks “grabs them by the pussy” is A okay.
Interesting choice, using the image of kurtwood Smith, a guy who just got called out for sending a letter of support on behalf of a convicted rapist.
While I get your point, it didn’t read as supportive to me. To me it read as a statement of “this is what I observed” not “this is my judgement of the kind of person he is.”
Like if someone asked me what kind of person a coworker was. If my answer was “I saw them do their job” it can be a factual statement of my experience and really, isn’t necessarily helpful. It just means I didn’t witness them doing anything bad.
Edit - rereading as someone just posted a copy of the letter. While I can see some focus on positive interactions with his daughter, it still strikes me as a factual “this is what I observed” and far less the emotional supportive standpoint that bled through from some of the other letters that were submitted.
Then insulting part in the Ashton letter was his defense of Danny as an anti drug warrior, after Danny was convicted of drugging and raping people. Also his saying that Danny poses no threat to society. I believe those were the main complaints about it by one of the victims

Not condoning rape here but given that the courts have done their job and the rapist is seeing justice, can we leave it at that?
The need to cancel by further and and further levels of abstraction is toxic to society. Justice (such as it is) is served. We should move on. If you feel a call to activism then seek out help and care for survivors. Seeking to further punish is going to rot you up inside.
He point of giving letters to the court of character is to try to reduce the sentence. If people are able to give statements with no cost, irrespective of truth or repurcuasions, then they become pointless as all would be glowing and positive. Anyone giving such a letter should be able to stand by it. If they can’t they shouldn’t give one.
I haven’t read his letter, but I assume it talks about his time with him filming when he was younger. It doesn’t seem relevant of it’s about his character, aside from rapes. So, what’s the point of providing it? If it is relevant, then we should question the relevance and motive and veracity of the whole purpose is to reduce the sentence of a convicted rapist.
People will all move on. However, moving on does not mean ignore and forget.
In rape cases there can be a bit of she said he said and such testimony can be important. However, it’s up to the jury to decide how much weight they attach to such a letter.
If one of my close friends was accused of rape and I never got any signals that she/he was capable of doing such a thing, I think I should be allowed to be heard. And if I was falsely accused I expect those that know my character to offer the same.
If I ever get the request from someone I have any doubt about they’re getting the polite middle finger. But if I’m 99% sure they wouldn’t do such a thing I guess I at least owe them to share my pov with the jury. Up to them to weigh everything.
In this case the actor who portrayed Mr. Red has shown he’s a bad judge of character but it shouldn’t stop us from using the character of the show to make cheff’s kiss memes (not this one though)
However, it’s up to the jury to decide how much weight they attach to such a letter.
It’s up to the judge. The letters were just used for sentencing, NOT for the verdict, which is the responsibility of the judge, not the jury.
Ok then I stand corrected.
In that case I might be sending a letter how they betrayed my trust & to not go too light on the sentence
These letters were after conviction, for sentencing.
Yes, there can be he said, she said. A jury convicts only if convinced beyond all reasonable doubt. They did so on multiple counts. One of the alleged victims, there was sufficient doubt. He was not convicted on that count. So it wasn’t just he said, she said.
I agree, red likely made an error of judgement. It’s not tantamount to rape, but he’s still advocating for a rapist with the intent of reducing the sentence.
You’re completely missing the point of these letters though. The jury had already found the accused guilty. These letters were for the judge, after conviction. In order to lighten the sentence of a convicted rapist.
What a horrible take.
Oh, no! Really? The guy who was caught on camera trying to fuck Borat’s daughter groped you!?
It’s always the ones you most suspect.
Wat.gif
It’s in the newest Borat movie. It’s real and it def happened
Holy shit?
I never thought they would grope MY pussy
Right!? “I’m on of the good ones.” and, “They’ll never turn on me.” Is that what they say to themselves?
Isn’t this what the whole tradwife thing is about
There was a reoccurring post on Reddit about women in right-wing movements complaining about their men’s behavior and attitudes towards women. I think it was proud boys Edit: found the article It’s older than I thought, lol
This reminds me of the people that take up with someone who is cheating on their spouse/GF/BF and then are later surprised to find out that they later cheat on them, too.
Why these stupid “alt-right” women don’t think the obviously inevitable misogyny won’t be turned on them is a true mystery.
Right!? Then there’s those that help kill the other’s spouse to get away or get money. YOU’RE NEXT!
When women are taught that sexual assault is not the fault of the men, there’s a false confidence if you don’t feel like you’re a “tease “ or “asking for it.”
Imagine how often she would have been groped if the coup was successful?
They all definitely would’ve couped a feel
The Trump White House sounds like a delightful workplace.
They’re rapists.
Murderers and vampires.
Hey it’s either rape or get raped
Mmmh which other place does this remind me off
“Come here, big tits. Come here, big tits. Your tits belong to me. Give them to me (indiscernible). I want to claim my tits. I want to claim my tits. I want to claim my tits. These are my tits,” Giuliani said in one March 12, 2019, exchange,
“These breasts belong to me. Nobody else can get near these, OK? I don’t care if they’re flirting or they give you business cards. These are mine, you got it?” he continued. “Understand? I’m very fucking possessive. I’ve gone easy on you.”
this Rudy Giulliani? I’m shocked
I’ve seen that second Borat movie. I know more than I want to about “America’s Mayor” and how he acts around young women. :/
I need a shower now, and I’m a guy…
What better moment to cop a feel than overthrowing your fucking government.
Until now I always believed the silver lining of jan6 was that these beta’s would at least not have time or thought for sexual harassment for a few hours
News like this is making it really hard not to turn into a cynic tbh
What better moment to cop a feel
thanWHILE overthrowing your fucking government.FTFY…
“A revolution without
dancingsexual assault is a revolution not worth having.”
What’s the saying? …
Lie with dogs, you gonna get humped.

Get in the circle of Trump
And your erh circle is gonna get eh humped
In the circle of Trump, the lying is implied
Didn’t he flail around and throw a fit when someone put their hand on his shoulder?
He accused someone of assaulting him in a supermarket. He claimed that he was hit so hard that he almost fell to the ground and that his shoulder still hurt. I can’t find the reference, but I believe he also claimed some sort of "shock wave’ after the assault that other people nearby felt.
Then the video was released and it was just a guy patting him gently on the back while passing him by. Definitely not assault. Okay, technically any contact could be considered battery, but this wasn’t the life threatening attack that Rudy made it out to be.
The guy was still arrested and tried for assault. He was acquitted and is now suing Rudy.

Rudy’s logic: everything is a lawless chaos now, may as well…
Truth isn’t truth!
Leopards. Faces.
Insurrection always gets him a little frisky.
This is my shocked face.
Eww.
Well, Republicans among themselves. What can I say?
