The men were accused, prosecuted, and went to trial. They were acquitted. The Judge HERself acquitted them. The NHL then reinstated them and determined they were eligible to return to NHL play.
But if your position is that an acquitted person should still be publicly condemned and professionally punished forever simply because they were accused, then congratulations, you've just invented a justice system where a trial is apparently optional and an acquittal is meaningless.
And here's the part where you should probably think this through: if that's genuinely your standard, apply it to everyone. Every man. Every woman. Every person who has ever been accused of a crime and acquitted. Hold them all to the same standard. Tell every employer to permanently blacklist them. Tell every community to permanently shun them. Treat every acquittal as if it were a conviction.
What you believe is that these particular people deserve to be treated as guilty despite being acquitted.
That's not some brave moral position. It's selective outrage.
You’re a mindless sheep hopping on the latest bandwagon.
A justice system that only counts when you like the verdict isn't justice. It's just punishment by popular opinion.
And if you want to ignore the courts, ignore the acquittals, ignore the NHL's reinstatement, and declare these men guilty anyway, then at least be honest enough to admit that you aren't defending due process, you are rejecting it because you personally don't like the result.
Bye, Bye
@spedding_h53178 Love how they would pan to two random white women every time Serena would make a shot and the women were celebrating equality and tennis in unison. Race, inclusion, gender parity, everything at the forefront. Joint wins. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
