Sorry for the title, Reddit’s filters’ removed this post the 1st time I posted this.
Idk what happened but the whole system of “if a man is drunk and a woman is drunk it’s rape because she cannot consent” seems super fucked up
Unless there is irrefutable evidence either way this is probably heading towards a settlement
Huh.
Well, this is about to get messy. This looked SO bad when i read it initially the other day. That on top of the “super fan” in phoenix is disgusting as hell.
Reddit 2 days ago: OMG A FUCKING RAPIST!!
Reddit after this response: Oh, she was just drunk!? That’s it?
Let this be a wake up call for y’all. When somebody has a criminal record, it doesn’t mean they are a bad person. Can you imagine if this guy wasn’t rich and famous? He’d be labeled a rapist for life for redditors to say “THAT FUCKING RAPIST!” Also, you can become a registered sex offender by peeing in public on a drunken night out. There are so many technicalities and crimes that sound worse than there are.
You can get a DUI if you say “you know what? I’m not gonna drive home. I’m going to sleep in my car until I’m not drunk.” If your keys are within proximity to you, a cop can give you a DUI, even if your vehicle is OFF.
Sick of people on Reddit hearing or seeing somebody with a criminal record and assuming they are a piece of shit, they likely aren’t.
Anyone else notice that every media outlet sharing this story posts pics of him in Blazers uniforms 😤
I’m going to be honest. He isn’t a blazer anymore. He isn’t in the NBA anymore. I hope justice is served one way or the other but I frankly don’t care to hear the details. If he’s guilty I hope he pays, beyond that I really don’t plan on following this story.
