    Daily reminder there are more men on death row for murders they didn’t commit than there are people in prison falsely convicted of sex crimes. Notice these fuckwads only care about the fallibility of the justice system when it comes to hurting women and remain silent when it comes to the death penalty.

    The thing about “mob justice” is that people only want mob justice when it is abundantly clear that the normal system won’t give them any kind of justice at all. The whole metoo movement from the beginning exists and has traction because a critical mass of society have recognized the fundamental truth that American authorities don’t actually care about prosecuting sexual assault. If they did, then the desire to do something, anything at all wouldn’t be as strong.

    Text messages, direct testimony, school investigation admitting guilt and an outright confession by writing literal essays; hmm I wonder why Americans (who typically ignore victims) may feel a certain way about this specific case

    No, let’s engage in legalist pedantry because a court hasn’t yet formalized their obvious guilt
