SeaJ , in Child rapist Steven van de Velde weeps in first interview since Olympics outrage

Bully you? Motherfucker, you raped a 12 year old multiple times and kept going when she said you were hurting her.

greywolf0x1 ,

This, I support criminal rehabilitation but only if you’ve served your time correctly, never expected this to be condoned in Europe amongst other places, I think he deserves to at least serve his full conviction time

SeaJ ,

I’d be a little more understanding if he seemed remorseful at all. He does not.

xmunk , (edited ) in Why journalists shouldn’t be neutral on climate change | Calls to keep politics out of science reporting ignore a core responsibility: minimize harm

Journalists should be neutral and report the facts - in this case the facts are that climate change is happening due to human actions and everyone saying it isn’t is fucking lying.

The title of this article is like the police officer asking “So did you stop beating your wife in November?”

SeaJ OP , in US approves $20 billion in weapons sales to Israel amid threat of wider Middle East war

Wonderful. /s

xmunk , in Child rapist Steven van de Velde weeps in first interview since Olympics outrage

I’m sorry… you feel like you’re the wronged party here?

Is this dude a fucking sociopath?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Probably, considering he groomed a child in another country over the internet before he traveled there and raped her repeatedly.

ChairmanMeow ,
@ChairmanMeow@programming.dev avatar

He was proclaimed innocent of grooming. Because he did not groom her. Do people not know basic details of a case before they start spouting nonsense on the internet?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Excuse me? What do you think happened, she seduced him?

She was twelve years old.

ChairmanMeow ,
@ChairmanMeow@programming.dev avatar

According to the case notes, the attraction was mutual. He did not have to coerce her, by her own statements.

It’s why he wasn’t convicted of grooming.

Seriously, do at least a modicum of research.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Dude. She was 12. Have you eve spent time around 12-year-old girls? This is some sick, “she led me on” shit.

Also, who wrote these case notes and please show them to me. You also claimed he apologized and I’ve seen no sign of that either.

Dkarma ,

Trump wasnt convicted of rape …but he did it.

inb4_FoundTheVegan ,
@inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world avatar

I’m amazed that you are trying to take the high ground here.

According to the case notes, the attraction was mutual

It’s irrelevant if the child is willing, they are not old enough to make those choices. She was 12 and had no capacity to agree to sex with a 19 year old. Especially one that gave her alcohol.

Like, stop talking about research start using a modicum of common sense.

JovialMicrobial ,

He’s pulling out a smaller version of the DARVO tactic. Sexual predators do that quite a bit when they get caught.

Deny, attack, reverse victim and offender.

“The audience was wrong to boo me! They’re the bullies!” Meanwhile he completely ignores why he got booed.

FlyingSquid , in Child rapist Steven van de Velde weeps in first interview since Olympics outrage
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

And he still hasn’t apologized for what he did.

SeaJ , (edited )

He also doesn’t consider himself a pedophile despite grooming and raping a child multiple times.

ChairmanMeow ,
@ChairmanMeow@programming.dev avatar

He was proclaimed innocent of grooming, because he didn’t groom her. Please familiarise yourself with basic facts of the case before spouting nonsense.

ChairmanMeow ,
@ChairmanMeow@programming.dev avatar

He’s apologized repeatedly in the past, calling it his greatest mistske. What are you on about?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Please do show evidence of this.

ChairmanMeow ,
@ChairmanMeow@programming.dev avatar

He literally said it during the interview this article is about.

And I quote:

I did something wrong 10 years ago. I have to take that. But hurting the people around me, whether it be Matthew (his teammate) or my wife or my child… that goes too far for me.

And from a previous interview in 2018 (in Dutch): nos.nl/l/2240281

I did what I did. I can’t reverse it, so I’ll have to live with the consequences. You may judge me, of course. It is the biggest mistake of my life.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Neither of those are apologies. I am really concerned about what you think apologies are and what you think is acceptable for an adult to do to a child.

njm1314 ,

Good Lord neither of those are apologies come the fuck on.

Dkarma ,

Where is the apology. Admitting wrongdoing is not an apology, bud.

shadowedcross , in Child rapist Steven van de Velde weeps in first interview since Olympics outrage

Well maybe you shouldn’t have raped a child, dipshit.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Multiple times. And only got a year in prison for it.

some_guy ,

Multiple was unknown to me. Even worse. And this article was the first time I saw that he travelled to another country to do so. Wow. I wonder how this has affected the victim.

ChairmanMeow ,
@ChairmanMeow@programming.dev avatar

The victim gave consent (as far as a 12-year old can do that of course). She in fact started self-harming because he got convicted and still does not regret or feel bad about the encounters to this day, other than the negative effects it had on Steven.

njm1314 ,

Which is zero. A 12-year-old can give zero consent. Yes, when a child is groomed and brainwashed by her rapist they tend to do things like react badly when the rapist is caught. That’s why it’s so important for them to have the care they need. It’s not important to have weirdos online defend their rapists.

Chip_Rat , in Mom fights back in grizzly bear attack: ‘I’m not ready to leave my daughter’

Where did this happen, and what kind of bears?? Is it just me or is this article lacking…

Where is Yukon Canada? And is Ontario Canada inside it? Or was she visiting from our of town? This Grizzly attack was black bears?

Chip_Rat ,

ctvnews.ca/…/yukon-woman-narrowly-escapes-bear-at…

This article explains what happened and where and what kind of bears…

Zannsolo , in Mom fights back in grizzly bear attack: ‘I’m not ready to leave my daughter’

Sounds like the dog scared and probably chased the smaller threats off and left her to get mauled by the big guy. I’m kinda surprised it didn’t stay closer to the lady and scuffle with the big boy.

ImADifferentBird , in Donald Trump says he will flee to Venezuela if he loses election [Newsweek]
@ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I’d ask him to promise, but I know what his promises are worth.

InternetUser2012 ,

Yeah, there’s no way. However, if he said if he wins he knows Kamala is going to flee the country, I would 100% bet everything I own he’s taking off. Projection is real.

capt_wolf , in Starbucks’ CEO is out. Chipotle’s Brian Niccol is taking over
@capt_wolf@lemmy.world avatar

Starbucks is sugary, trash water. Brew your own coffee at home. Costs way less, tastes much better, and it’s significantly healthier compared to the flavored milk they sell.

PlantJam ,

And if you make cold brew in advance, it’s saves a lot of time in the morning. It’s even good heated up in the microwave, but I drink it iced year round.

jwt ,

But if I brew my own coffee at home, how will people know I’m writing a screenplay?

capt_wolf , (edited )
@capt_wolf@lemmy.world avatar

In my experience, anyone I’ve ever known who is earnestly writing a book or a screenplay doesn’t shut up about it, regardless of whether they go to Starbucks or not.

quicklime ,

Meanwhile, what they serve at Chipotle is not worth even half of what they charge for it.

CmdrShepard42 ,

Yeah both these companies have been run into the ground in my opinion. They’re just coasting on inertia at this point.

corsicanguppy ,

Costs way less, tastes much better, and it’s significantly healthier compared to the flavored milk they sell.

I don’t have the machine at home. Or that other machine. Nor can I make a fern leaf with the milk. And where’m I gonna get a lip piercing at this time of night? Be reasonable, man.
