Seriously though, the prison industrial complex is totally fucked and should not exist as a for-profit entity at all.
We need prisons to some extent, but we don’t need a prison industrial complex for any reason other than to abuse the slavery loophole in the 13th amendment.
Antonida Smolina, was visited by police after someone complained about photographs she had posted online showing her posing in a yellow coat against a blue sky
If you’re only going to consider starting wars, you’ll have to add a few more presidents to that list, namely: Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Clinton, Obama and Biden.
North Korea started lobbing missiles again, Putin built up his invasion force for Ukraine, his dismissal of Palestinian concerns and emboldening of Israel led to Hamas attacking Israel again, Afghanistan was overrun by the Taliban because he decided to pull US troops out.
The world wasn’t very peaceful under Trump. Rather it geared up for war.
Time to secretly get some recordings of what they are really saying at their dinner party circles à la the recent recordings of Supreme Court justices discussing flags in their neighborhoods.
How many monsters have been put away where after they are convicted, we hear about the years and years of countless reports? Creating a “record” punishes the victim more than the criminal, and victims can be blacklisted if they are “difficult to work with.”
I’m with you that it’s better to report it, but we shouldn’t be blaming victims when they would rather not. We should be creating an environment with minimal barriers to reporting in order to protect victims from shame and retaliation.
Only time it really worked when it was #metoo season and dozens of celebrities came out with accusations to point where there was sufficient evidence to convict some of these pests.
I guess time will tell but I bet we won't hear about it again
I am not directly familiar with the UK system but from everything I have seen, it has the same problems:
The defense against rape accusations is “she was a slut”. And when things are this institutionalized? You can get plenty of people who will gladly attest that the plaintiff came onto them too because they know that if the dominoes start toppling…
And in the off chance she gets justice AND comes out with any dignity? She is not officially on the industry shitlist because that would be wrong… But her career is more or less over. Because the rapists don’t want to hire her for obvious reasons. But even the “normal” people will be wary of “What if she decides something we do is bad?”.
No. The key to shit like this is to get the public shining a light on this first. Rather than going into a dark room and randomly spraying a bit of bug spray.
This is the kind of shit that happens when citizens don’t have the right to self defense. In the USA a woman could kill a man in self defense if they started a rape attempt. Without legal access to some kind of weapons for self defense a woman will almost always be at a significant disadvantage in a physical confrontation with a man. I support every woman’s inherent right to self-defense against rapists, and governments should too.
So you’re saying that the appropriate response to office sexual harassment is to start shooting lecherous coworkers? I’m not saying it’s a bad idea, but I don’t think you’ve thought this through.
Absolutely. Spot on. Rape doesn’t exist in America and no Americans organizations could ever have a culture of abuse as described in this story.
Out of curiosity , what did you wear to Bill Cosby’s funeral? The same outfit you wore to Harvey Weinstein’s funeral?
I actually heard that people really believe that Hollywood is a haven for sexual predators and sexual abuse, including rape, is rampant throughout the American entertainment industry. Can you believe that?
Don’t they know the 2nd Amendment has eliminated both individual cases of rape and systemic sexual abuse?
Anywho, do you have any plans on watching USA Gymnastics this year?
