The poet James Baldwin once wrote: "Well, if one really wishes to know how justice is administered in a country, one does not question the policemen, the lawyers, the judges, or the protected members of the middle class. One goes to the unprotected — those, precisely, who need the law's protection most! — and listens to their testimony. Ask any Mexican, any Puerto Rican, any black man, any poor person — ask the wretched how they fare in the halls of justice, and then you will know, not whether or not the country is just, but whether or not it has any love for justice, or any concept of it. It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.". --James Baldwin

Snotty little teenage male brats across the USA will learn from this and not attempt to rape. Their mums will teach it so. Ford has done the country a great service. Just as Anita Hill did a great service in her time.

Middle aged women now know they can ruin a man’s reputation by lying through their teeth.

Really?? Women have voted in Federal elections for almost 100 now, men have been voting for much longer than that. Are you suggesting women caused politics to be as corrupt as it is today or did she just mimic what evil men have been doing for centuries?


You can always get your own wi-fi body cam and the whole family can have their own channel


Edit to add:
Walnut, are you saying victims should not record their attack so there is no trial, just a guilty verdict. It is not illegal to record yourself.

WTF is wrong with you? lol

They were able to take down many politicians in the US and Canada in the court of public opinion the last couple of years, the latest coup backfired so bad that it actually may take this tool out of the toolbox.

News Anchor Resigns After Defending Brett Kavanaugh On Facebook

After writing a Facebook post defending Brett Kavanaugh, who was accused of sexual assault by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, news anchor Kris Long was suspended before resigning from his position at CBS affiliate KESQ-TV in Palm Springs.
The veteran journalist took to Facebook to write a 400-word post defending Kavanaugh on September 17, well before he was confirmed to the Supreme Court. The post has since been deleted.
He started off by supporting the #MeToo movement. “I have absolutely no sympathy for the increasingly long list of well-known names who have fallen from grace because they thought with their little head and not their big one.”
Then, his thoughts start to take a turn.
“You are beyond dreaming if you think 17-year-old boys are not going to misbehave from time to time as they begin to attempt relationships with the opposite sex,” he wrote. “That is just the way animals are made!”
He also wrote “few things are more serious as rape and that Ford’s accusation “stinks of political maneuvering.”
Long added that if he were nominated Supreme Court, “they might have to enlarge the Senate hearing room to accommodate all the young women from the mid to late 1960’s who felt that I had tried to go a bit too far!”
Naturally, his comments and choice of words drew a lot of backlash from commenters and journalist before he deleted the post.
Long resigned the day before Kavanaugh was confirmed and the station accepted his resignation which was “effective immediately.”
He replaced the deleted post with an apology, saying, “The previous post to this page has been deleted. This is a sensitive and controversial subject and I apologize for any offense that this has caused.” He released another statement on Friday when he resigned: “I want to thank those who have offered support and apologize again for any I may have offended. I hope to return to the news business in the future.”
He added, “I wish I hadn’t written (the post) because it’s caused me a lot of headache. This is a sensitive and controversial subject and I apologize for any offense that this has caused.”

Shouldn't CBS offer his job back in light of the results of the nomination?

Brown is running for mayor of Brampton. Hopefully, he’ll get a pot load of money from CTV when they settle his slander suit against them.
