sometimes (OJ) only society can punish him.
There are a lot more Weinsteins than there are Ghomeshi's out there.
This is the same as being OK with some innocent people being judged guilty in the process of the law. Conservatives are all about being willing to sacrifice a few innocent ones in order to get the guilty.
But suddenly when it is something that largely involves the entitled and their entitlements and they are from the entitled sector of the society - now they get miffed.

That's what Conservatives are all about, are they?
That's awefully judgemental of you to judge all Conservatives everywhere as "the same".
Ever lead a lunch mob, yourself?

I have to say I haven't got a clue what you are talking about. Do you care to fill me in? Is this some sort of american thing that canadians don't know about?
Ah...the lack of the Irish!
The land of the Lapricons and pats of trasure...and far leaf clovars
Nope, it sounds like the last part of a useless pain in the ass, as in hemorrhoid. A rather fitting name I might add.
Unsurprising. People who cannot say "due process" without wiping their chins afterward rarely do. I'll try to express it in words of one syllable.
You have no right to your job in the U.S.
You have a right to due process when your rights are at risk.
No rights are at risk when you face loss of your job.
Thus, there is no need for due process.
There. Only one word of more than one syllable, used twice. Maybe you can follow that.
I have hurt some feelings?
I was only wondering how getting away with sexual abuse for decades is "due process"
Well, it DOES have an Irish lilt about it, as in:
"When oye catches up ta you, ya little bastard, O'ym gonna tan your hoid!"
Seeing how you've passed judgement, there's no need for the accused to have a chance to defend themself.
.. At least we won't waste any time there
Dude, you are in a thread about the media convicting people before they are convicted, and you want to make it about the right to a job.
Clearly, you think there is a connection but you haven't explained it to anyone else.
Try really hard to follow. "Conviction" only applies in a criminal court. None of the "accused" has faced a criminal court. They only lost their jobs.
Don't agree? Feel free to point out one. . . single. . . accused. . . who faces criminal prosecution.
Or just continue slobbering and whining.
That is the whole point. Not one of them has been convicted of anything in court but they have lost their jobs based on conviction by media.Most places that would be wrongful dismissal and subject to severance pay at the very least. Depending on third status could also lead to a Human Rights Kangaroo court ruling as well.
View it as loosing your licence to practice law because someone you never heard of told the bar association that you are a kid diddler.
