    Surprisingly, that man is an established rapist and has neither apologized for nor retracted the ad…

    Coming from a convicted rapist “fair shake” is very likely being given essays, a slap on the wrist, and no chance of formal convictions.

      I’m still shocked they made them write essays, no punishment at all would actually be less insulting.

      How does one even begin with a “I’m sorry I did one of the worst crimes imaginable.” essay with a straight face? I almost wanna read the essays because I’m sure they’ll make me sick and I fucking hate myself.

        I don’t undestand how they could even attempt to write something that shows any true contrition. Leaving aside the question of whether any of them actually believe that they did anything wrong and feel regret, wouldn’t writing any truly meaningful esaay leave them open to procecution? (Although, I guess that would only br a risk if we lived in a world where the police and procecutors give a shit).

    I don’t watch the news anymore because it feels manufactured. Who’s defending the rapists?
