    “You’ve been convicted of a number of offenses including rape,” judge Joel Bennathan said. “The consequence of that is inevitably a significant custodial term. My current view is that I therefore have to remand you into custody.”

        Well he is a self described sex addict, that had gone to rehab centers for drug and sex addiction. He also is charming with the ladies, and so probably always expects a victim.

      And Ukraine is reaming Russia’s ass. Also, students all over Europe are teaming up and demanding an end to the right wing bullshit. Brazil diselected the Bolsonary crime family, Hungary kicked out the decades long fascist humpty dumpty, Serbia took back control from their own brand fascists, and it’s been sunny outside these past few days.

      Thank god.

            correct, it’s not enough, because we don’t have a justice system that’s incapable of executing innocent people. if you allow the justice system to kill people, it will kill innocent people.

      Watching him “speak in tongues” was so painful.

      If anything, he’ll double down on it and add racism.

      “Aryan Nation” type gangs are numerous and powerful in prisons and it’s not like he’s never allied with people just like them before.

          Yeah, pretty much in every majority white country and a few others too.

          Just because it’s not the US doesn’t mean it doesn’t have white supremacist idiots who use Christianity as a pretext for their racism or that those people aren’t amongst the most criminal in general and violent in particular 🤷🏻

            It’s not the racism of the country that’s at issue, it’s how the prisons are run. US prisons are a hellscape designed to cost as little as possible, where the prisoners have the freedom to do drugs, form gangs, etc. because there aren’t enough jailers to stop that, and the few jailers they have are easily corrupted. Virtually every rich country in the world has more control over its prisoners than that.

              Good point, except for one thing: it’s not that there’s fewer jailors or that they’re easily corrupted so much as them having the corruption trained in them beforehand.

              The for profit companies and demagogue politicians making the rules actively encourage segregation by race, ethnicity, faith, etc, falsely believing that it’ll make inmates easier to control rather than more likely to engage in violent tribalist behavior.

      You’re telling me there wasn’t a lengthy and well-publicized trial where Brand was acquitted, but then new allegations emerged? And, like, social media posts where the women got called liars? None of that happened? Huh. I even feel like I read a think-piece about how we could still appreciate Forgetting Sarah Marshall despite his crimes.
