Thread for continued speculation on l'affaire KEYSY etc, rolling reactionary stupidity/misogyny/prejudice in football

aye, it's really depressing when you're happy that the forum you're looking at is split roughly 50/50 and this feels like the best you can hope for

glad he's not as well known across ILX as Michael Gira

the thing that really got me about the whole affair was that the other guy mcdonald was never charged with anything, despite being arguably responsible for what happened

the whole case is a total shit show, the dog whistle testimony about her sexual history - admitted in part because allegedly she used the same phrase in another sexual encounter that ched and co. say she used - probably the most wtf and worrying thing - there than the verdict and the gleeful reaction

oh yeah and the reward offered for testimony by ched evans' father in law.

yeah seriously, the testimony of someone who had sex with her a few weeks later = what the fuck is our legal system

but lj surely if she were raped she would never have sex again?

and surely she'd be able to give the same level of consent on one drunken night with one man as on another drunken night when one man decided to introduce another man to proceedings halfway through

This was such an important case and this verdict is just bullshit in every way.

Charlton's forum is like 80% on the right side of this, tbf. Wonder if, say, Leeds' is

I can't even click on mine, probs about 60% of them in the string up all crims (apart from rapists) brigade.

It doesn't surprise me that grim neanderthal Chris Turner is "delighted" with this result. Well done to the court for emboldening a rapist and setting a fucked up precedent of victim harassment that will embolden many other rapists for years to come.

Sometimes it seems wherever you look in this country at the moment there is no light, just creeping malevolence everywhere. It's too fucking depressing.
