Russell Brand convicted of 7000 rapes (approximately)

[Snarky Oracle!]

Megyn Kelley is a bit strident for my taste, and my politics is often different (she's been a registered Democrat, Republican, and Independent) but this is kind of funny...

The main "victim" indeed changed her story over time, from a sleazy threesome in which she was fully complicit and later admitted she "was young and stupid" and that the incident was as much her fault as anybody else's, to a different memory where she was abused against her will.

Didn't she actually say that she had a consensual threesome with Brand and that the second encounter started out as consensual until he abused her?

As for Megan Kelly, she doesn't appear to know more than anyone else - as usual.

The fact remains that Brand himself lied to the police, admitted it on the stand, and asked for the court's forgiveness. Sure that went a long way towards damaging his credibility with jury.

I really have not detected any gloating over Russell Brand's conviction

And that means it's not happening?

I think the reaction is more one of shame and embarrassment of previously finding this guy entertaining

Even in this thread with not too many participants there are three negative comments about his personality.
You can imagine what the rest of the internet looks like.

Shame and embarrassment? So now even the spectators are victims? Maybe they should sue him.

Even saying people are judging him for being a weirdo is doing that, when people are actually judging him for being a rapist and sex abuser who just happens to be weird

Well that certainly takes the nuance out of my previous post, which was more about the retroactive prophecy in the "disliked person" becoming "rapist".
Comments like, "he's always looked kinda rape-y to me".
I don't even know what a rape-y person looks like.

My comments are not about his guilt because obviously that's been decided by the court.
All I'm saying is that there's a lot of hypocrisy going on.
Let's not forget that it's not a crime to be weird or to look rape-y or to upload peculiar youtube videos (videos that we're not forced to watch).

She's going aaaall the way! (saying much more than she should).

But is it true that the heaviest part of the verdict is based on that incident as described in the video?

There has been a certain amount of revisionism by people who are now saying they never liked him or thought there was something off about him. Some people like to be wise after the fact but that shouldn't distract from the fact that Brand is a vile rapist who is finally facing justice for his horrific crimes. That is what we should focus on, along with his victims, not on whether or not he is weird.

Tell us more...!

Just read the court transcripts, they show the overwhelming evidence against Brand, it made jury's decision inevitable.
