(68,868 posts)He could have been set up. He could be a sex criminal.
you are not willing to consider the possibility that he is a sex criminal, and that the women are telling the truth.
because you have blind faith in Assange's nobility and virtue, you can't conceive that he would actually do something like this.
You've already prejudged him to be innocent and them to be liars, and there is nothing that could change your mind.
One of us has an open mind, the other is no different than the Steubenville parents who lashed out at the girl who reported her rape.
As I said, I hope you never serve on a rape jury, because all it would take would be for you to find the defendant sympathetic for you to reach a snap judgment that the alleged victim is a scheming liar.
Rape culture, it exists on the left.
