(57,751 posts)Some of the same people DO defend every single accused rapist. That is a fact. There has not once been a named rapist on this board that some of the same characters didn't turn up to defend. You don't tell me something hasn't happened just because you never paid attention to this issue until some overrated movie director got accused.
Your issue is to call people idiots who believe a victim over their a perpetrator. I got it loud and clear.
Your issue is a straw man. Completely unbelievable, as is evident by the insulting way in which you presented it and the sad effort to use the Salem Witch trials as made up evidence.
You want to believe Allen, that's your business. I believe a credible victim. Not without question but because I read her account. Chances are far more likely I am right that you are. But I guess your superior intelligence means that probability doesn't apply to you, whereas I'm must a simple person who has to rely on the evidence put before me. I know the man married the teenager sister of his children. I know the man likes barely legal girls he watched grow up. I do not think it a leap to then believe a clear account by a victim, particularly when said pervert can't be bothered to even deny the allegations himself, even to his friend and rape apologist who published in the Daily Beast. There are lots of facts that you are choosing to ignore, and then you insult those of us who do pay attention.
