ILTC, I normally agree with you. Bit I think you're being more than a little hypocritical on this issue.
In fact, the only thing many of us have said definitively on the case is that we just don't know what happened (well, that and the fact that there are a large number of cat fans claiming they have no interest in the case, yet they post 50 times a day, openly rooting for a conviction).
no worries at all EG. but i don't think i am being hypocritical at all. I have not said one way or another what i think about this case. and i don't have a problem with people chiming in on a message board. dizzle was right on the money with that.
what i DO find entertaining is those posters that feel like they KNOW what happened on this night. they read twitter for a couple hours and come away saying there is "no way" that this woman was raped. i not one time said this is the majority of the board doing this. what i said was despite the terrible subject matter...this board will be absolute gold this next week because of posters like these, and as you pointed out cat fans coming here to stir the pot.
if we are really being honest i can tell you exactly how i think this will play out. in regards to this board...the verdict the jury comes to makes no difference. if jj is found innocent there will still be those convinced he got away with rape. and idiot cat fans five years down the road will still be calling um rape u and bashing jj just like they bash jimmy wilson today.
if he is found guilty there will still be those that think this innocent guy had his life ruined by a crazy scorned chick. her life will still be ruined because even if she really was raped, some will refuse to believe it. and idiot cat fans five years down the road will still be bringing up the former griz qb sent to prison for rape.
here's all i'm looking for in this shitty trial. if jj raped this girl i want him in prison. if he didn't, i don't want him falsely convicted and his life ruined because of some lying woman. by the same tolken, if this woman was raped, it shouldn't matter who she dated, how many guys she slept with, what her dreams were, or anything else. if she said no and he still went ahead i want justice to be served. but if she made all this up then i hope she gets hers. if someone is so dishonest they can make up something as serious as this knowing it can ruin lives....that is as bad as rape in itself.
but i'll patiently wait for the jury to decide these matters rather than listening to people on message boards saying they KNOW jj didn't rape this woman or they KNOW for certain this woman was raped. i really don't see how my stance on this is hypocritical but i respect your opinion and am not offended in the least. :thumb:
