Anyway, not sticking around - just wanted to pop in to acknowledge Shannon's acquittal and wish him well, and laugh at the people who two hours ago were purists about the presumption of innocence but now are complaining that the accuser isn't in jail. This place is nothing if not extremely predictable.
It's fucking ridiculous. We just watched the machine abuse what is likely an innocent person for months and risk him millions.
Now you want to turn that on an 18 year old because something bad happened to her, she probably identified the wrong guy, and the state pursued a case it shouldn't have?
They're both victims of the same damn thing. And who do you think the shithead state courts hurt more in the long run? Guys who look like TJS or her? So if you don't want this to happen to the next Terrence Shannon why the fuck would you not *fix the fucking broken machine*?
