Feenix calling out modern snowflake society.
Everyone here has told an offensive joke or made an offensive comment in a public space. Would you have liked to be arrested and fined for doing so?
Many of you would have been to or watched comedians performing insanely insensitive jokes. Should he/she or God forbid they be dragged off stage?
There are far more genuinely offensive things to complain about than some bloke pretending to get a blowie from a blowie. And fining someone for not stopping it? That's just insane.
That's all from me
Imagine being the woman being cross examined, forced to relive the worst moment of your life by a guy trained to make your life miserable.Correct, an error that denied Hayne his legal right to cross examine and thus, plead his case.
I would hope every judge would uphold that right.
He conviction was overturned because an appeals court found there was a procedural error.Bloke was found innocent, you're raging about something our legal system found didn't happen.
Given the 148 pages discussing the goal review I can guarantee many more here were offended by that than Hayne rape caseThree players pretending to be goalposts is MILES away from someone dressing as a rapist and possibly acting out the scene. FFS, what is wrong with you people?
Oh you went there.Potentially, the joke was about an NRL player entrapped by a money grubbing woman...
You don't know any better than I do.
Well, the rape isn't great.Ok, what about if you came to said "troubled couples" theme party depicting Dodi and Di? Donald and Stormy? Dave Grohl and baby mumma? Which part offends you? The sex doll? The subject matter? The time frame?
I'm not getting into a semantic argument with you mate. The case could not be proven and was ultimately dropped. The end result is he is innocent as a result, because here in the free world, we are deemed innocent until proven guilty.Right but you said a court found it didn't happen which is not what the court did at all
Do we throw out the innocent until proven guilty?Again, he's not innocent.... he's just not guilty in the eyes of the law.
The fact is the appeal overturned his conviction on procedural grounds.Actually no.
Trial 1 jury couldn't reach a verdict
Trials 2 and 3 guilty overturned on appeal
Prosecution subsequently dropped charges.
Facts matter.
Happy with the twin towers then?Well, the rape isn't great.
It's probably the rape, yeah
There had been multiple opportunities to cross examine.Correct, an error that denied Hayne his legal right to cross examine and thus, plead his case.
I would hope every judge would uphold that right.
I didn't say he was innocent. I said that was the result of the court proceedings. I have no idea what happened and neither do youJust astonishing hypocrisy to, with one breath, accuse anyone who took issue with the GWS function – and, indeed, modern "woke society" (how original!) – as "lacking nuance" and then, with the next, to go on a "Jarryd Hayne was innocent" crusade. Wonder what the women who listen to the podcast would think.
Potentially, the joke was about an NRL player entrapped by a money grubbing woman...
You don't know any better than I do.
I'll ignore the snide implication.There had been multiple opportunities to cross examine.
They wanted the opportunity to cross examine based on one point, and the judge ruled it trivial and unnecessary.
I'm surprised by your commitment to die on this particular hill. Not sure whether the right to make rape jokes needs to be so vigorously supported
So does that mean because proper procedures were not followed, that the original guilty verdict was wrongly found...meaning that had proper procedures been followed it may have resulted in an original non guilty verdict?The fact is the appeal overturned his conviction on procedural grounds.
His guilt was overturned and the prosecution decided not to try the case for the fourth time.
Touch wood!!!Just glad The AFC is not the front-page AFL story so far this year.
I don't think it was the woman.Imagine being the woman being cross examined, forced to relive the worst moment of your life by a guy trained to make your life miserable.
You could get suspended for that.Touch wood!!!
Yep, surely my shitfights are better derailments than thisSurely this talk deserves its own thread
C'mon.Potentially, the joke was about an NRL player entrapped by a money grubbing woman...
You don't know any better than I do.
Not at channel 9 apparently.You could get suspended for that.
