    This was the first 'big case' I remember where 'guilty until proven 'not proven' was carried out. No due process, their names released, the school slamming them.

    More of the war on men/boys.

    We have a lot of guilty before trials anymore, and that sucks. The regular media, and then social media - we have folks being convicted by society much too fast anymore. And then sometimes you see riots, for example, before a trial even has a chance to begin. Facts don't matter to many anymore, nor do juries. Too often we see "vigilantes", as in entire areas being the judges instead of waiting for the actual facts and letting our justice system take its course.

Need I say more?” - Chris Rock
