Yeah, doesn’t seem to be for the really bad things he (almost certainly) did though
Exactly.
That does seem worthy of at least mentioning in the BB post.
Me, reading the headline: “Well, yeah, he’s been a serial abuser.”
Me, reading the article: “Wait, for that?”
Is this like taking down Capone on tax evasion? Taking down Marilyn Manson on expectoration?
Perhaps for cupping the microphone?
I bet this isn’t what the 90s hand-wringers expected to bring down Marilyn Mason
I’m actually a little surprised that this picture was not used for this article instead of the one with Manson holding a knife.
That way I would have no doubt about how I’m supposed feel about the subject of the story.
Depends on how many people are willing to not just say ‘hey this guy’s an abuser’ but are willing to be a witness, go through trial, dredge up awful memories, etc. There’s a reason abusers get away with it for so long.
Shouldn’t he be arrested for sexual assault or something?
You see, there was spit and it happened to colocate with a part of another person.
If your spit comes into contact with someone’s arm at a rock show, no one is issuing an arrest warrant. You’ve got to spit on someone for that.
But this was a Micro Spit Colocation so the spitter’s intent is not really a considerable factor in the veracity of the assault.
