I thought this guy was already in prison...

[–] [email protected] 88 points 1 year ago

I think I remember reading he was basically released awaiting trial. I had honestly given up on seeing any justice in this case, so this is a positive development.

The UK now? Splendid. It was otherwise not a great day for me but things are looking up.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago

Hopefully this is just a harbinger for the rest of the day.

"First officer's log, supplemental. It was only 9 am and I already had to get out my trombone. Also, those twins in Stellar Cartography promised to stop by my quarters later. Things are looking up for Commander Riker! And also little Ensign Riker, if you know what I mean, computer."

Riker would 100% have already promoted his dick to at least lieutenant

Ahhhhh it's been a while since I saw one of these :)

First the IL-76 plane crashes in Russia, then the Russian liberation force destroys a couple of BMPs inside of Russia and occupy a town and now this? What a wonderful day, thank you Universe.

Elon must be big mad today.

I’m curious about the specific charges facing these assholes. What is the legal definition of “sexual aggression?” I don’t see aggression defined in the UK’s sexual assault laws. Is that a Romanian thing?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My guess is a mistranslation of "sexual assault" going from English to Romanian and back.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That would make sense. That’s not a word that shows up in UK law from what I can tell, but the press are all over it. When you search for the term, you get a billion Andre Tate stories, and no much else.

Seems like a bad translation, then lazy journalism maybe?

Not news.... Please, stop making stupid people famous. Or at least, stop writing about them...

[–] [email protected] 87 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're stupid, but also dangerously influential. They're important people to keep an eye on. This is news.

[–] [email protected] 56 points 1 year ago

Definitely news. This also sends a message to other people trying to mimic them.

Plus it's not only news. It's good news.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago

The fact that they're getting arrested is great news imo

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

I had never heard of this dude before he was arrested. But do you know who had? My thirteen year old daughter. I'm cool with the current turn of events.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

While I agree and also complain about this, I draw the exception at reporting when justice is being served. Good god, what a way to start the day!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I won't write about you

Good for him. Prisons are filled with Alpha Males, not betas or stupid women.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

If you look at the study that proposed Alpha males in wolf population, it only occurred when studying wolves in captivity. They do not occur in nature.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-the-alpha-wolf-idea-a-myth/

So the only way to become Alpha male is to get incarcerated.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Glad they have been arrested.

Sexual aggression is illegal in the UK? That sounds pretty boring, ngl.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago

Okay rapist.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

Sexual aggression =/= aggressive sex.
