Not that I have any opinion one way or the other on what actually happens, but given the #Sonysupportrape stuff I've been seeing all day, it makes a nice change to see someone understand the concept of innocent until proven guilty. It's incredible how he's getting lynched by people at the moment. If he did it he did it and deserves to go away for it but an accusation doesn't make a criminal. But such is the world these days I guess where Twitter allows everyone to broadcast their thoughts all day. |
Yeah, I made a very conscious decision to word it that way. As I've said, a pet peeve of mine is the lynch mob mentality that sees people dismiss due process in favour of a trial-by-social-media frenzy.
It's a highly emotive topic, I get that, but the system we have, however imperfect, exists for a reason. History shows us just how dangerous mob rule can be.
