There is going to be a new trial, everybody chill out.
fuck if i understand belgian law, but it seems appropriate to say what the fuck is this
I don't think it matters where this happened. IMO, "what the fuck is this" is the appropriate reaction to giving no consequences for rape. This would also apply to a litany of other offenses, but in this case rape.
I also think rape is one of the worst things anyone could do to another, right up there with slavery, torture, and other, similar things. I would consider murder to be less offensive, since at least then the person doesn't have to work through the trauma after. It's a mercy. Still unacceptable in a civilized society, but anything you have to live the rest of your life dealing with, is worse IMO.
A fate worse than death. In this case, getting SA'd, and having your attacker convicted and let go because of bullshit like this. Idk about you all, but that would fuck me right up.
In Belgium a couple of years ago a brown student died during a hazing at a fraternity. Every one involved , all white and sons of doctors, lawyers and judges, basically came away scott free. They were all sentenced to community service and weren’t found guilty for criminal negligence.

Belgium has a elitism problem. Bet if this rapist was a brown medical student or a street sweeper or something he would’ve gotten jail time.
Obligatory reminder that Belgium has a unresolved problem with a pedophile ring raping and murdering children with impunity, enjoying protection and likely having direct involvement of the highest ranks of politics, police and judiciary.
I think you have enough pedos in your own country to worry about a thing from 30 years ago
k. what you yelling about then?
Not yelling, that's he imagination in your weard head.
Jusqt saying a Germ definitely shouldn't be obsessed with something totally unrelated to this case.
Especially knowing how horrible you all are.
Deflection. Probably feels threatened by you mentioning it.
thereby, you've doomed us all, because you even thought of that
