It's baffling to me how this guy is now the "haha funny weed uncle" given his criminal record.
...what criminal record? Weed charges? Drug charges as a kid? That's concerning to you?
He was acquitted of murder. So - not guilty of murder. 30 years ago.
The sexual abuse case against him was dropped. Completely dropped by the accuser. We won't know what happened. Maybe something did - but you can't make baseless character accusations or assumptions. Case was dropped, that's the end of it.
I'm not a snoop boot licker or anything, but I don't really think he's a bad person, given his criminal record and all.
Case was dropped, that’s the end of it.
I don't agree with this attitude. I'm wary of branding him a rapist or sexual assaulter without any deeper research, but a dropped case is not the end of things, morally speaking, in just about any serious offense.

Yeah and Flava Flav supporting the women’s waterpolo team after his domestic abuse charges is also pretty wild.
Snoop beat that frame job
(But maybe not a SA case)
I remember a big commotion when I was a kid about Snoop Dogg and being accused of sexual assault. Did that go anywhere?
Nope. I tend to believe them though. His generation of rappers isn't exactly known for respecting women.
That's a pretty narrow-minded view but okay.
It's hard to judge on a case-by-case basis when women are dissuaded from pursuing abusers in court. We simply don't know, because we live in a rape culture, and it is a struggle to convict rapists.
We live in a rape culture?
Would you please expand?
Rape culture refers to the tendency of a society to downplay or dismiss rape, its seriousness, or accusations thereof. Think of the vile "boys being boys" or "he has such a bright future ahead of him, he just made one little mistake!" kind of justifications that still pop up from time to time in high-profile rape cases.
That is just fucked up and I can’t say I recognize it at all from my isolated little Nordic corner. Nobody defends rape.
Is it a US thing?
