    This thread is for continuing the discussion of the recent Belfast rape trial. The old thread can be found here.

    Thanks,
    The AH mods.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    Why does it need another discussion?

    But sure the spit roast video sent the following day had nothing to do with the night before ......... unless it was a bit of fingering in the video.

    And Harrison was the one who sent it after getting the girl home......... and sent her a "chin up you wonderful women text"

    Can't fathom how that wasn't inlcuded in evidense.

    It's not another discussion, it's a continuation of the same discussion. Look at the mod post on the last page of the other thread for the hint.

    These threads need to be killed.

    Because its one of the busiest threads on boards.

    Can someone PM me the juicy whatsapps.

    I need a good laugh before I go to the dentist.

    Will I get into trouble though If I open them. I suppose its not my fault if a bold person sennds them but then omg, poor Jackson got into more trouble becasue Harrison sent him juicy stuff from the internet.

    The woman in the juicy stuff may be happy to be in the threesome because she is paid for it, she is probably gorgeous and the harpies think they should tell other women not to capitalise on their good looks, the harpies are just jealous because no one would invite them to join a threesome.

    The harpies shouldnt die wondering what a threesome would be like, if they go online they could probably find a website where male escorts would do a threesome if you pay them.

    Because it was prejudicial rather than probative, ie it doesnt prove anything in relation to the case but would serve only to stir the ****

    Evidence for a trial has to have purpose in relation to either proving or disproving guilt of the accusation. This piece of evidence didn't meet that criteria according to the Judge.

    I wouldn't worry about 'harpies'. No sane sponsor would want to be on the same side as the likes of you. Can you imagine sponsoring a club and then you discover you are lumped together with people with no class and their behaviour casts a shadow on your business.

    I wonder are the same ones that were going around at the beginning of the trial?

    People here talk about the 'frenzied mob' and what have you.

    Yet if anyone suggests that sponsors might pull out they get all defensive and almost offended themselves.

    Why is a spit roast video more shocking than the use of the term spit roast?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,483 ✭✭✭ArthurDayne


    Not to judge anyone, or to purport to dictate to people what they should and should not read (though I would tread very very carefully on material relating to a trial), but before asking to be PM'd these Whatsapps it's worth asking yourself -- why do you want to see them? Is there any public or private interest in being any further privy to the private lives of these people than we already are? The trial is over. Any relevant evidence has been assessed, weighed up and scrutinised in a court of law. There is no further value in reading anyone's Whatsapps.

    The thing that made this trial an affront to the principles of a fair trial was the sensationalist and even borderline voyeuristic nature of the media reporting and public discourse around the trial. I would merely humbly implore people to resist the temptation to be drawn any further into peeking under the veil between peoples' private and public lives -- make a principled stand against this obsession and instead focus on the substantive areas of debate.

    Looking at the first page of this thread shows who's frenzied and who's action sanely.

    I'm sure that's completely accurate. I'm sure she spent most of her time saying men are bad. Do you happen to have a transcript?

    I agree, I found the video, not for the squeamish to be sure

    Hilarious, the amount of times some posters are using the words 'mob', 'twitterati', 'feminazi', 'pound of flesh'. You'd be bored to death. This mob crack... i half expect to wake up and find a pack of wolves at the door..

    They can't get it into their heads that ordinary people, rugby supporters, sports people, non sports people, men and women who were never next to near twitter, or anything online, or marched, just might not want to see Jacko and Whacko play for Ireland. The 2/3rds or so who don't want the boys playing with Ireland are ordinary men and women, not the dyed pink hair brigade. But we hear the same oul sh*te, 'the mob must have its pound of flesh'. The pro Jackson/Olding Ireland playing group are a little mob themselves who go bananas if any argument against their heroes return to Irish rugby is made.

    My first look on here in 6 days and a small few posters have been saying the same stuff every hour of the day for those 6 days, and weeks before. I don't get how you'd put so much time into it, waste of time. I'm not putting myself on some high pedestal but why would you be bothered posting the same stuff about 500 times.. am i missing something.

    A world war could be going on and the talk in the Irish bunker would be the Belfast Rape Trial.

    Not half as bored to death as people are about the metoo movement and all that other rubbish thats prefixed with a hashtag.

    This thread in a nutshell..... ignore the ruling. Mob man hater mentality. Pitiful ignorance of the law and democracy!

    Seen as they weren't found guilty of anything, I can only assume you mean because of their foolish text messages? Do you judge yourself by the same standards?
