Default Re: The Isiah Thomas civil trial

Let me understand this part. A guy you know who lives near the plaintiff says her testimony is truthful. Is this silliest assertion ever. How well does anyone know their neighbors? How well do you know your friends judgement? Many people who live next to a murderer say, "wow, he was such a nice guy, I can't believe he did it". We all have relationships with people that we would classify as "nice people" who are screaming psychopaths underneath their layer of civility.

What's your axe to grind against me?

I posted that thing about the friend to say, FOR WHATEVER VALUE THE READER WANTS TO GIVE IT, that I know someone who knows the woman and would vouch for her. That's it. If you choose to give that any value, great. If not, great. I don't really give a [censored].

I don't know the woman. I don't care about the woman. But I am tremendously bothered when people -- young men, who have not experienced and likely will never experience sexual harrassment -- belittle her claim and jump to the Garden's defense, without knowing anything about the case other than what they read in one Yahoo article summarizing the first day of her testimony.

This attitude that a woman who sues for being sexually harrassed, or who makes a claim that involves anything short of a rape, is automatically a money-grubbing whore is disgusting.
