In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) review both the Everton and Bodø/Glimt victories at Old Trafford. Listen to the guys discuss 2 wins and 7 goals in the last week, analyse of the Amorim formation, focus on Amad and how he is playing, and also take a look at Hojlund, Rashford & Zirkzee – who starts v Arsenal?
It's quite an achievement to grab something with your neck.
What the hell are you talking about??
My point was that if someone grabs your phone (with their hands I'm assuming) and your go to is to strangle them amongst other things, it seems rather disproportionate. Struggling with them to retrieve your phone, fair, but strangling?
People get shot over there for less.
Fair, strangling someone for it is a disproportionate response.
Yes this really is a major problem in society.
What does 'MCU' stand for?
What did his texts say?

Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Manchester City: United
Interesting area to focus on.
Well in that context, strangling is okay then.

His defence fecked up. They were inadmissible and the defence took advantage by repeatedly asking the accuser why there wasn’t proof or proof it happened before etc. the judge changed the ruling since that line of questioning / badgering made the texts relevant and it sunk him
That's the real crime here.
Maybe you see it all the time, but I definitely don't see it all the time. In fact, I barely ever see it. On the Johnny Depp, depends on which trial was guilty or not. Don't get me wrong, for what I read, I would sit more on Depp camp. But anyway, is just one case on many more.
No matter what your perception tells you. Numbers dont lie and what you are proposing is the same as for any voters: " the silent majority". It doesn't exist. Studies shows that there is a lot more unreported abuse on the woman site.
And yes, the adopt "never hit a woman approach" is basically because generally speaking, due to biology a man can cause women harm that a woman can't. Again, generally speaking. I must say, though, that if a woman hits a man without a reason because they expect that they will not hit them back, I am all for the man to hit her back, though it would probably better to call the police.
He apparently wasn't found guilty of anything that required it to be an intentional act, might be a compromised verdict by the jury though.

Some of you might already read in the Emmanuel Macron thread that he is siding with Gérard Depardieu in the midst of the allegations of sexual misconduct against the actor. I personally find that position repugnant, especially in the wake of those allegations and of that documentary/report titled La Chute de l'Ogre, where we see Depardieu during a 2018 trip in North Korea. If you watch that video, you will see Depardieu making several misogynistic and insulting comments in front of women, and he goes as far as to make an obscene comment about a young girl riding a horse.
I also need to remind people that one of Depardieu's accusers, Emmanuelle Debever, died by suicide on December 7 (just 2 weeks ago).

Vin Diesel accused in a new lawsuit of a 2010 Sexual battery complaint. The details are pretty gross for anyone interested in that sort of thing.
Just a civil complaint at this point; no criminal charges. Will be interesting to see if anyone else comes forward now.

Footballer Dani Alves's rape trial begins in Spain
Former Barcelona and Brazil football player Dani Alves has gone on trial in Spain accused of raping a woman in a nightclub.
The 40-year-old has been in prison without bail for more than a year since the alleged incident took place in December 2022.
Mr Alves could face up 12 years in prison if found guilty.
He first denied having met his accuser, but later said they had had consensual sex. His trial ends on Wednesday.
More than 30 people, including Dani Alves and his estranged wife, are expected to testify.

If the reporting of the case is correct (always an if of course) he will be very lucky not to be convicted. Changing his story every time he knows more evidence has been found (allegedly) is not going to play well.
General attorney is asking 9, accusation 12. They will give him at most 7 years. Which he will spend a third for good conduct (quite standard in Spain) which is about 2 years. Counting that he had been in prison more than a year, he will be out of prison in monthsand all goodie goodie
A conviction for rape and even a short prison sentence will make him a social pariah you would hope. Plus he seems to have burnt his marriage to the ground. Still presumably very wealthy which is probably just as well for him as sponsorship and other football related jobs will presumably be thin on the ground.
I agree with you, but i think that a rapist should spend at least a decade and that is what pisses me off. But i am aware that is my arbitrary opinion
A pariah? Maybe in open society. Will hurt him if he ever thought on being a coach or a pundit but he already finished his footballer career. If he had been smart with the money he will have no problems.
Inwards? Knowing how footballers might treat women, who knows how he will spin it among his friends. His mom is completely on his side and his wife seems that she forgave her lately so yeah, some negative effect. But again not as much as he deserve if it is proven (as it seems)
This came to people's attention in the French-speaking world in the last few days, including on this side of the Atlantic. French actress Judith Godrèche went public about being groomed by arthouse film-maker Benoît Jacquot when she was only 14 while he was 39 back in 1987.
The following paragraphs from the article are damning not only for Jacquot but also the entire French film industry.

Agreed. Many sexual offences seem, on the face of it, to get very light punishments in comparison to, say, property crime.
I'd send him to prison just for saying “It was me, without irony, who was under her spell for six years.”
Yep. Jacquot is an absolute scumbag for even saying those words. I have seen scumbags among producers and directors abusing their position on fully grown-up actresses before, but going that far on a 14-year-old teenager is the lowest of the low.

So Alves had been condemned 4 years and 6 months as guilty of rape. I posted the same in the football forum but as it had been commented here. there we go:
So basically this cnut raped a girl. changed his version 5 times to the judge:
- There was no encounter and he didn't know her
- Oh but there are cameras: So yes, I remember now. We met at the bathrooms but thats all
- Then that he knew who is the girl through some friends
- Something might had happened but no penetration just some good'ol blowy. All consensual
- Oh but there is DNA in her vaginal area: Oh well, yes, we feck but was all consensual. The girl was probably mad because I asked to get out of the bathroom separately
Meanwhile, the girls version was clearly consistent along time, testimony, videos and medical explorations
Range for Alves criminal offence is 4 to 12 years
But guess what. There is a provision of mitigation to pay reparations in advanced
Alves paid 150.000 what puts him on this mitigation to the lower end of 4 to 8 years. Meaning. You are rich? You shave already 4 years of prison right of the bat
In the end he had been condemned 4 years and 1/2 . IMO to not say that they condemned him to the bare minimum
Under spanish law, if you are well behaved you might get out of prison on probation after you served 1/3 of the time. Meaning that in 1.5 years of time he would be able to get out of prison. He already served 1 year and 1 month. Meaning that in 5 months he might get out of prison
Lovely

Maybe it was some kind of role play.
But in al seriousness, it's fecked up how little you get punished for abusing/raping women.

Well in that thread you can see why it's still not seen as that big a deal overall.
A lot of people just clearly don't see rape or assault as a big issue.
What the heck is going on with P Diddy?
Where is Ja Rule?!
And Meek Mill?
I think he's absolutely fecked. The amount of allegations is ridiculous.
Hide yo kids, hide yo wife.
They always fecking get away with it. feck him, I hope he has a long and painful death.
Revealed: Magician David Copperfield accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women
