EVEN GIBBS TWEETING ABOUT

Since he's on such a self righteous mission to eradicate the world of rapists he could start with the rapist Dotard in Chief of Dumbfcukinstan!

In the context of the Caribbean, when an event or problem arises (whether political, social, or otherwise), people sometimes respond by drawing parallels to similar or worse issues in other parts of the world. The underlying impulse seems to be, "Why focus on our flaws when others have them too, or even more so?"

While it’s natural to make comparisons, using the problems of other countries as a shield isn’t a true justification. Every society benefits from honest self-reflection and a willingness to address its own challenges, regardless of what’s happening elsewhere.It’s about real people, real suffering, and a system that failed them—over and over again.

I expect idiotic responses to my posts, such as the one above. When one cannot refute, attack the poster.

I wonder if this was an accusation that did not involve a popular person, if you would have acted just as incensed?

I am voicing a pain and conflict that too often gets lost in public debates—how to hold space for both the victims’ suffering and the human complexity on the other side when allegations of sexual violence arise. The weight of those eleven women’s voices is heavy: daughters, sisters, friends—each with a story that echoes beyond the moment, shaping the rest of their lives. When the system fails them, it’s not just a procedural error; it’s a betrayal that deepens the trauma and teaches others to stay silent.They are never the same.

But I also see the accused—not as a headline, but as a person. Someone who, in another context, is a loving father, a talented young man with a future, a source of pride for his family. It’s dissonant: the warmth of a family reunion contrasted sharply against the cold reality of the allegations.

It’s vital to remember that rape is a crime no matter who commits it—fame, talent, or family standing don’t change that. The suffering of survivors must never be minimized or dismissed. Yet, the accused is also more than just an accusation; they are a whole person, with those who love and depend on them.
Justice demands both compassion and clarity: a process that hears the pain of the victims and the humanity of the accused, that doesn’t let status excuse harm, or let public outrage become its own form of injustice

This is a dilemma with no easy answer. But acknowledging both sides—real people, real suffering—reminds us why it matters to get it right and why silence or inaction is never acceptable.
Both families are in pain today.

man...you sure know a lot without getting all the details

This is the EXACTLY why the justice system doesn’t work in the Caribbean, and those in it don’t care to fix it.

Police, judge and jury aplenty, everywhere.
