re: CUBS star Addison Russell's ex wife details horrific abuse.

Doesn’t matter. The court of Lester has spoken


And I once thought Lester was a cubs fan

Let’s look at the two mindsets of prejudging a situation:

1. Take Lester’s stance and automatically assume that anyone who has claims made against them is guilty, evidence or not. Individual loses their job, loses scholarships, expelled from school, shamed by society, etc.

Turns out it was fraudulent after years of court cases. The individuals life is already ruined. People who called for that person’s destruction don’t care.

Oh, and more often than not, nothing happens to the person who lied.

2. Assume innocence until evidence arises that proves otherwise.

If guilty, punishment is meted. If innocent, accused is vindicated and no one’s life was destroyed.



Sadly, people like Lester favor the first option, accused be damned. If he ran the world, the Duke lacrosse team would be in prison.

You nailed it

They argue from a position of retardation and insanity.

By assuming innocence do you mean calling the victim a spiteful, attention-seeking instagram whore bitch ? Is that how that works ?

---

Would you rather mean names or losing your job, scholarships, expulsion, societal shame, etc.?

He could have not called her a name, but your stance is too stupid for words.

And should all of this fall flat and be proven as a false allegation, how else would you describe someone that tried to do this?

I like you better when you aren’t acting like a cartoon character

Is that on the OT or in this thread?

I get mixed up.

I like people better when they don’t hold crazy views.

Addison Russell provided a detailed rebuttal.
I'd like to read that. You happen to have a link?

Russell has denied all allegations of abuse

Also funny how y’all skip over Lester munson’s Statement that says the same thing I am

His statement amounts to nothing more than calling her a good writer.
