    simple explanation, which in no way absolves these two from the choice they made in coming to the defense and support of a convicted rapist: family is family

      Which is an explanation and that explanation, where you’d defend “family” even when they did do something wrong, if not horrific, rather than say they should face the consequences of their choices.

      And that sort of defense is one where the person making it is just as evil as the person they’re defending.

      A comment I made elsewhere is even more relevant here:

      My family beat and outcast a member who turned out to be a predator. Fuck him, he’s dead now. Didn’t shed a tear.

      Blood is irrelevant and the family you choose is stronger.

      Fuck that. When I found out a family member had raped someone they were no longer family.

        When did you “find out”? Before or after the trial?

          You know that people can judge other people as guilty regardless of what a court finds them.

          Or do you think OJ Simpson didn’t murder his ex-wife?
