Reply #14: of course we are appalled [View All]

there was a high profile sex abuse on kids case in which people were accused, even found guilty, then found innocent because the prosecutor conviced the kids what to say but they had not been abused. most people thought the parents guilty from the get go and were shocked when the were found innocent later on. here in france we do not show photos of people in handcuffs be they rich or poor famous or not. it is not how stories like this are covered in france, seeing someone paraded around in handcuffs is not what our news looks like here in france. this is about differences in journalism too. people are not appauled that the accusations have been made public just appalled that the us news shows photos of cuffed people surrounded by cops before they are found guilty as our news does not cover stories in the same manner as american journalists do.

screwing around is not sophisticated, we just dont care if people do it, that is between them and their spouse. on the other hand assault is serious, if he is guilty this guy is toast here, political career over.
