In my country attacked usually involves a machete,some home torture instruments like a clothing iron,and a trip to the ER if you survive.That's a sissified slap Weinie got,playground stuff,not an attack imo.
I mean come on, That’s probably just a little foreplay for Harvey. He and people like him have used their money to stay out of the system, a tale as old as time. People are getting fed up with that scenario. When the system is not able to work as it should because he is protected by his peers and his money, this is the expected outcome. People will take what justice they can get in a broken system. It’s not like he was beaten up, or had his property damaged. He was just tossed out of a restaraunt and slapped lightly. If he had raped your loved one, and bought his way out of actual justice, what would you do?

As much as people Hate Weinstein.
There is simply no excuse for this.
Agreed. Some people just jump on the wrong side of every controversy. Rapists don’t last long when they are allowed to walk around freely.

From where I am standing you all read like total animal thugs, worse than Weinstein.
From where I am standing you read like your moral compass is broken. You seriously think people laughing at a serial sex offender getting his face tapped twice are worse than a serial sex offender who has taken advantage of and exploited dozens of women? Get real.

Where is justice happening in the Courts for Weinstein? Seems to me he has got off lightly.
It was only a couple of girly slaps, if even that.
Where is your sense of proportion?

Vigilantism - however weakly performed - is an attack on something greater than just the targeted person or persons. It is an attack on the Rule of Law - or in this case an attack on the constitutional secured right for all to fair trials.
You cannot just go around punishing people for whatever crimes of which the media accuse the person. Not even if you are super confident, that the media has been truthful and honest and that the person actually is guilty.
(and if you do it for the attention, yeah, you are scum)
It has already been shown that he used his money and influence to avert the legal system and the medias spotlight. That whole fair trial thing goes both ways. What happens when it is shown that the legal system can be bought? My guess is that people stop trusting the legal system. When they stop trusting it they stop relying on it. There seems to be an entire group of people who can avert legal consequences based on their prominence and the amount of money they are willing to spend to fly under the radar. I’m not really condoning vigilante acts, I’m just pointing out that this is to be expected when it is shown that the legal system Is willing to turn a blind eye for favors and cash.
