as a victim i think names should be suppressed until conviction. i nearly lost my job just because someone accused me. it's a nightmare

rich people get it, brown people don't. tell me i'm wrong.
facts. it's a circus. they don't care about justice they care about ratings

watch this get ignored until some celebrity gets named then everyone will care
