Whatever lawyer or lawyers thought “blame the victimized child” was a good defense strategy need to be disbarred.
“Look, Boeing offed a whistle blower. We can’t do worse than that, right?”
Two, two whistleblowers
Two so far. No closet is deep enough to bury that many skeletons. The first few murders are to slow further whistleblowers, it’s just business to Boeing.
Two that we know of. I doubt this was a recent decision, probably years of employees “suicide or accidents” that should be looked into.
Sorry, but If my employer asked me to defend a p3do and blame a 9-yo instead, I might just have to take that golden parachute. There are plenty of other high-paying corporate law positions out there.
my employer asked me to defend a p3do
That’s my least favourite Star Wars character, too
Why? I’d be happy to give them a defense that obviously won’t work. Otherwise someone else could’ve get them a better one.
Ehh, not far from the standard defense strategy of blaming a rape victim. Personally, I’d like to see victim blaming thrown out of a courtroom/law and any attorney that tries it to be at the very least reprimanded for it and at most sanctioned like fined or disbarred. All attacking victims do is prevent people coming forward and it keep criminals free.
But did they ask what kind of underwear she was wearing?!?!!1?ONE?
Women get blamed for being victimized constantly because it works. If there was no backlash the judge probably would have agreed with it.
Essentially:
We did don’t know this would become a public interest story in national media
It wasn’t an accident, it was the boilerplate answer corporate lawyers always give.
My god how dumb and lazy is this man? Taping a phone to a toilet?
It apparently worked multiple times until he got caught according to the article.
My question is- I’m not going to look, but with the vast amount of porn on the internet, I’m sure you can find toilet cam pissing and shitting porn. Why take this sort of risk?
Since the girl in the story that surfaced this whole thing was 14, I think
girl, 9
might be a clue.
I guess yeah. A pedo into hidden cam pictures of girls pissing and shitting. Like I don’t understand pedophilia to begin with, but this is a whole new level of what the fuck is wrong with this person?
He had his head in the clouds
They get off on hurting real people.
im so glad that this picture exists, because this man will NEVER fucking live this down.
Not only did he commit a heinous crime, but he’s also a fucking dumbass.
Also, i’m shocked they didn’t immediately settle this case. You would think doing anything other than immediately settling this would be corporate suicide.
When has there been anything resembling judicial corporate death in the last 10 years
A precedent needs to be set yesterday.
judicial
im not talking about legal corpo death, i’m talking about death in the public eye. The ruling doesn’t matter, the fact that they even tried to fight this is fucking wild.
It sounds like it’s their insurance company that is handling the thing and their first action was to fight instead of settle. If AA really wanted to send the right message to the public with this announced backtracking, they’d have announced that they’d just dropped their previous insurance company in favor of one that’s not completely insane.
the ONLY reason i can assume the started fighting this, was because they didn’t know about the image.
Big fucking mistake it turns out. The only reason i mention settlements is because they’re privately settled and often give people fuck tons of money. The dude would’ve be arrested anyway, so it’s only good PR at the end of the day, since now they likely would have an NDA, but apparently whoever is working for them is a little fucking stupid.
Imagine being the first person that lawyer pitched his idea to and not responding violently.
Who would they pitch it to, besides the court?
I like to think for something as high stakes as the argument you’re going to make in court that a lawyer would have partners or employees or something to bounce ideas off before pulling the proverbial trigger on it.
Edit: oh and discussing such things with the client too
The client is probably their permanent employer, but yes
Behold, how capitalists justify immoral behavior. “it’s not my fault my actions hurt so many people, they should have realized I was going to hurt them and stopped me”
The problem is that American Airlines needs another TAX PAYER FUNDED BAILOUT so they can hire BETTER lawyers and buy BETTER cameras to spy on little girls peeing! We could take money from EDUCATION and give it to AMERICAN AIRLINES TOILET CAMERA FUND!
Holy shit I thought this was The Onion. They are clinging at straws. Fuck corporate greed, all my homies hate big corporations. Never flying with them again.
Will never understand the people who get off on women using the bathroom. Is it just the thrill of stripping them of their privacy?
In a sense, yes.
Usually they phrase it like “sharing in their most intimate moments” but without consent that’s just an innocuous way of saying exactly your first reaction.
In some ways, its related to loneliness, filling a need they haven’t filled other ways.
the same reason anybody ever has a kink.
Scratches a particular itch, in this case it just happens to be extremely illegal, unlike most kinks.
Upskirts, peepingtoms, spy cameras, rape… it’s about non-consent and if I remember one of my college classes chapters, a sense of power over others. It’s a mental illness and needs treatment, but here in Murica, we just put people in jail.
Eeehhhh, I’m kinda OK with this guy being excused from general society for a bit. I’d prefer he had the chance to learn how to be a better human (like the Nordic countries’ models), but I can hope and vote for those changes while he’s in time out.
Yeah, sorry it was meant to be implied but not said. He committed a crime, strong punishment and lifetime tracking is fine.
Fuck Fox"News".
This isn’t, this is a local affiliate somewhere which is a different beast. Look at the URL.
Fuck Sinclair ‘media’
The station is owned by FOX Television Stations, not Sinclair. If you want to tell someone to fuck off, tell it to Rupert Murdoch, who ultimately is the owner of the FOX corp.
Seriously, blindly assuming “this must be bad because it sounds like something I dont like” and parroting an irrelevant"Fuck X" is the same thing as people saying “Dominion stole the election” when Dominion machines weren’t even in use in their county.
Looks about the same to me – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_MyNetworkTV_affiliates
But I was just being silly mostly. I’m not going to enter into an argument about whether or not TV news media is good/bad. I think the answer should be pretty clear.
