You're victim-blaming and then wondering why someone might criticize the people who post here. That's rich!

It will be deleted as it was when it was posted before.
Why deleted? No idea since the mods and the Brojos love this thread.

meanwhile, many of the posters of letsrun are blaming the reporter because of an Instagram photo she posted on Halloween. Name calling, etc. But they allow that discussion to continue in the name of having a dialogue. And they say Marathon Investigation readers form a lynch mob.
Derek, why don't you respond to my accusation that you are negligent and did zero investigation before doxxing the guy? Where is your promise to allow the other side to speak? Does that only apply after they jump off a bridge for you? Why won't you delete my stuff off your website and all the files and tools of mine?
Who is the “they” he refers to?
I get the idea that he really doesn’t like the Brojos.
Are you saying there’s folks out there that don’t like the Brojos?

Sounds like Derek is suddenly trying to pander to the self-righteous, “outrage” class.

Yeah, can’t believe those terrible sexists who think that this poor victim of a violent sexual assault should accept the guy’s apology and use it as a teaching moment.
The woman will need years of therapy. She should be lauded endlessly for her bravery. The guy should be jailed for decades.
How about wager on how many people will be shot in Chicago during the life of this thread?
Right wing justice warriors butt hurt all around ?

He didn't apologize for slapping her a$$. He made excuses, he claimed he was trying to raise his hand and accidentally hit her on the back, but didn't know where. He's a liar and she doesn't need to accept his "apology" and he definitely shouldn't get air time.
He did... wrote:
He has apologized. Publically and called the station and apologized.
He requested permission to come to the station to apologize in person to her. He was denied.
What’s that show you?
Station manager sucks and reporter is trash just looking to milk this for a payday.
We are locking this thread as it doesn't seem to have a productive purpose and is spiraling into a few people posting back and forth.
this thread is back open and for registered users only.
Blaming the victim just because you don't agree with the social media backlash is repugnant.
Peculiar that, after several threads complaining about this thread being locked, no one is posting now that it is reopened only for registered posters. I feel like, as they said when they locked it, it was just a couple individuals posting.

Personally I find her unattractive so I didn't bother to look at all of her pics. That's not to say what Tommy did was proper, but her sudden angelic virgin-like persona where she is SO DAMAGED AND OFFENDED that someone slapped her butt, it's just too much. And it's fake.
Don't believe me? Don't believe others here? Then go on to the thousands of comments on any of the Yahoo stories about this and you'll see the same. It's at least 3-1 against her. Not because of the butt slap, but because of her actions and statements post-love tap.
NONE OF THOSE PHOTOS MATTER.
A woman posts pics where she thinks she looks sexy? Because of that, her outrage and getting her butt slapped on live tv while she’s doing her job is... fake? It’s almost like you’re saying her Instagram photos mean that she would like such an assault rather than being upset about it.
What your entire post boils down to is: ‘judging by her Instagram posts, she’s the type of woman who asked for it.’
Quite a few years ago I recall at least a couple of occasions at work I was slapped on the rear by female colleagues. In a bar one night a young woman came up to me and introduced herself to me by grabbing my crotch. The most I can say about these events was I was a little surprised. I didn't feel threatened, or even cheapened and certainly not traumatised. I wouldn't have dreamed of initiating legal action. I am
sure I wasn't the only young man of my generation treated this way. I'm not saying I approve of these events, which are now characterised as a form of assault; I just wasn't really bothered by it that much. I can't imagine trying to make criminals of the young women who acted in the way they did towards me. The reporter in this story had a right to be p*ssed off at what was oafish behaviour by the guy concerned and was within her rights to demand an
apology - but legal charges? Really?
No, it doesn’t boil down to that at all.
What it boils down to is that some of us find her response a bit over the top, and these photos rather confirm that. Is that so hard to understand?
And yes, we are fully aware of all the things you woke people will accuse us of for thinking so.
The guy needed to be embarrassed and chastised (to an extent). Criminal charges is a bit excessive for a moment of stupidity in judgment.
You are still failing to understand the concept of consent. The acts that someone engages in consensually have nothing to do with how that person should be expected to respond to nonconsensual touching.
Legal charges? Arrested? For this?
Couple that with immediately removing toxic pictures on her Instagram and you begin to wonder who you should have sympathy for.
She is willing to destroy someone's life for her 15 minutes of fame.
