THe Conor Mcgregor thread

What was the footage of that he was so intent on releasing it.
I assume it isn't the clips that have been in the public domain already.

It was footage from the hotel car park and lift areas on the night of the rape, showing Ms Hand and James Lawrence. Ms Hand was very intoxicated in the footage. It was reported on in the trial.

As far as I can see, McGregor is trying to circumvent the Jury findings by seeking to have one part of the trial evidence released and taken out of context.

Important to note that the jury saw this footage and still found him liable, so his (and his Italian lacky's) assertion that if people saw the CCTV then they would change their mind about the case is utter bullshit.

It is, imo, just another attempt by him to punish Ms Hand and try to sell the narrative that the court was wrong.
 
Sure.

They are not equally appalling behaviours though, imo.
Entirely different behaviours and in no way linked imo..
Both are utterly repulsive and incomprehensible carry on to me but in completely different ways and CMs is on a totally different scale.
In terms of a criminal prosecution it’s my extremely limited understanding that her behaviours and the state she was in and inability to remember all events, captured on cctv, were determining factors in DPP decision..
I think that’s where CM was attempting to go with release of this footage.. effectively try and rehold the civil case in the public domain
 
That's a very naive view to be honest. The book "Catch and Kill" by Ronan Farrow, which is about Harvey Weinstein gives a really good account of how powerful people can make it so that a victim feels they have no other options.

I am not saying that McGregor has done this, but it certainly has been done by powerful rapists.
Matlock . Would you advise a client to .make sure they obtained some very Guaranteed consent before they engaged in sex on a casual night out.
Any idea how they should get this

I had an idea for an app called iConsent.
Both people scan their finger prints and press the green button that says ‘I want the ride’. The button wouldn’t be too big so you’d have to be mostly compos mentis to manage to press it. The app would disable the camera to cut out illegal dissemination of the high jinx

If you thought jonnies were a passion killer.. wait til you try this yoke

You joke, but like it's not that mad a concept.

If I was 18 again I'd rather swap my finger on an app instead of having a casual fling and potentially being accused of rape the next morning.

Your app is no more a mood-killer than stopping to put on a condom is.

As many have said before, having casual sex these days is an absolute minefield. I've had sex with girls who probably forced me into it, but I didn't give a fuck at the time as I was tired and drunk, and giving them my knob often meant having somewhere to stay for the night.

But I'll get over it.

Are you homeless?
Overpowered physically by a wan were you?
Didn't feel like ya had the power to stop her?
My hole you were forced.

Admitted yourself that you didn't give a f**k at the time so that in itself is consent.
"I'm not in the mood but shure f**k it I may as well" hardly qualifies as being coerced into anything.

Reckon it's probable that anyone giving you a bed for the night was not entirely "complus mentos"

Why is it so f**kin difficult for ya thickos to understand that most girls probably don't really want to f**k ya on a pissed up night out?
Deep down ya know that's the case, right?
That's why there's all this railing against the notion of having to be sure there's consent.
