It's probably legal if all parties involved agree to it Kidnapping homeless girls and forcing them to become prostitutes is a little different dont you think?
I noticed there was a previous thread on Stevenson about his transgressions and there were a zillion posts on it. What this says to me is a lot of people feel strongly about his actions. He is, therefore, a polarizing figure. The bottom line for me is, you do the crime, you do your time. That does not mean, though, that just because you do your time, everything is cool. Stevenson is certainly entitled to legally pursue his boxing dreams and get his paydays for doing it. But you know what would really be justice, in this case? It would be to force him to pay restitution to these girls that he harmed, now that he is making big money. Now that would be justice. Have him give 50% of his purses to the girls he hurt. If Stevenson truly regrets what he did, he would not even be forced to do this. He would do it voluntarily. Until he does, I will continue to despise him.
I don't want to make this a race thread but it is blatantly the reason as to why he is hated more so than almost everyone else. Firstly, yes he's doing some despicable things, but it's magnified and exaggerated to far higher levels because of him being black. Look, I'm not racist or anything but that's just what most people feel. Society tells us that certain groups of people are more likely to commit certain crimes than others. If anybody else of a different race did what he did, I'm very confident that the entire situation would be much less discussed and possibly even forgotten. That's just how most feel (And myself). I believe that the reason for this massive hatred has more or less to do with the fact that the man is black. The prejudice is the basis.
Mvc two other idiots on here agree with you, where are you getting this idea that most people feel this is about race? The guys a sociopath and so are you and anyone else who thinks what he did was just some "mistake". End of discussion.
Look, I'm trying to get people to engage in an intellectual conversation. And it seems like nobody can refute anything I've said.
You do the crime, you do the time, should not apply to him. For some crimes people get death or life in prison for, his crime is that despicable. Some crimes are that unforgivable. I have cousins who are in jail for armed robbery for 30 years, far more time than he got, they deserve it, I'm White and grew up poor in a Haitian neighborhood in Miami, while crime riddled most were just petty criminals, they didn't resort to truly depraved actions because they were underprivileged. He is a piece of garbage, and it disturbs me that so many boxing fans moral compass is so broken they can overlook his actions because his has a cool nickname they can chant and he can knock out people.
^^^ agreed Girls were defending the Boston bomber because he's "cute" this world and its people are ****ed.
In fact, I would argue just the opposite. Take the Duke lacrosse incident in which some Duke lacrosse players were accused by a black stripper that she was raped when she was hired for a party. It was national news. Even though no evidence had yet been presented, many Duke faculty members called for the expulsion of the players. It later came out the stripper had lied. The prosecutor, Nifong, was disbarred for his withholding of evidence. She is now in prison for murdering her boyfriend. Contrast that with the murder of Eve Carson, the UNC student body president, who was kidnapped at gunpoint, driven around to withdraw money from her ATM and then shot 5 times, once in the face with a sawed off shotgun. The story got very little press. So, on the one hand, you have a black stripper accusing white preppie Duke lacross players of raping her. The story is in every major news publication in the country. You have the murder of a young, student body president by two young black men and it is hardly covered. And yet you want to argue that if Stevenson was white he wouldn't be getting any negative press?!
I'd like to challenge this with the O.J Simpson trial. Black, rich, famous and innocent above all. The most infamous trial case of all time (Media covered). Even though the man was innocent, he is still seen by most of the non black communities as guilty even though they have an extreme lack of evidence. :deal This is why I say that when a black man is involved, it's usually blown way out of proportions, exaggerated, magnified.
Well, now you're just attempting to provoke, because you don't even believe what you are saying. The only reason this case was a sensation was because Simpson was a famous, wealthy black man, who brutally murdered his ex-wife. Anyone with an iota of sense knows this to be the case. Clearly, jury nullification was instituted here, to the elation of much of the black community. Simpson wasn't so lucky in the civil case. He also wasn't so lucky when kidnapping and beating another victim and now rightfully rots in prison for it.
Tsarnaev is not a good example, he is white but Muslim and white Muslims do not have "white privilege". They have historically been mistreated and literally killed by other whites over the centuries in western countries. They receive little help or attention when they get killed or suffer mass expulsions like the Bosnian genocide, Russian atrocities, etc. You can not use them as an example, people saying he was "cute" were people online. But in the real-world someone like Tsarnaev isn't gonna get treated like a regular white boy. Especially now that he's in trouble with the law. Everybody aint treated the same, that's a fact. When people who are ethnic/religious/cultural minorities do something it's attributed the whole group. White crimes are not attributed to the group.
You think I'm trying to provoke, but that's not the case. He is innocent. And in law, one is innocent until proven guilty. The only crime he is guilty for is bringing a gun to a private resort trying to reclaim his items in 2009. And yes he deserves jail time for that, but his guilt was never proven in the 94-95 trial.
Jack dont bother with the guy, he's either trolling, or a sociopath. His rat sized brain can't comprehend that people would be outraged by a human trafficker because he himself is a sociopath and doesn't believe the exploitation of people is wrong. White sweat shop owner, Latino insider trader, black boxer pimp, all scum, nothing to do with race.
