[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 446098, member: 33"] I really have not detected any gloating over Russell Brand's conviction, I think the reaction is more one of shame and embarrassment of previously finding this guy entertaining, even though he used to boast about past lewd behaviour. I also detect there is a significant section of people, almost exclusively men, who are choosing to defend or mitigate his actions and to question the credibility of the women he abused. Even saying people are judging him for being a weirdo is doing that, when people are actually judging him for being a rapist and sex abuser who just happens to be weird. Similarly, people saying they wanted to get him for rape to punish him for his political commentary when nobody takes his political views seriously as they are are a bigger joke than his old stand up routines. Sometimes the evidence is straightforward and overwhelming: Russell Grant is an odious rapist who has been found out. There is nomitigation, there are no excuses and he deserves to be in prision.
