I give a fuck about what happens to him because he's being punished as a journalist, not as a rapist.
If you think this will stop at journalists who happen to be rapists, you are sorely mistaken. At this point we're basically legalising treatment not that far from Kashoggi for journalists who handle military leaks, even the responsible, non-rapey ones.
Just fucking unhinged
Yes, that would be an unhinged take. Good thing that it's also nothing close to what I wrote. Try actually reading what you reply to and not strawmanning.
I literally said that they're not punishing him for rape. What they do to him now will be what they do to all journalists publishing things the military doesn't like.
I love the way you twist other peoples' words. Very masterful.
I honestly have no idea what kind of aneurysm it takes to draw that from what I wrote
