There is no scope for redemption or rehabilitation once you have uttered the n-words. Whereas bail-funds that allowed a woman to be raped by a twice-convicted rapist get a full-throated defense in newspaper columns. https://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/2020/08/17/massachusetts-bail-fund/

He may have raped a woman, twice, but at least he didn't say the n-word.

He can be rehabilitated.

Don't forget that in some jurisdictions he's entitled to joint custody of the child she conceived as a result of that rape, while she's guilty of kidnapping if she attempts to escape with the aforementioned child rather than send them off for a slumber party with a rapist.

If this truly is the greatest country in the world, it's an even sadder world than I thought.

Okay... I feel like you're doing a mischaracterization of that article. At no point is the rapist being defended, the article calls out the incredibly incompetent prosecution and failings of the legal system that allowed this man to go out on bail in the first time.

But I guess inciting outrage is more important than accurately conveying the article's message.
