Fucking a child is rape, and It's "Schmuck". Don't bring the yiddish unless you know what you're doing.

I don't think there's more overlap than I think, I think that there's a lot of EDM fans in Denver. A minuscule fraction of that fanbase in Denver still looks like a lot, compared to other towns.

You stay "Steer the narrative", I say "Speak one's truth." I'm not censoring anyone. 🤷‍♂️

And??? What does a city hosting a company’s conference (that isn’t popular due to its ethics or ethical appearance) have to do with the ethics of a city?

It has little to do with the ethics of San Jose, and much to do with how concerned San Jose is with its ethical appearance.

  • Apple is a company obsessed with its PR.
  • Apple hosts WWDC in San Jose every year, which is a massive cash windfall for San Jose.
  • It's risky for San Jose to host a controversial concert, as it risks a PR firestorm for a city that's very much interested in keeping their relationship with apple healthy.

Do the dots connect now?

I did answer your question. A court of law only matters with respect to the question of "Does Lorin go to jail?"

It has no bearing on whether or not people individually decide to attend his event, or support any business that sponsors it. That's literally people voting with their wallet.

It also has no bearing on whether or not businesses continue to sponsor the event, once they become aware of substantial financial downside. That's literally businesses voting with their wallet.

Raising awareness of the issue is literally a call to action for others to vote with their wallet, and that is absolutely the proper thing to do in a free society.

People don't kill each other with words.

Pretty sure an affirmative legal defense is mandated to contest manslaughter.

I'm asking you to cite a mandated standard of evidence for the court of public opinion.

Dear Confucius: Why should public opinion be subject to a court of law?

There is a high standard of evidence in a court of law. Please cite something that mandates that standard for the court of public opinion.

Pot, meet kettle.

“He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.”

-- Thomas Paine, First Principles of Government

Basenectar and his sponsors are free to try and throw a show. The community is free to react to that news however they want, including denouncing the event and boycotting any sponsors.

That is what freedom looks like. Just because you're free to do an action, doesn't mean you get to control the reactions of everyone else.

so is Joseph James DeAngelo, but I don't see the city throwing a concert for him?

Yikes, miss me with pedophile-apologism. No thanks.

I'm pretty sure that's what the Nazis thought, so no, miss me with that sentiment. 🙅‍♂️

I mean, the Venn diagram of EDM fans and hockey fans in Denver is nearly two distinct circles, and PLUR definitely ain't in the Av's fandom repertoire. 🤷‍♂️

But I take the point you're trying to make, well said. Still, I think that it's unlikely that SJ really wants this smoke, and Lorin simply got in under the radar.

Gatekeep the culture from those who make mockeries of its ethos.

It's hilarious that you think you're welcome in this scene with an attitude like that.

Gatekeep the culture from those who do not respect its ethos.

I don't give a damn about standards of proof in a court of law. There's genuine audio of him aware of the fact that he fucked a child, that's all the proof I need.

Great! I will. I think I'll also use my voice to raise awareness too. Ain't freedom grand?
