Sean Combs, also known as Diddy, was found not guilty on the most serious charges in his trial, including the sex trafficking of Casandra Ventura and ‘Jane’, an anonymous claimant. He was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
As the verdicts were being announced, a party broke out outside the courthouse. Combs' supporters chanted his name, danced, and even covered themselves in baby oil – a grim reference to the large amounts of baby oil discovered at Combs' residence, which, many witnesses alleged, was involved in the music mogul's drug-fuelled sex marathons, or ‘freak-offs’.
Combs’s lawyer Marc Agnifilo called the verdict a “great victory” and said the jury “got the situation right – or certainly right enough” as he stood outside the federal court following the verdict. “Today is a victory of all victories,” he added.

The article is actually about whether rape trials should have juries. And I know the trail was really upsetting but I am really posting because I cant believe that, and it isn't just men, some people think someone like this is worthy of support.
And last week I saw this on C4 news https://www.channel4.com/news/conor-mcgregor-mma-fighter-alleged-rapist-irelands-next-president and no more than I want to diminish the awfulness of the rape charges in the first link, do I want to diminish current political tensions in Ireland. But how do these type of violent men come to be seen as the answer or admirable.
In the same was as Trump I suppose.
Tate and Robinson.
Or is it that this is just as it has always been, that men are allowed to be violent misogynists but people think a domineering bully is the best sort of leader.
