    I’m sure Brigitte Bardot will be along shortly to protest the injustice…of a sex criminal suffering the consequences of their actions.

      I searched her Wikipedia page and she seems cool as hell, but no mention of prisoners rights advocacy.

        It’s not that. She supported Gerard Depardeau. It was a controversy about sexual assault in the French film industry. There’s a bunch of articles covering it.

          EWW!!! Thanks for the context. I did not see that in my skimming.

          Although personally I do believe in upholding certain basic rights for all people, criminal or no.

            …don’t we all? It’s one thing to support basic human decency without going out of your way to defend a clearly predatory industry or person, as she did. As the lack of oversight here allowed this individual to rape 300 people.

        She’s a feminist and animal rights activist, yes. She is also pretty islamophobic and racist, also noted on the wiki page.

          Guess I’m bad at reading. Seems worthy of a " controversies " section at that point…
