I saw dozens of articles on right-wing media about that woman boxer but none about this child rapist.
I wonder why.
Just post something 💛
I saw dozens of articles on right-wing media about that woman boxer but none about this child rapist.
I wonder why.
Now imagine how the 22 year old that he raped feels about seeing him in the news. No sympathy for the pedophile.
Booing is a step.
Shunning would be really nice.
Having him banned from traveling outside of the Netherlands, the country that gave him a one-year prison sentence for raping a 12yo old Is what I want.
He served his year in England where he committed the crime and was sentenced to eight. The Netherlands got him extradited and then released him in less than a month. Everyone involved in their Olympic committee that allowed him to represent their country should be fired.
Through tears, he mentioned a British tabloid article which included a picture of his wife. “That’s when I broke down,” Van de Velde said. “I did something wrong, ten years ago. I have to accept that. But hurting people around me—whether it’s [teammate Matthew Immers], my wife, my child... that just goes too far for me.
He didn't care about the kid he raped, or her family and friends and how he ruined her life. He only cared when a newspaper showed a picture of his wife. :/
Michel Everaert, the general director of the Dutch Volleyball Association (Nevobo), also claimed Tuesday that the booing Van de Velde faced had been instigated by British newspapers. “It’s just organized,” Everaert said when asked about how the booing increased during the Games, according to the Brabants Dagblad newspaper. “They stirred up the whole story, those English tabloids.
.... Is the Dutch government unfamiliar with Olympics coverage? Every Olympics, the athletes' histories get examined and shared with the public. Did they somehow expect that this would not be covered by the press?
Maybe Austin Powers' dad was right about the Dutch
Jbfc, what a deluded and selfish POS. I hope more bad things happen to him. Hopefully, someone gives him a hard privilege check and he realizes this isn’t about him. Then maybe he can truly be sorry without people shitting on him.
All of this could have been avoided if he chose not to be a child rapist.
Steven if you don't want to get booed for it just become a politician and run for president
Or you know, not have sex with 12 year old girls. That usually does the trick.
Fuck this asshole. I don't think his life should be over, but he shouldn't be representing his country anywhere. Shame on the Netherlands too for sending this rapist to the Olympics.
The daily beast is smoking crack if they think I'm going to turn off my adblocker for them.
Worst is that our national Olympics committee somehow still thought it'd be good to have him on the team.
