I think I may go to the Islamic kebab place tomorrow but instead of getting a fundamentalist donair I'll ask her to pile it on. They didn't seem like haters when I was there before.

Not at this point in time right now today 6:00pm
Try to understand tho that terrorists strike at any time anywhere! Like London buses or World Trade Centre, I would rather not see any more random or organised murders of people to whome are just going about there bossiness, please.
How do u know that Hooters is not the next target ? You don't and neither does anyone else. The "it won't happen to me" attitude is what these people use as a element of surprise

If you have followed this I'm sure you've seen he hasn't served his sentence yet. He's out on licence. That usually comes with some restrictions rather than just getting on with things.
You must also have seen how the website in support of him (that until now) had his full backing and has revealed enough about the victim for her to have been identified, shamed and need to change identity and home several times with each 'outing' of her by those supporting him.
Finally, now, he has expressed some regret over this so maybe the stance people are taking will soften a bit.
All legal technicalities aside, when you read the specific details of the night's events, I can understand that people want nothing to do with him and don't want him playing for the team they cheer for.

What is it with footballers and spit roasts? Is it because they are in the closet or something?

She was apparently sober enough to walk into the hotel and then remember she had left a pizza in a cab and then go back and get.
One man cleared of rape the other man not.
It's a very bizarre case based on what the media has printed.

A panelist on Question Time summed it up nicely: drunk man having drunken sex with a drunken woman who has no memory of what happened. Nobody knows what happened, especially the woman. Perhaps the woman did consent? Who knows. There certainly seems to be ample doubt regarding the circumstances.
