What happened to free speech? If you think this is slander, don't the same rules apply; mustn't we presume the innocence of Yifan until she's proven guilty?

I think you made my point.

We used to have a process to figure out what happened and make a judgement after the facts have been laid out.

What we get now is emotional responses to outrageous headlines and mobs ready to crucify the accused.

What a farce.

    When was this? In your living memory? Was that time before or after Emmet Till was murdered by a lynch mob?
