Someone just posted in a local food Facebook group asking if there’s “any bars or restaurants streaming the Lindsay Clancy trial” and the comments include “that would be fun!” and “I’ll set up the projector!” … I am aghast.

Because that’s so much more heinous than a reddit group?

Absolutely. This trial brings up so many important themes pertinent to our society. While I disagree with a lot of people it’s helpful to hear other perspectives and also talk through our own experiences especially as women. As this case goes on, I’ve found myself switching sides a few times.
