He was acquitted because his accusers got caught lying.

FACTS

[@lucascoval828]

"Imagine my shock."

[@FGuilt]

So...he got acquitted and..."go away till you own up to your abuse"? What is the deal?

[@blackcoffee.]

People know who Jian is. His story is known.

Interesting to see that witch hunts are still on the go.

[@mrdarkevilme]

you don't need to redeem yourself from having your life destroyed by a conspiracy of deplorables.

[@marooned_space_princess]

You know who's voice should never be heard or taken seriously? His accusers, who were all caught lying in court and falsely accused Gomeshi... He's been acquitted, let him move on with his life now.

[@jordansmall141]

So what's the point in going through a trial, being found not guilty by over whelming evidence if your still gonna be punished like a guilty person afterwards. Our system is clearly broken, I feel so bad for people who go through this.

[@blackcoffee.]

Think OJ Simpson.

[@film79]

So you think the problem with the system is that people don't respect it's judgements?

[@GordieGii]

As it stands now his KZbin video has over 40% thumbs up. A lot of people know he's innocent. He doesn't need to own up to "what he's done" Jesse Brown and the lying bitches need to own up to what they've done and the courts need to apply purgery laws to people who have been shown to have lied under oath and have admitted to lying under oath. The police need to start investigating allegations of sexual assault to stop wasting taxpayer's money and the courts' time.

social media is a den of gossippers with no spine. it is why I don't have a channel. it takes more than it can give!

[@screamingfalcon4469]

It's sad that the court of public opinion will always outweigh the court of law in this case. This reminds me of a Chris Rock quote:"You want to be innocent in jail? I'd rather look guilty at the mall"

[@angelroman3487]

Wouldn't that be the opposite of what your saying ?

[@robynhope8685]

He was acquitted and should get his job as radio host back. He was much better than Shad and Tom Power.

No double standards here, nothing to see, move along.

Iranian dude was dismissed by everyone.

[@alanross2876]

Not guilty an all charges, so why he is still treated as guilty?

[@blackcoffee.]

And what's he covering now ... the Iranian regime's treatment of women. Lol ! You can't make this stuff up. How many more Sarah Polley's are out there Jian ?

[@marty2090]

0.

[@bananian]

Regardless of whether he's right or not. He should have addressed the obvious and what's on people's mind when they see or hear about him.

72 Dislikes, 1 Like. That's 72 thumbs down from hands who's index fingers are pointing CityNews towards the unemployment line..

There is one "thumbs down" right now and I suspect who did it.
