Ironically, the self-styled activists who continue to persecute Mr. Furlong are guilty (no pun intended) of  having the same type of  mentality as Donald Trump, someone with whom I doubt they have much in common, given his "grabbing" comments, etc.  People with this mentality argue that  legal processes and decisions are only legitimate and should be respected if they are decisions they agree with. Like Trump, these people choose to regard unfavorable court processes or decisions are as rigged, biased, or racially motivated (e.g. Trump didn't trust a Judge of Mexican ancestry to give him a fair hearing).  This degrades respect for the courts and replaces it with mob rule, where justice is whatever the mob says it is. Whether you are a social activist or an intellectually challenged American politician, the presumption of someone's innocence until PROVEN guilty in a court of law, is fundamental to a free and democratic society and should always prevail.
