Maryland police ‘tweet’ photographs of men suspected of using the services of prostitutes – before they’ve even been on trial

Our thanks to a much-valued East European supporter who regularly send us links to interesting stories. This one is about vigilante justice being meted out by the police in Maryland. Our supporter writes:

I think we can forget the notion that the west is run by rule of law. Those were the days. Men are now being humiliated before even being convicted of visiting a prostitute.
Never mind that the prostitute, who profits from men’s natural urge/need to have sex, is deemed above the law, or to be the victim… the victim who makes 15 000 dollars a month, pays no taxes, and drives a sports car, while men sweat for mediocre wages and are lucky to get laid once a week.
And this is why I have nothing but contempt for any man who still believes that women need to be treated in a gentlemanly fashion. Precisely because of men’s mindsets, men are being hunted down like medieval witches and shamed in  public while those profiting from their misfortune are being put on a pedestal.
I hope that men come to their senses as soon as possible, before it is too late.
