As you may have seen yesterday, Harvey Weinstein, the longtime Hollywood movie producer, was finally convicted after what appears to be a lifetime of sexually abusing and assaulting and victimizing women, he was finally convicted of multiple sex crimes. I'm going to talk a little bit about that case, but I'm particularly going to hone in on the response that I saw afterwards, which concerns me.

In great part because two wrongs don't make a right, but as somebody who wants to see the justice system or the legal

system radically changed from the inside out, I saw some people cheering for some things on social media yesterday that I understand.

I get it, but let me push back a little bit all right?

This is Sean King and you are listening to

The Breakdown.

The Breakdown.

The Breakdown. The man was violent and abusive to people that I've

come to know over these past few years. He literally encouraged Hillary Clinton's

2016 presidential campaign to target and harass my dear friend the late Erica Garner as she became an effective campaigner for Bernie. I saw the emails to the

campaign and I talked with Erica about that and it terrified her to see this man, a

man in power, she was struggling at that point in her life, just an everyday person

fighting for justice for her father. And to see that Harvey Weinstein knew her and was throwing her under the bus and emails to the campaign

concerned her.

But as of yesterday, Harvey Weinstein is now a convicted sex offender.

Now I am nothing but glad

that he's being held accountable for his abuses.

Period. End of Story.com. No ifs ands or buts.

Soon after the world realized that he was being sent to Rikers,

which is the primary jail for all of New York City.

As soon as people learn that he was being sent there, just as all convicted men in New York

City are, the conversation went somewhere that I just can't support.
