Johnny Depp: what's your opinions?

the real problem with this is, none of us know the full story- sure we know what the newspapers have published, but who's to say they aren't biased and full of utter crap? just because Johnny Depp was well liked and respected, doesn't mean we can disregard the case as her being a 'gold digger', it's stupid and gives the wrong message to people- that they can get away with abuse too because it's fine. The court and jury will make their decision- if he's punished then he's guilty, if not Amber is trying to get attention and money- but either way, does our opinion really count? Nobody really cares what other people think, because people already have their own opinions, and aren't likely to change them, so why argue about it. The justice system will punish whoever deserves it, and till then- it doesn't really affect us, the general public.

I never said it was okay, but you need to understand my point, as it is one of the main reasons in why domestic violence takes place.

As far as I'm aware, citing the reason "gold-digging" as an excuse for domestic abuse will not hold in court

You don't blame the victim of domestic abuse when it takes place. It's not right.

What do you mean, "if not?" Either way she is this. And how is that seriously ok? What about that for an example, seriously?

You don't believe in due process, do you?

I honestly don't care about your opinion and you obviously don't care about mine, so I'm not getting into a debate with you because I'm seeing both sides of the argument, yet you are clearly too blinded to see both sides. I said, if she is faking, because no-one has any proof that it is either way apart from her, Johnny and the courts, so we should just leave the situation?

This thread was asking what we thought of the situation. What I think is that he is guilty of domestic abuse and should be punished accordingly.

If he is found not guilty then he shouldn't, and won't, be punished. If he is, he will. They will both hopefully be treated fairly under law, but until then, we are allowed to voice what we think (and I understand that many of you don't think he hit her/she's doing it for the money - but I'm allowed to express how appaling I find that too). It's not like I am passing the sentence or I'm in the jury.

I'm not dodging anything. And if you've "gathered," then leave it alone.

Lmao the "victim?" That's like if you came up to someone screaming and saying horrible things and flailing your arms at them while they're in a bad emotional/mental state, and they just happen to be stronger than you and the aggressor suddenly gets the bad end of what they started what a victim.

Whether or not it is provoked, they are still the victim, at least if the violent one is male. Violence is generally seen as not a valid response to mental and physical abuse.

Tbh, these actors and singers are all drugged up weirdos, wouldn't put anything past them

If he is found to have domestically abused her, I'd personally approve of the death penalty, even if it were provoked.

If she is found to have faked it (she is an actor, in the middle of divorce proceedings for a very large sum), then she should not be given any of his estate.

Nowhere in this pathetic description did you mention the fact that he physically attacked her.

But your posts sort of suggest we should believe the victim no matter what and you are getting emotional over the fact that some posters don't.

"Description?" Your vocabulary is what's pathetic. And nowhere in your entire pathetic argument have you seemed to realise people are human and make mistakes and shouldn't be exploited for them by "loved" ones. He's probably so alone and she is a snake.

I asked whether you agree that he should be held accountable if he did indeed attack her. Whatever the punishment that follows. Don't dodge the question.

And I've gathered what your point is, owing to the many repeating posts you've made about her just wanting his money.
