"So who does he have a fundamental right to have sex with?"

Greta Thunberg springs to mind... I can't think of anyone who more desperately needs a badaboom. At 16, she is legally old enough.

"What happens when someone who doesn’t understand consent runs into someone who doesn’t comprehend the rules of deadly force?"

You can read about these encounters, every few days, on the American Rifleman website, "The Armed Citizen".

I can’t think of anyone more unattractive—to the extent that only a low-IQ moron would want her...and then just looking at her, the effort would fall flat.

This ruling goes completely contradicts the legal reasoning underpinning statutory rape laws.

She is a life support system for a vaj. In the Dark, they all look alike.

And I have the right to defend myself against anyone that doesn’t understand my right to say NO!

All those folks in ‘The Armed Citizen’ seem to understand deadly force quite well.

Another judge going by feelings instead of logic.

Best line of the week, maybe the month. The UK has gone certifiably insane.

The real issue is to make committing rape legal for Muslims and then to make it a crime for a woman to refuse or resist. This decision is a start. Next they will rule that Islam has a “rich cultural heritage” that sees sex and consent differently than the rotten evil Western societies. So Muslim men will be given complete freedom to abuse their women and complete freedom to rape Western women. And the New Wave feminists will fully support this.

I always wonder why I never hear any British agitation for something resembling our Bill of Rights.

He should be locked up in an insane asylum, in a locked room, where he cannot hurt anyone.

The “doctor” who concluded that it was OK to let him loose in society, because if he doesn’t understand “no”, he can ignore it, should be locked up in an asylum too, he is a danger to society, letting dangerous, crazy people run around loose.

Apparently, in the UK, go for it. Act as if you are mentally impaired, and this Judge will consider that you, "cannot understand that a woman’s consent is relevant in sexual situations, nor that attempting sex without consent is likely to be a criminal offence."

The judge said that insisting that you understands the issue of consent before being allowed to pursue sexual relationships would be discrimination because it would “impose on you a burden which a capacitous individual may not share”.

Stop laughing. This silly, Socialist twit is serious. I would say that simply voting democrat would qualify as "someone who might lack the mental capacity to make decisions." This makes you gold.

[...] However, the judge said that insisting that JB understands the issue of consent before being allowed to pursue sexual relationships would be discrimination [...]

The "journalist" who wrote this article apparently has no understanding of the subjunctive mood.

JB doesn't understand the issue, therefore one cannot insist that "JB understands...."
