VIDEO: Protesters form flash mob outside Weinstein rape trial

As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service on the internet, DML News App offers the following information published by NBCNews.com:
Dozens of women dressed in black gathered Friday outside the New York City courthouse where disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein is standing trial for rape, loudly chanting anti-assault anthems inspired by a Chilean feminist collective.
“It’s not my fault — not where I was, not how I dress,” the protesters can be heard shouting in unison in a video clip tweeted by The New York Times journalist Jodi Kantor, who won a Pulitzer Prize with her colleague Megan Twohey for their reporting on sexual misconduct allegations against Weinstein.
The article goes on to state the following:
“The rapist is you,” the assembled women said, apparently pointing directly at the courthouse where the Oscar-winning producer faces charges that he raped a woman in a Manhattan hotel room in 2013 and performed a forcible sex act on another woman in 2006.
