What the hell is going on in this country? Has it always been this way and the Internet is now bringing this all out?

Although from what I understand, the girl reported this to the police when it happened and, because of his political power, the police dropped it (I have to 100% confirm this so don't shoot me if I'm mistaken)....

If the above is true, no wonder these women wait 30 years (or don't come out at all).

He won his election despite Republican leaders urging him to drop out of the race after local media reported on some of his Facebook posts comparing Barack and Michelle Obama to monkeys.

I see why he won his election in Ky. More of those "very fine people"

 

[Commodus]

While it sounds like he committed a pretty vile act, I can't help but feel sad -- his family was likely already going through enough pain, and you'd hope he would strive for redemption rather than the easy way out.

Could it have been that the police investigated the charges and found no evidence or reason to pursue them? Perhaps the man was innocent? He was never proven guilty. Now he's dead. Congratulations, you've got a dead innocent man on your hands. Maybe you can dig him up and give him a fair trial before you declare him guilty and hang him.

Ahh I get it now, if there's an (R) after they're name they're presumed innocent. Because you said right there (see highlighted section) that he is innocent. Not presumed, not possibly, but flat out not guilty, aka, innocent.
Where did you come about your findings, Mr. Darrow? And how many innocent people commit suicide to face a trial? I am NOT saying he is guilty, I doubt we'll ever know, but we do know he refused to talk about it.
I wonder where the waterboy would be siding if the alleged perp had a (D) after his name..hmmmm

I believe you found one Bill Clinton guilty of rape without a trial.

Chalk one up for the flaming hypocrite

I kinda hate to tell you this, but in this country you are presumed innocent until "proven" guilty. There was a police investigation at the time accusations were made. Was he proven guilty? Was he? No.

I'm happy to see it go to trial. I'll wait.

So you didn't read all the way through on my post, sorry for putting together so many words, didn't mean to stump you with such a long diatribe.

That whole "innocent until proven guilty" apparently only applies when it's Republicans being accused...right?

Hillary Clinton was never convicted in a court of law for any of the shit you and your ilk have been clamoring about for years..."LOCK HER UP!" has been the war cry of the right...and without any conviction...

Consider - in general the people who pursue political position are people who desire power and control. That type of person is prone to other issues....

And the guy chanting it the loudest has been indicted. It seems that many of those in House wanting to pursue the Clinton stuff are hiding their own shit. Anything they say about someone else's alleged crimes should first and always be suspect. I bet they'd sooner face their own indictments before Hillary ever will ya know because she's been under investigation in some way or other many times yet she has never been indicted.

In my experience there are very few 'good hearted' people who have enough drive, ruthlessness, and general unpleasantness to achieve positions of leadership.

 

[KMFJD]

Ah yes this fine fellow who has been accused of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl at a New Year’s Eve party while he was acting as her preacher.

[interchange]

A man took his own life and left a family behind. That same man is plausibly accused of sexual assault. I believe we must reconcile the apparent contradictions and integrate the good and bad in our image of others when we judge them. If we either side with the denial of evil because it cannot be proven by physical evidence or side with the denial of humanity because of the existence of a violating act, we serve only to promote the culture of shame. That is the culture which keeps these things happening and keeps them suppressed by both victim and perpetrator.
