Bill Cosby.

[king]

30 years later All these women coming out of nowhere accusing him of rape..

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Them hush money checks must have stopped rolling in.

Herman Cain part II.  I wonder who inspired this? Hmmmm

[bullets13]

Herman Cain part II.  I wonder who inspired this? Hmmmm

or maybe he did it?

[TxHoops]

Don't judge me but I heard a clip on the Howard Stern show from several years ago ('07 I think) where Janice Dickinson was promoting a book. She had written something about Cosby but the publisher cut it and she was instructed not to talk about it.

[stevenash]

or maybe he did it?

Yes, maybe he did it and maybe not.  Just curious why this is all of a sudden becoming an issue.  Why not in closer to proximity to the time of the "alleged" incidents?  I wonder if we will hear that he bullied a kid 50 years  ago in high school or that he left a dog on the top of the roof of his car.  These "gems" give true insight to what a person is really all about, don't they?

[bullets13]

i think it's possible that he had a pattern of doing this, and one person coming forward gave others the courage to come forward.  honestly, it would be a hard sell to say things like this about Bill Cosby.  But if several say it, it lends it credence.  But it could be a money grab as well.  it's going to be hard to prove anything this long after it allegedly happened.

[baddog]

Only four people know what happened. I find it curious that all the women described their ordeal with the same M.O. All were drugged.

That could very well be true.

 

I am not sure what the current stats are but I know that years ago when I went to a few schools to investigate sexual assaults, it was believed that only 1 in 8 assaults were ever reported. Some of those were not reported for several years. 

 

Let's not forget in the fairly recent past that we found out that a lot of members of the clergy were assaulting thousands of kids across the country and when it finally started going public, many kids came out maybe up to 20 years later. The Catholic church caught much of the heat but that was only publicly. They were not alone and I investigated and got convictions on other churches. 

 

There wasn't a lot of people rushing out to condemn the children that were assaulted and I think a lot of people were calling for the heads of many priests and other clergymen. Change it around to a celebrity and people are drawing sides based probably on their like or dislike of the parties involved.

 

Did Cosby use his status and money to assault women? Are the women trying for a money play?

 

I say toss a coin as both are good options but when unrelated victims start giving similar stories, in police work we call that a clue. I have no idea in this case what the accusations are so we will wait and see.

Its easy to give a similar story when you have heard the other stories, duh.......

[shovel]

This is an interesting take on the matter,

How is it easy?

[mat]

I find it strange there has been no response from the Cosby camp. I think that says a lot.

[king]

There has now been 8 women that accused him now! Wow.

[tvc184]

There has now been 8 women that accused him now! Wow.

 

They are all probably just giving similar stories...............  :rolleyes:

 

 

:D

[tvc184]

............ and one of them is about to marry Charles Manson but isn't getting enough press from that so is now claiming a Bill Cosby incident. 

[bullets13]

What do Joan Rivers and Robin Williams have in common?

 

Both are having a better year than Bill Cosby.

I can't post it on here but sarah Silverman had a Bill Cosby tweet yesterday that was hysterical.

[new tobie]

Word on the street is that Bill drugged these women with JELLO shots

[westend1]

But wait....Isnt he a big conservative?

[stevenash]

Of course he is conservative. That's not hard to tell. These "delayed" issues frequently arise for conservatives. As I said earlier, very similar to the Herman Cain incident. Hmmm- is this just a coincidence or is something/someone making these "coincidences" suddenly rear their ugly heads many years after they allegedly took place?

[stevenash]

Word on the street also is that if you are an adult and taking jello shots, you are VERY aware that there is a good chance you will lose control.

As the classic jello commercials reference goes flying over his head ;)

[TxHoops]

On the contrary, he is quite liberal with his administration of roofies...

[thetragichippy]

This is not an attack on conservatism.....

 

This is accusations of truth or about money......we will have to see how this all plays out.....

 

and NewTobie, refreshing to see you throwing some humor into your post!

 

And while this may may all be about money, it sure is strange he surrounded himself with children....
