Cosby to lecture on how to get away with it
Bill Cosby is planning a series of town hall meetings this summer to educate people, including young athletes and married men, on how to avoid accusations of sexual assault, two of his representatives said Wednesday.
Threats? Bribery? An excellent media strategy? Rohipnol?
“This issue is bigger than Bill Cosby,” his representative Andrew Wyatt said on “Good Day Alabama,” a show on WBRC Fox 6 in Birmingham.
“This issue can affect any young person — especially young athletes of today,” he continued, “and they need to know what they are facing when they are hanging out and partying, when they are doing certain things they shouldn’t be doing.” Mr. Wyatt said the issue “also affects married men.”
Right? It can mess up their whole lives for a month or two. It’s tragic. Women are such bitches. Why can’t they just spread their legs and shut the fuck up?
The Cosby announcement drew immediate rebukes from several quarters, including the anti-sexual violence organization RAINN.
“It would be more useful if Mr. Cosby would spend time talking with people about how not to commit sexual assault in the first place,” said Jodi Omear, an organization spokeswoman.
Oh don’t be silly. It’s a man’s right to grab some pussy if he can get away with it. The point is to get away with it. Cosby’s doing a public service explaining it to them.
One of the town halls will be held in Alabama in July, Mr. Wyatt said on the show. In a later email, he said Mr. Cosby had received “hundreds of calls from civic organizations and churches requesting for Mr. Cosby to speak to young men and women about the judicial system.” He said the program would include a critique of the decision by prosecutors in Pennsylvania to charge him last year.
Because the whole point is to get away with it.
Mr. Cosby later thanked the television station for having his publicists on the show. He is currently free on bail while he awaits a retrial of the criminal case in which he is charged with three counts of aggravated indecent assault in connection with a 2004 encounter with a woman at his home outside Philadelphia. The woman, Andrea Constand, says Mr. Cosby drugged and assaulted her.
Mr. Cosby and his lawyers say the sex was consensual.
Plus it was 2004 so he got away with it so the decision to charge him was deeply wicked.
The jury deliberated for 52 hours before a mistrial was declared because jurors were hopelessly deadlocked. On Thursday, The Associated Press and a Pittsburgh television station reported that jurors it spoke to had said the panel ended its deliberations almost evenly split between those supporting conviction and acquittal.
That depiction was at odds with that of a juror who spoke to ABC News earlier in the week and had said that 10 members of the panel had voted to convict Mr. Cosby but were unable to persuade two jurors who would not budge.
Some jurors were concerned about the 10-year delay in prosecuting Mr. Cosby, and that politics had been involved, The A.P. reported.
WPXI Channel 11 in Pittsburgh played a recording of a man it said was a juror who said the voting was evenly split.
“Whatever the man did, he has already paid his price, paid, suffered,” the voice in the recording said. “A case that was settled in ’05 and we had to bring it up in ’17.”
Such a long time after he got away with it.
How unsurprising to see churches making that request. Obviously not all churches are the same, but it’s nice to see this demonstration of where biblical morality can lead people: boys will be boys, men need to sow their oats etc. but these gosh darn legal issues sure are temporarily troublesome. Please teach us how to have an easier time after the fact.
OJ 2.0? Its possible that Cosby is vain enough to feel that.
And the ‘advice?’ Don’t stuff ’em with pills, people notice that. Just use alcohol and everyone will shrug it off.
