Sad to die in a crash, but the reality of the individual is not obscured by a tragic death, and shouldn’t be.
Much the same has been said of Trump. Are you going to indict him too? Or do you only take issue retired black athletes who ride helicopters into the side of mountains?
Larry Bird and Magic Johnson’s NBA...that was the days...Stockton, the Mailman, Jordan.. Not a fan today...I saw a game on TV a few days ago...travelling is not called, miss dunks and 3 points shots that miss everything...no thanks, give me hockey...or NASCAR!!!
Nope. Not true.
Maybe I haven’t kept up with the story. I had understood that the bird and the pilot were both instrument capable, but it was quicker to go under visibility and so someone presumably chose that shortcut?
Oh, sorry, now I see the separate thread to the contrary...
So true.
Wow, who’d have thought you’d be bullied as a racist here for not fawning over an over-hyped athlete for whom it was apparently ok for him to:
Rape a girl
Endorse kneeling
Bash Trump as divisive (but it’s ok, it was in 2017)
Absolutely amazing.
It’s getting to be like 2016 again with the intolerant #neverTrumpers here.
They MUST be defeated again in November.
You can disagree with a person’s politics but still look at the evidence and conclude that person wasn’t guilty of a crime.
“You can disagree with a person’s politics but still look at the evidence and conclude that person wasn’t guilty of a crime.”
Or conclude that despite his politics, he WAS guilty of a crime, which should be just as respected here, right?
Of course, if the DNA evidence and witness accounts support the accusation.
In this case, the accusation was not credible.
By the way, that thread I linked is from 16 years ago (2004).
But it contains information about the DNA evidence.
Give it a rest, pal. There are criminal facts regarding his rapes... and multiple claims. The one that he settled for millions was DNA proven, and he confessed in the settlement.
The Trump accusations are a long string of gold digging and whacked people, again, all provable.
Black athlete has nothing to do with it, and my observations are as a forensics clinician.
Absolutely true— you are not familiar with the case.
The two individuals are “virtue signalling” crapola about race that is not what was said.
What was said was clinical diagnostics, criminal forensics, profiling and certified lab results of DNA testing that drove the perp (I don’t give a damn what the person is as earning a living), to confess to the act, and to settle and make a huge payment, as well as a confession including a description of his favourite “mode” of dominance and what is euphemistically called “rough sex”. The advantage of this one accuser was wealth and effective legal representation.
It’s a different world when one sees the dead, delivered at the hands of seriously perverted people. Again, do not care one whit what they do for a living or their race. It is a given that professional sports celebrities start to believe in their “extra specialness” like rock stars or even elite monarchic royalty. Everybody goes out feet first.
Kobe Bryant is a Democrat? Thanks for the breaking news there.
Yes, there are criminal facts here. The facts of the criminal case are that Bryant was never charged with a crime. Given that I can only conclude your real issue with Bryant is either his politics or his race. I’ll be charitable and assign the obvious bias displayed here is due to his politics.
Good luck with the facts of that case. These celebrity deaths always bring out the bigots and the cranks.
The only fact the DNA evidence supports is that the accuser had sex with another man in the hours between the alleged rape and her hospital exam.
Where did I make "race" an issue on this thread?
Answer: I didn't.
