The guy sounds like he was crazy. His life story was filled with embellishments and outright fabrications — including a zany claim that he was the White House chaplain for three presidents (there is no such position).

The accusation is enough to require proof of innocence in our Progressive system of hyper-sexualizing girls and then making criminals of men who notice. He took the only solution to making this problem go away.

Yep, the Emma Sulkowicz MUST be brought back to the forefront to hopefully tap the brakes on the hysteria so that we can sort thru the truth.
Hang sexual predators in the town square, hang those who falsely accuse people of sexual predation next to them.

Hope the ‘journalist” is real damn pleased with himself

If the guy was a Republican it'll be high-fives all around the press room.

He said he had PTSD. If he issues already, this pushed him over the edge. It’s either he did it due to guilt OR it’s either he did it because he couldn’t deal with people thinking he did something he didn’t do. Either way, sad for his family. Suicide is never the answer. He has a wife, five children, and nine grandchildren. They will suffer from this decision for the rest of their lives.

We really have entered a new dark age, no different from the Salem Witch Trials.

That's an excellent observation. Shows that we haven't progressed much in 400 years.

Exaggerated at best.

And then oh, woe the devil has won.

Sometimes we just need to get out of his party.

The religion has changed, its abuses are quite similar.

He also claimed more than once that he ran a morgue at Ground Zero following the 9/11 terror attacks and watched the second plane crash into the World Trade Center. No one from the medical examiner’s office remembered Johnson at the scene.

A quick question.

Why do some people go NUTS when I bring up the need for bringing back wearing modest clothing by women?

Thank-you.

If you were unjustly accused of a crime, what would your reaction be?

99% of the people would proclaim their innocence. If I am going to be accused of a crime, I want it to be a crime with no evidence supporting it.
Remember, Bill Clinton was 100% completely innocent of having sex with Monica until the blew dress came out.

Was there a crime? It does not matter these days. Any extenuating circumstance will be spun as “blaming the victim”.

If he were a Republican, it would be part of his name. Perhaps we should assume that this sort of thing is normal for Democrats, but normal for Republicans, like a man biting a dog.

I guess the guilt was too much. How do you know he was guilty. Please provide support.

PTSD is so tragic makes people unable to cope with minor things much less something like this. Sad. If he wasn’t guilty hope this accuser has PTSD for life due to her guilt in helping cause this.

Human nature hasn't changed one iota since Cain slew Abel.
