By now, many of you have seen the outrageous comments of Massachusetts State Representative James Fagan, a Democrat. In defending a child rapist, he would tear apart the child on the stand and ruin the child's life forever. He made the comments arrogantly and shamelessly. Watch it here.
FAGAN'S WEBSITE SHOWS HOW IS INVOLVED IN SEVERAL CHILDREN'S ORGANIZATIONS.
ORGANIZATIONS: Massachusetts Academy of Trial Lawyers; Taunton Boys & Girls Club (Board of Directors); Taunton Little League; Taunton Youth Basketball Coach; Massachusetts Bar Foundation; Massachusetts Waterfowlers, Inc.; Babe Ruth League; High School Umpire; Bristol Ducks Unlimited; Southeastern New England Area Boys' Clubs of America (past Chairman).
CONTACT INFO FOR THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUB. You might want to call as I did and ask if he is going to be removed from the board.
I called FOX 25, the station that did the story and gave them a heads up on the boys and girls club angle. In a call to Fagan's office, they had no info about whether he would remove himself or be removed by the board.
FAGAN'S OFFICE: 617-722-2040
been saying for years that pedophilia is the massachusetts state sport.
I would not be comfortable having him near my children.
Yes, and a number of other childrens’ groups, as I pointed out on the first thread.
I’d be interested in knowing if he has kids of his own who belong to these organizations, or if he is simply a predator.
He’s probably only on the board to assuage his guilt...oh, wait, guilt is a HUMAN emotion.
Sorry, Cicero, I didn’t see that info earlier. Hat tip to you for finding it. :) Pressure needs to be brought on any child’s organization with which he is affiliated.
He WOULDN’T be near my children
Give the man a prime time speaking gig at the DNC convention.
The accused have a right to face their accuser. Its in the Constitution..Oh, and its not just women who have that right, its everybody.
I believe he has 5 or 6 children. All boys
Of course, but it's fools like him that put that right in danger. He should keep his mouth shut and not make such inflammatory remarks, which only damage the important presumption of innocence that all accused should enjoy.
Face the accuser, certainly. When liberty is at stake, we all need that protection. Fagan, however, went way over the top. He was drooling at the prospect of being able, not to just defend his client, but to destroy the life of a child. That arrogant SOB has no business being around children.
He’ll get a pass. They always do.
By Fagan’s own words he does not represent the children of his district, only their accused rapists. He serves one master. He was apoplectic on that tape of his rant in the House of Reprehensibles. Too bad he didn’t keel over.
if there any viable candidate to run against him?....
the victims have rights too...
the victims have rights too...
I expect no better from a Democrat.
True. Unless they spell "potato" wrong. That sort of thing can end a politician's career.
that certainly figures....
