Will they prosecute all the women who willingly traded their bodies for parts in his productions?

Who can say? He wasn’t protected by anyone in the black community because he was critical of black culture for all its single parent families, so maybe he was offered as a sacrifice or something. In contrast, look at Michael Jackson. He was a pedophile. The servants said kids would run around the mansion during the day, drunk on “Jesus juice” as Michael called it. He even admitted he would sleep with them at night and no one did a thing about it. When he was officially charged by one of the kids the whole black community and the Nation of Islam came to his defense, and he got off scott free. So being part of the system matters.

Hey, I’m not saying that is not possible.

Same thing happened to my mother on a trip to CA in the ‘40s, with a revered doctor who was traveling with the family.

Thank God it was only “inappropriate” - but yes she didn’t like how this “stranger” was sidling up to her in the pool, etc. Kinda like Biden. Mom did not say anything to her parents. (Her father would’ve socked him good - he adored my mom; was his favorite.)

Anyway yes, it’s possible, I just think SIXTY people not ever speaking up is pretty unlikely.

It gets to be almost like the 9/11 “inside job” theories - how can all those people keep their mouths shut even accidentally?

“Maybe that was who he wished he could be if he weren’t so mentally ill,” Valentino continued. “

We’ve got to stop them “mentally ill “ crap. Mentally ill means you don’t know right from wrong. Cosby clearly knew right from wrong.

however you feel, if it did not happen to you, you don’t know how /what you would have done.

“...if we choose to label as sick people who are just evil.”

Yes, I believe so. It’s part of the leftist mindset.

To wit, I believe pedophiles and rapists are all just plain evil, because their sexual lust is an impulsive desire that they know is wrong, yet they do it anyway and their friends on the left bend over backwards attempting to mitigate the severity of it or ignore it entirely, which is just plain evil.

Furthermore, regarding transsexuals, if a man wants to cut off his left arm because he is right handed and doesn’t think he needs it he is committed to a mental hospital against his will because he is deemed insane. However if a man wants to cut off his junk because he wants to be a woman, we appoint aAsst Secretary of Health and make him an Admiral.

Sounds legit to me. 🤔🤫

They did a lot of things a normal person wouldn’t do to get movie and tv roles.

But happening to any of us doesn’t make other claims true.

Or at least, not true as in “without consent”.

Actually I don’t have a problem calling people “mental”.

The PROBLEM is how it is approached. If someone does something criminal, though they are “ill”, it’s STILL a crime and should be treated as such.

As has been said, many mental patients/retarded people/emotionally disturbed people NEVER do anything bad or criminal.

Let them all be in institutions as needed. If one does something criminal - treat them as criminals.

My theory is that Cosby started saying of a few things about self reliance that were Bucking the democrat line.

Set 1 foot off the Plantation and see what happens.

i tend to think it happened without consent but you are entitled to your opinion.

I think Cosby should get credit for the “illusion of America’s Dad”. It was a very positive image of a loving father. Whether he was acting or not, he held up an ideal that others could emulate. With the help of screen writers and producers, etc.

That doesn’t excuse him for committing crimes. And while I think he committed the crimes, I doubt any woman who agreed to be alone with him or take the anti-histamines or other drugs he offered is completely blameless. Especially the ones that met him at the Playboy mansion.

You are probably on to something. The Democrats do not forgive. They don’t forget. They just file it away for use when it suits their purpose. And he [Cosby] did say some things that the Democrats were not fond of [I can’t recall them now]. But after that was when his troubles started.

Also sometimes when bad things happen you have no proof.

So what can you say.

You know it happened but can’t prove it. In this case you went away with him willingly. You were flattered. You drank some poison. You lost consciousness. Even on FR we have “conservatives” saying it is your fault for going to a hotel suite and having a drink.

Were I an aspiring actress and had a chance to visit with Cosby or someone big I would have taken it. That doesn’t mean I am down to be raped or even have consensual sex. These men travel. They are in hotel suites. It’s not motel 6 for heaven’s sakes.

But look how some ON FR talk about them. They were just hos who had it coming see? And you wonder why we don’t come forward.

oh yeah, many men and sadly some women on this site think that there’s no such thing as rape, just misbehaving women.
My middle finger in their general direction-

Why did it take so long for ANY of these MULTITUDE of “victims” to speak up?

A lot of them spoke up for years. The correct question is, why did it take prosecutors so long to believe them and do something about it?
