Go buy a ticket to your hero’s next show.

Not a hero. Just innocent until proven guilty. It's an American thing - you wouldn't understand.

At some point we can draw conclusions.

For example, I have concluded that legally-acquitted OJ Simpson murdered two people.

It's a thinking thing - you wouldn't understand.

“Not a hero. Just innocent until proven guilty. It’s an American thing - you wouldn’t understand. “

Innocent? If you believe that, you’re smoking some heavy weed. Just look at all the money he’s spent paying some of these women off ( and the others who were involved with their “procurement”) and on lawyers. A decent man would not have to do that!
BTW, when the dust settles, I hope they jackhammer his “star” off of the “walk of fame.” Otherwise it’s simply a “walk of shame.”

Not quite. Clever and/or powerful people have successfully conned the legal system in the past (eg Teddy Kennedy), and such people continue to con the legal system today. Maybe Cosby is one of that elite group. Cosby might be a kind of legal zombie, innocent yet guilty in the moral sense even though not in the legal sense because he might actually have done some of the things he is accused of, but nevertheless free to walk among us unrestrained and unpunished, on technicalities.

I think it is important to keep an awareness that such people exist and to identify them as potentially negative and harmful people on pragmatic grounds. you never know who you might get trapped in an elevator or subway car with— the same goes for your family members and good friends. if and when that happens, you or your family members or good friends should be on guard.

>> Just innocent until proven guilty

Exactly.

Certainly the allegations are alarming, but worse is the emotional trial that already has Cosby hanged without due process.
