Lena Dunham Blasts ‘Legal System’ After Cosby Mistrial
NBC Bay Area ^ | June 17, 2017 | Melkorka Licea

Twitter erupted with an array of disgusted and supportive posts about Bill Cosby‘s mistrial on Saturday after a judge declared a mistrial in the bombshell sexual assault case.

“Try him again. #CosbyTrial. Heart goes out to the women who came forward,” blasted comedian Kristen Schaal, 39, who plays the voice of Louise Belcher in FOX comedy “Bob’s Burgers.” “Without that courage there will be more victims. Serial rapist.”

“Girls” creator Lena Dunham, 31, was quick to express repugnance for the outcome: “Bill Cosby’s trial is about much more than Bill Cosby. When women see justice served, their own fear & trauma are eased.”

With our media always looking for the progressive PC version of events they’ve really found themselves in a corner on this

Ask Lena Dumbroad if she supports Planned Barrenhood providing abortions for underaged girls without parents consent. There’s her REAL position on rape.

Maybe for actually prosecuting the case, but I think you should have to report the rape contemporaneously. None of this "me too, he raped me 3 years ago".

Exactly! Or, if an individual achieves fame and/or political status after many years, it's just too easy to concoct a "rape" story which may not be proven, but will be held over the accused's head regardless.

Happened to Herman Cain, too. And Clarence Thomas, of course. Once you begin rocking that gravy train that Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton ride on, here come the “ladies.”

Cosby was taken out because he strayed from the liberal plantation. He started questioning why the education system was failing blacks...

Exactly!

I did until he tipped his seething racial hate card.

Bull. Post some examples of Cosby spewing racist hate. Even back in the 60s and 70s he wasn't into it. In his stand-up routines, he never swore. The guy would make an arrow look crooked.

I don’t think the government had a compelling case.

That is also my impression. It doesn't mean he didn't do it, but the convincing evidence, after so long, just couldn't be marshalled.

Does anyone know what the guilty, not guilty count was?

The vile Lena Dunham is obviously a white crackah racist.

Cosby was taken out because he strayed from the liberal plantation. He started questioning why the education system was failing blacks in the inner-cities. Why there were no fathers and why kids were spending $200 on sneakers.

You're exactly right on that point."Progressives" didn't want anyone,particularly an "Uncle Tom",demanding that black yutes pull up their pants,speak English properly and take responsibility for their kids.

Don't know and don't care if the allegations against him are true or not.

I do care if they're true.But the evidence presented by the defense claiming that the woman maintained friendly contact with Cosby for some time after the "rape"...if it's true (and I have no idea if it is)...seriously calls into question her claim.Today I am absolutely uncertain if he's guilty in this case or not.

He lost me when he dissed Rudy.

As for the other gentleman, I looked him up but I didn’t see anything about politics.

Did not know of him until now.

And this is why you report rape immediately, not forty years later.

That settles it - if Lena doesn’t like it, then I do. I cannot possibly agree with that skank.

To be honest, I do not know enough about the trial to be able to discern whether he’s guilty or not. A lot of people think it’s open-and-shut guilty, but given that none of this was brought forward until after he mentioned that the Black community might want to look at itself for part of the reason that it’s in poor shape.

Here is an example for you sugarlips.

If you can’t detect the animosity in this passive aggressive distortion of history, you just aren’t very smart.
