Kobe Bryant Charged with 1 count of class 3 sexual assault!!

(4 to life)

[SoCal Pubbie]

You're not making any sense now. From the moment OJ was charged, through the slow speed chase, through the acquittal, I was convinced OJ was guilty. Do you understand now?

[cyncooper]

I'm tired of explaining this.

Oh, well. I think I didn't understand what you are saying but I did.

[Howlin]

I didn't say not charge him; I merely pointed out that you have no idea what the real story here is.

[chachacha]

Yes, how about you?

[mhking]

Here's the magic question: Does he lose his endorsement deals now or later?

[G-Bob]

Damn, now I remember why I don't gamble anymore.

[cinFLA]

I'm being attacked for no reason. I tried to give my point of view and only end up being attacked. I'm leaving this thread, it's just not a place I should be. People don't understand.

Just for the record I post your statement. No reason?

"These athletes and men in general think they can harm women."

[Howlin]

and the DA has enough evidence to charge him with rape

No, the DA has a woman who is saying she was raped and he's putting it to a jury. That's ALL we know.

[Howlin]

I am not presumptious enough to make that kind of judgment; perhaps you are.

[cinFLA]

From the moment OJ was charged, through the slow speed chase,

You knew about his tendency to violence then?

[AmericanInTokyo]

Or, perhaps more importantly, is there a California Highway Patrol BOLO alert on all SoCal freeways this afternoon for a speeding white bronco?

[techcor]

I did know what happened when the police arrived to question him which is all I reported. I never even said whether I personally thought he was guilty. Only that he had to be charged considering the evidence and his confession of having had sex with the woman. You don't like knowing what's going on behind the scenes?

[swheats]

LOL

[Mr. Mojo]

I know that seems strange, but having heard even the worst lyrics, I've never heard a glorification of rape.

Dude, are you joking? Violence against women is one of the major themes of "hard" rap "music." I'd imagine a quick Google search would yield countless examples.

[cinFLA]

No, the DA has a woman who is saying she was raped and he's putting it to a jury. That's ALL we know.

I think we know a litte more than that. We know that he no longer has a squeaky clean image. We know that he has at least committed adultery. We know that the DA would NOT have filed charges based just on the her saying she was raped. We know that whatever, KB is cooked. We know this does not help the image of the NBA. We know that the Laker's management is very glad they just signed two all-stars.

[Howlin]

Not if it convicts an innocent man or smears an honest victim.

[Howlin]

And we know that you seem overjoyed by all of that.

[my right]

If you don't like it, CLICK ON BY.

read the last sentence in my post

[chachacha]

Sorry to hear that.

Maybe you can convince him when you see him that you had the right one all along and were just kidding with chachacha.
