Cosby to be arraigned for sexual assault in 15 minutes,

[MoonRiver]

The long awaited perp walk for this predator is finally here!

[MoonRiver]

1. Charge is aggravated indecent assault.

Fortunately still within the statute of limitations

[ismnotwasm]

2. Good

I think of how untouchable he was, and how much harm he caused--continues to cause, as his persona of a good man covered his real face. People looked up to him, admired him, quoted him.

And he was a lie.

[RKP5637]

3. This guy made such a habit of it all. And one time I thought of him as a good guy. Some

of my friends told me a long time ago he was a creep, and I listened and learned.

[MoonRiver]

4. Until these charges I had no idea.

Hoping at least one of his victims gets justice.

[RKP5637]

16. I'm glad to see him get nailed. I guess I could see something happening possibly once and then

the victim saying well they thought maybe it was somehow consensual and not a minor, but this guy is a predator. Even once is too many in my book. What, something like 35 women is it? He's also ugly, no wonder he drugged them. Really a gross character.

[MoonRiver]

19. I think the number is close to 50

Makes me sick that people like Cosby and the affluenza kid can keep avoiding accountability.

[RKP5637]

20. Same here, there is way too much of that in the US. We have a selective justice system. I

often think about the poor people that get thrown into jail to provide profits to the prison industrial system. Kids that get caught with a tiny bit of pot and thrown at them horrendous sentences.

Others that get killed for being the wrong color. Wall street types that injure millions of people that just go off scott free for the most part. And crooked judges. Fortunately, we have way better communications today so a lot of this crap gets exposed. I do have to admit, it gets damn depressing.

I was talking with one of my professors about things a long time ago, and as he said, if you have money in the US often you do as you damn please, and we both thought that was a sad state of affairs.

In many ways, things haven't changed much, but hopefully better communications of today helps some. Maybe one day it will get more equitable, but I'm not going to hold my breathe on that one.

5. I heard about him years ago...

A friend of mine was the facility manager and technical director at a venue BC performed at over 30 years ago. She didn't mention any sexual related issues but said he was a total jerk backstage and this was a consensus of all the folks working there who had any interactions with him...I believed her then and more so now....

[MoonRiver]

6. Allred speaking now about the other victims.

The 15 y/o may have a chance at justice.

[Hotler]

7. They had enough evidence to arraign Bill, but...

they found nothing to arraign the Wall St. bankers.

[MoonRiver]

8. Uh, thanks for kicking my thread.

[Hotler]

11. Nothing personal....

I'm just still pissed that Wall St. walked free while millions suffered.

[MoonRiver]

15. Well, at lt least a scumbag of a different persuasion has been brought to justice.

Whether justice will serve his victim(s) is another matter.

[clarice]

17. The wall street bankers weren't POTUS. nt

[pintobean]

9. Good. K&R /nt

[ChisolmTrailDem]

10. He just exited the court and drove away. So, where was the stop at jail? ETA:

Looks like they escorted him to the police station in Elkins Park, PA.

[roguevalley]

12. tmz has the mug shot

he has a million dollar bail and had to turn over his passport.

[Warpy]

27. Glad to hear that

He really needs to be off the street, if possible. Even at his age, he's still a danger to girls and women.

[Rex]

13. Wow, I wondered if he would ever have to face his victims in court.

Was looking like he would not.

[lpbk2713]

14. Cosby has probably spent Millions of $$$ ...

in legal defense, strategizing and general damage control.

And he has only scratched the surface with no return on his investment.

I love it.

[lindysalsagal]

18. He appears distraught to the point of near incapacitation.

In other words, my teacher radar sees guilt and immobilizing panic on his face.

That's not the confident man who knows he's innocent. That's not how you look when you know it will be an ordeal, but you'll eventually win.

I think I' m seeing him face the end of his life. He knows his life is over, and he'll lose everything and everyone, including his family.

I wouldn't be surprised if he overdosed on rx meds in the next week. He looks like a man with nothing to live for.

Some justice for victims. Wish I could hope that this would provide some warning to future predators, but it won't. Men like him think they're entitled to use women as property.

[RKP5637]

21. I noticed that too. He knows it's over. He looked dazed with it all and certainly not bold acting

in the least. I was wondering too if he might take his life.

Yep, individuals such as he feel a sense of entitlement, privilege and do as you damn wish. And his wealth IMO even made him more that way, a feeling of immunity and omnipotence.

It really is a sickness. He just can't feel/see the evilness in what he has done, and over and over again. Definitely, they see women as an object, a thing to be used as they see fit.

I would think he and his wife have a rather strange psychological relationship. It's all so damn creepy!

[tblue37]

22. I am thinking heart attack, stroke, or Paterno-like cancer because of stress suppressing

his immune system.

[Hekate]

24. I hope you are right. On the other hand, he is one heck of an actor and had the nation fooled...

...for decades.

[mountain grammy]

23. I liked the man, I thought he was funny..

he's a rapist, an abuser of women, the lowest of the low. a cockroach.

[Hekate]

26. You and me both. I loved his amiable persona,but that's all it was. His greatest role as an actor...

...was acting the beloved good guy offstage.

[Hekate]

25. I knew they would eventually find someone who was a minor when assaulted, from a state....

...with no statute of limitations on sex crimes against minors. He was just too persistent and confident a predator for that not to have happened, and repeatedly.

FINALLY.

[7wo7rees]

29. +1000 Finally!!!

May there please be some small degree of justice, just please this time. How many more women have to come forward?

[Brickbat]

28. Mills of justice, slow but fine, etc.

Love it.

30. Bill Cosby was a hero of mine when I was younger

During my childhood, I grew up watching The Cosby Show on a weekly basis. I loved Bill Cosby, took time out to see a movie or a show if he was in it, looked up to him.

Now I'm just really disappointed in, disgusted with and angry at him. His mask has slipped off and he has been revealed for what he really is and I'm ashamed I was conned by him for all these years. It feels like a very deep and personal betrayal and it hurts

I feel immensely sorry for all his poor victims who went through such an ordeal. To have experienced such a painful and traumatic ordeal and then to live with it for all these years afterward while this sick, perverted man continued to get feted and acclaimed, no doubt undoubtedly smug in the belief that he was too famous to get caught. I hope they are able to get some justice, some comfort, some healing

I'm glad Cosby has been exposed for what he is while he's still alive. Even with the ever-present possibility that he won't be convicted on this particular charge, at least he'll live for the rest of his life exposed for what he is. I remain so infuriated that Jimmy Saville went to his grave in the UK smugly knowing he'd got away with his vile, perverted actions and still being lauded as a great entertainer and humanitarian. At least Cosby won't have that distinction

And remember all those years he spent self-righteously lecturing the African-American community on its faults? All the while knowing what he'd done and thinking he'd gotten away with it

Ugh! I'm not sure I can even coherently summarize my thoughts on this
