Roy Moore voter tells Vice how parents used to be thrilled if a DA hit on their 14-year-old

[kpete]

In a panel discussion of Alabama voters discussing GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore, one man contended that their state was a “different world” when the former judge’s accusers claimed he dated them when they were teens and he in his 30’s.

“Forty years ago in Alabama, it was a different world,” one man said in a documentary by Vice News Tonight, claiming his grandmother was married at 13 and had children and a job by age 15.

“If Roy Moore was guilty,” he continued, “forty years ago in Alabama, there’s a lot of mamas and daddies that’d be thrilled that their 14-year-old was getting hit on by a district attorney.”

4. Why do I hear Bobbie Gentry singing

"Just be nice to the gentlemen, Fancy, and they'll be nice to you."?

I grew up in the 50's and 60's. I wasn't in Alabama, but a 30 year old man dating teenaged girls was not the norm and would have been frowned upon, even if he had asked the mother's permission first. I find it hard to imagine that it was considered OK in Alabama in the 70's.

5. More likely they would be breaking out the shotgun.

roy Moore wasn't asking for the 14 year old's hand in marriage, he was secretly meeting with her.

7. Cultural clashes that need to be exposed, because, damn. People who believe in this

way AND believe they have superiority based on race is just, well, damn.

11. This is precisely why I utterly despise the morals and values crowd.

They like to think they are morally superior to those who don't share their exact values, and that they take the Bible literally, but these people exhibit all the worst qualities of man. It's insane. They need to be exposed.

He would be finding my steel toed boot in his ass! What is wrong with these people?
