It wasn't *just* a technicality, it was a deal with the old DA. The Pennsylvania justice system really fucked up.
(Disclaimer: Cosby should be behind bars, absolutely.)
But the justice system has rules for a reason, and if they were dumb enough to get an admission out of him years ago in exchange for whatever they wanted from him then, and the terms of the deal are that they now can't try him for those particular crimes, legally they cannot use the testimony he gave under that deal for the trial he was convicted at.
So not only did they botch justice once, by making sure he wasn't tried then, but twice by going through with the trial and conviction in ignorance, resulting in him being back out on the street, now.
Stuff like this is why I have little to no faith in the law in America.

Unfortunately but like I said I take solace in the fact that his reputation is forever tarnished and that whatever retribution he deserves will eventually get him, I hope he rots and his last years on Earth will be painful.

He didn't *just* admit it then, he also basically confessed on Larry King to drugging women for sex (which is rape BTW):



But good to know his reputation is forever tarnished. Now if only justice will prevail for Scamber Turd, I won't be seeing Aqua Man 2 in theaters because of her.

You made me remember this idiot on Twitter saying her punishment should be making porn movies and giving the money to Johnny Deep and he seriously thought that was justice.

The only thing she should ever be allowed to film again is from the inside of a prison cell, especially now that we have bodycam evidence that she lied under oath.

You know, like the gazillion other things she's been caught lying about.

Well... except for two very important distinctions: 1) that comments made in a Larry King interview don't hold nearly the same weight as testimony given under oath in a court of law, and 2) that the soundbite version of the interview you linked ignores the context, that Cosby was describing a bit he'd been doing for close to 30 years. Yes, it's obviously disgusting (much more so now that so many allegations have been made against him), but what he said to King was in no way an admission of guilt or even a suggestion that he'd been drugging and raping women.

After previously shattering Canadian heat records the previous three days, the town of Lytton, British Columbia, has been almost completely destroyed in a fire that engulfed the town last night.

Can't wait to see how nothing is done to prevent this from happening again in the future.

I don't know much about Cosby but it seems the more I learn about American government and how their system works the more disgusting I find it. No offense to the American users here but the criminal justice system needs a total reworking.

The entire American government needs a reworking it over 200 years old. Doctors and the government should all meet every 50 years and change a few things up in my opinion.

That being said if Cosby had a previous Deal in place that is on the DA not necessarily the system.

GOP lawmakers in Montana and Alabama pass laws outlawing discrimination against anti-vaxxers, others following suit.

Alabama, the state that nearly elected a pedophile Congressman (!) not too long ago now wants to do everything in their power to keep the fucking virus alive and rampant. And unsurprisingly, other red states are following suit. Their hypocrisy and Tomfoolery knows no bounds. God bless the Colorado baker for refusing to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple, but God forbid we let businesses protect their workforce and customers!

If the stupid people making stupid decisions only affected the stupid people, I'd say let 'em knock themselves out (which they literally are), but that's just not the case.

Too bad Covid didn’t kill off those moronic fucking lawmakers when it had the chance. Fucking christ, you idiots. Ugh.

I'm sorry, mods, I don't mean to get aggressive; but fucking hell, this is beyond infuriating...

These yahoos have passed legislation against transgender women in how many states? Falsely casting them as dangerous predators trying to sneak into bathrooms. Meanwhile, Covid is a dangerous pandemic that has killed more than 600 thousand Americans!

It DID kill off an anti-vaxxer nurse, though.

I'm trying, but I'm finding it REALLY hard to feel bad for these idiots. And to think some of them are (or should I say, were) healthcare workers and government officials. :mad:

As crazy as it is we have always had anti vaxers. This election being stolen nonsense is crazy.

I find it fucking stupid to say the virus should have killed anyone. And for this to go without a warning is hypocrisy at it's finest.

Fine for me but not for thee.

And yet people wonder about the liberal hypocrites, but no, no let me just apologize for saying what I said and all is forgiven. Sorry for saying the virus should have killed someone that doesn't fit in my point of view or politics or beliefs.

Angry or not wishing death on someone should garner warnings right?

Also, let me find that article about someone dying because I want to prove a political point....never mind if she was a mother, a daughter, an aunt, a sister, or niece to someone no, no.....she's fair game and mock her death.

Disgusting trash I say

This isn’t about politics or sides anymore, goji89. This is about lawmakers putting countless immunocompromised people in danger by preventing business from “discriminating” against anti-vaxxers. This, after Covid has already killed off 600 Americans. At that point it doesn’t matter if you’re conservative, liberal, centrist, fascist, or communist. You as a lawmaker are sacrificing human lives to appease a vocal crowd of idiots. You are placing innocent people in danger. You are responsible for their deaths. And people WILL die as a result of this.

Mocking anyone's death is fucking uncool. KMan, enjoy your warning, we've talked about this before. Goji, this is a verbal to lay off the tone, or else it's a real one.


To everyone, just stop making this a political excuse to yell at each other already. People are dying, guys.

Added in 3 minutes 8 seconds:
Actually, with the big 5 warnings, I'm afraid to announce we won't be hearing ANYTHING from KMan this month.

Learn from his example.

While what Kmax did was in poor taste but he didn't mock anyone's death and he apologized for his behavior. We all have done stupid shit when we're emotional.
