Kobe Bryant sexual assault reminder

Well, O.J. Simpson murdered his family and lefties still defend him to this day.

That's not true, 'lefties' never defended O.J. Simpson, I was in L.A. the day of the acquittal and trust me, there were no 'lefties' celebrating O.J. Simpson getting off scot-free. And thanks to the fame and money whore, Alan Dershowitz, he walked.
 
For soccer fans, the great Neymar pays homage to Kobe

That's stupid.

1. He didn't murder "his family." He murdered his ex-wife (most likely, 99.999% likely).

2. Almost no one defends OJ Simpson, left or right.
 
This makes no sense. What are you even talking about?

It makes perfect sense. The leftwing media only cares about sexual assault unless a black liberal Democrat does it. Then it's no problem. Witness Justin Fairfax.

Your unsubstantiated opinion is noted.
 
In July 2003 Kobe Bryant thought he could take advantage of a young latina because he was a big star and she was a low-level 19-year-old worker. This young woman took on enormous courage to accuse someone of sexual assault with a massive power imbalance. The sexual assault likely got violent as her blood was found on Kobe's shirt. She had vaginal trauma, which our slut-shaming justice system claimed was from being promiscuous.

Now back to your regularly-scheduled mourning. I wouldn't want to interrupt the Kobe dirge to talk too much bout a young woman whose life was never the same and distract from the squeaky shoes star.

You are disgusting. The guy is dead. That probably makes you happy.

NOW you've done it!

Kobe was a cheater on & off the court, and a despicable human being.

But he was a liberal darling - like his fellow alleged rapist Bill Clinton - so...

HOW DARE YOU!!!!
 
I agree it is very inappropriate to talk about this today.

In the days that follow when people comment on the legacy that Kobe left both on and off the basketball court the alleged sexual assault should be part of that discussion, because it for better or worse is part of his legacy. However today is not the day for that. Today is a day to keep the Bryant family in our thoughts while they cope with their loss.

Huh?

Is it now bad form to remind people - on a political discussion forum of all places! - that a despicable human being was despicable?

So much tut-tutting, so little time...
 
Always remember, when the left is handed a race issue, they will drop the woman issue like a hot potato. Just like they dropped Hillary in 2008 the minute 0bummer showed interest. This assault will be glossed over in the MSM's Kobe requiem.

This isn't entirely untrue.

It's also reminiscent of liberal hypocrisy regarding Obama's massive war crimes...

Definitely not allowed to say anything bad about Kobe right now, as a WaPo reporter just found out:

"The Washington Post placed a political reporter on administrative leave over tweets she sent as news of Kobe Bryant’s tragic death were still unfolding.

Post reporter Felicia Sonmez shared a 2016 story about 2003 rape allegations from The Daily Beast headlined, “Kobe Bryant’s Disturbing Rape Case: The DNA Evidence, the Accuser’s Story, and the Half-Confession,” as details of the helicopter crash were still trickling out. ..."

Another significant issue here is the danger represented to regular folk from the ruling class crashing their helicopters and/or landing their planes on highways.

Not cool.

I'm glad we have some people not afraid to call a despicable man despicable.

I hope Felicia seeks employment with a good paper and not a rag owned by the likewise despicable Jeff Bezos.

Fascinating how much liberals DESPISE free speech...

Another completely inappropriate post for this thread but I don't think you beat Mash. Congrats on staying classy.

Actually, lefties were happy to point out liberal hypocrisy and racism as Democrats & their ilk freaked out by the millions about O.J. walking.

And I haven't seen many folks defend him - some just like to point out that the case exposed how deeply racist many factions, including liberal, are in this country.

If that is what you took away from my post you either need glasses or to take a course on reading comprehension. I specifically said that his alleged sexual assault should be part of the conversation about his legacy.

Fine, but how much did you care about her yesterday? Are you thinking positively about her or merely negatively about him?

What happened with Kobe Bryant'''s sexual assault case - Los Angeles Times
Bryant, 24 at the time, was charged with one count of felony assault. It took 14 months for the criminal case to be resolved. The accuser decided she would not testify, and prosecutors dropped the case Sept. 1, 2004.

So the rape case against him was dropped but she filed a civil suit instead (lower burden of proof) and he probably paid her to go away
while claiming no wrongdoing which is what this amounted to.

Did he cheat on his wife yep. did he rape the women? doubt it.

I would not want to be a celebrity or famous person. you just have everything to lose.
all these women just throwing themselves at you regardless if you are married or not.

they don't care. they just want 1 excuse to file a lawsuit.

I feel bad for him he was a great ball player and by the sounds of it a good husband and father to his kids.
when he got out of basketball he started his own company and was doing ok with it i do believe.

I feel for the other kids and parents that were on there.
by the reports now it looks like it was weather that took the copter down.

First off you are wrong on a great many details.

1. She was not 19 she was 24.
2. She refused to testify and the rape case was dropped. She later filed a civil suit which was settled.

So he was never convicted of rape. by all accounts it was consensual and she was trying to earn a buck.
she got her settlement and for some reason she just disappeared into the air.

funny how that worked.

I had to be at that courthouse for another case and I saw a lot of people there that were supporting O.J.

They cheered when he was acquitted and judging by the color of their skin, I doubt many were republicans.
