Just saw him after his arraignment on the evening news. He looked like a deer in the headlights. He is an old man now. He got away with it for a really long time.

I wonder what his celebrity defenders think now.

He looked frail, and not as a put-on act. I always wonder whether putting people like that in jail is too cruel a form of justice - it is effectively sentencing them to die in jail. I get that justice is justice, but it somehow feels off.

He deserves 10 years in jail - at a minimum.

No one cares when it's not a famous person.

It seems cruel to put him in jail? Are you serious? He's a serial rapist. Dude deserves to rot.

I think the key this time was 1. the statute of limitations was still available - barely and 2. his longstanding/successful assertion that the sex was consensual wasn't plausible with this particular woman because she was out as a lesbian at the time. However, I don't know if anything will stick. Either his legal team is full of geniuses or they are as delusional and crazy as he and his supporters are. I never know if overly verbose attorneys are foolish or really good.

For all I know, maybe he's a rapist.

On the other hand, over the years he's been critical of the black community. I heard him say they should take some responsibility for what's happening.

I doubt that's appreciated in the black community. Is there any other famous black man of his stature who talks like that?

Pretty sure the moralistic stance while being a serial rapist is part of the great irony. This isn't about him being black nor criticizing other blacks, he was holier than thou and was quick to criticize individuals and groups while preying on women for decades[b].

The one person I've not seen emerge is a single, solitary woman that says that he did in fact help them with their career and didn't take advantage.

And PP, are you black? How do you know what is or is not appreciated by millions and millions of people? Was it decided at a meeting in the 80s?

Many blacks have said they don't appreciate his game of respectability politics. I'm not black and not the PP but give me a break. Are you black? Do you appreciate it?

The guy is a serial rapist who had no business telling blacks, whites, young, old, or anyone else how to behave. He's a criminal and needs to be punished.

I do - it bothers me every time someone is found 10, 20, 30, or more years after the most recent crime and locked up to die in jail. Like I said, justice is justice, but it means that it is wholly retribution-based rather than rehabilitation-based.

It's not just about rehabilitation or retribution, it's about keeping him from doing it again.

You're kidding, right? Are you familiar with our justice system? GTFO.
