[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if he heard about others being falsely accused on social media. Did he go straight to the police and confess so that those being wrongly identified could have their names cleared?[/quote]

Nope he was going to "church" when he got pulled over. Then skipped church, went straight to his lawyer. [/quote]PP here and that's the part the bothers me the most. If he knew others were being accused and didn't immediately turn himself in at that point  then his subsequent apology is worthless. Of course I don't know what he knew. And no he's not going to jail for thirty years nor should he.[/quote]

I disagree.  There is nothing wrong with talking to a lawyer before turning yourself in.  You would be foolish not to.  Honestly, I don’t see anything wrong with not turning yourself in period.  There’s no obligation to do that and often that would be a very bad move.

As for going to the priest, you could just as easily be going there to seek penance and guidance for dealing with his problems as many more nefarious motive.[/quote]You basically just described the thief who isn't sorry he stole just sorry he got caught. [/quote]

I just described someone who is smart enough to consult with a lawyer; that has nothing to do with remorse one way or another.

As for the priest, why would someone seeking spiritual guidance/forgiveness be a sign of lack of remorse?  That makes no sense.[/quote]

There is no element of remorse, regardless of what you think.

The incident happened on June 1.  The first suspects were flagged June 1-2 and were exonerated on June 3.  Brennan was finally arrested on Friday, June 5.  If he was remorseful, he could have come out anytime in the first 24-48 hours.  He would have consulted a priest and an attorney immediately and could have come forward with a statement from his lawyer early enough to avoid having other suspects doxxed and vilified.  He spent the 4 days hiding all evidence.  He hid some of his items in a bicycle bag that was buried in the closet.  He threw away and expensive bicycle shirt.  He hid the bicycle helmet in a nondescript bag under the front porch.  He hid the tape and flyers that he took from the kids in the basement.  He took the bike four blocks away and hid it behind an office building where he used to have an office.  None of these actions suggest any remorse.  All point to him trying desperately to hide the fact that he was involved.  He had no desire to save others from being suspected.  He did not care about the students that he assaulted.  He did not care that he had harmed people and was continuing to harm others by hiding his guilt.

The only remorse he has shown is that he regrets being caught.  He had no plans to reveal himself, turn himself in, save others from being erroneously blamed for his terrible actions until he was confronted by police that stopped the car he was riding in and asked him point blank if he was the cyclist.

THAT is NOT a good person, no matter how PP tries to change the facts. [/quote]
