Bill Cosby and the court of public opinion

By now we have all seen the renewed interest in Bill Cosby and serial rape allegations, these allegations have been around since before I was born, this is not a new story.

Let me make this clear, I, 100% believe Cosby is a serial rapist, I, 100% believe these women to be victims of him. I have seen nothing to believe that any of the woman whom have come forward are in it for any secondary gain.

There is nothing to gain. Statute of limitations have run out on both criminal and civil court interventions, a few of the women came forward to the police directly after the rape and they were shunned by the police. He settled out of court with a couple of other women years ago.  Tell me exactly what type of "fame" do assault victims receive....
 
The way these women have been vilified by keyboard snipers is representative to how sex assault victims are treated every day by the court system and by society, these ladies are intelligent, successful and fully realize they will be treated terribly by the public but chose to come forward anyway.

The only thing "gained" is that the public now know their stories.



Many people believe that we should "wait until the courts take care of him" and "we have no right to judge/condemn Bill Cosby, we weren't there".

Ok, see...here is where those sentiments are dead wrong.

I have every right to condemn him, 15+ women have come forward through the years, they all have a similar story describing an exact MO. The police and courts had their chance, they blew it.

Now it is the public's turn to tell him what he did was horrendous.
Where the judicial system failed miserably, society is screaming loud and clear...WE AREN'T GOING TO ACCEPT THIS ANYMORE.

We, as a society have every right to shun those who have hurt their fellow man, I have no need to wait until a judge or jury tells me how I should feel or a higher power for that matter. Natural consequences of being a rapist is that you are looked down on by the majority of society.

Don't like it? Don't rape.

News flash; Dr Huxtable was NEVER a real person, he was a character on a sitcom played by an actor. Some people are having a tough time separating the character from Cosby.

 Please do not try and tell me that this is "fishy" or that this is some conspiracy against Cosby....there is nothing logical about that thinking at all. How anyone can paint Cosby to be a victim is astounding, but there are some who are doing exactly that.

Cosby is nothing but a pathetic old man who enjoyed forcing himself on naive drugged up woman. He is a serial rapist and I am 100% comfortable stating that, he knowingly preyed on young girls who society is programmed to judge...much like the cop who was raping prostitutes, a sociopath knows their prey.

Maybe society is getting somewhere, we are holding him accountable, engagements have been canceled, his new sitcom idea has been shelved and he has become poison to ratings. In fact, I am pretty sure his comeuppance is exactly right for him, even if he was charged and found guilty way back when, he would not have spent much time (if any) in prison......

Call it karma if you will....I'll call it justice.
