My auto correct Kind of messed up my Cosby post. Went ahead and edited it. Basically, the prosecution made a deal with him that if he went ahead with a civil trial and testified they wouldn't press criminal charges because they didn't have a strong case. In a criminal case he has the right not to take the stand. You don't have that right in civil court, and they can use that testimony against you in a criminal case whether you take the stand or not. The prosecutor just decided not to honor it and ran a campaign that he was going to prosecute Cosby.

I think Cosby is guilty as a mother fucker, but you cannot shit on someone's constitutional rights.

I have no idea if he’s guilty or not…how can you be so sure?

I’m so confused about whether or not people find this shit to repulsive or even criminal at all. It hits close to home for me and I’ve resigned myself to the fact that many people just don’t care.

Because he admitted it. That's the whole point, he testified in a civil case, and it was used in his criminal case against him.

They don't even bother pretending to hide the fact that our elite get away with anything...and in the off chance one of them goes to jail... just hold your horses....they'll get you out of there.

They did the same thing with Epstein 10-15 years ago. Fucker was supposed to rot in prison but they gave him the deal of the century....and then he continued to party with our elite and no one cared.

This will blow over quickly. They'll let it spin through the outrage cycle a bit and then it will be gone from the headlines.

Is they the main reason for things falling apart? The elite getting away with murder?

Well.... it's one of the reasons.

We don't matter anymore and at some point in the past 10-15 years or so...they decided to stop acting like they care.

Everything is just blatantly out in the open...and why shouldn't it be? Anything they do no matter how good or bad will have a bunch of plebs defending them.

Like the stimulus. They made a production out of doing it and it only cost a couple hundred billion. What put it into the trillions was giving shit tons of money to various corporations. Other things too but that was the meat and potatoes.

Gave money to stop them from laying off workers (supposedly) and they pocketed the money and started laying off workers.

I see they're already trying to turn this Cosby crap into a left/right issue on social media.

Don't fall for it.

It no longer matters which color sits in the big seat. It's corruption top to bottom.

Remember those kids in cages you hated and only a Nazi would put kids in cages?

They're still there...they just stopped calling them cages so their cheering plebs would stop whining.

Remember how Kamala was put in charge of the border issues and was going to be hard at work fixing it?

How's that working out?

None of these people care.

Bill Cosby was released from prison. Not only did they throw out his case, they ruled he can't be tried for that crime again. The prosecution apparently made a deal with him that if he went forward with a civil case and testified they wouldn't press criminal charges, basically because the case against him was really strong. On top of that, they say allowing witnesses to testify who weren't directly tied to the case prejudiced the jury against him.

Really weird on the second part, but the first part is totally believable with how corrupt the justice system is.

Not my cup of tea...doesn’t even remotely sound like a Gnr song.
