    I referenced him as a fanboy as I have no idea of his race. an ENABLER. There were 2 distinct groups (one includes both genders and all races) and you've jumped the bandwagon like a porky cop eager to use his gun. but there is a group of people, the same who voted for obama because he's just like them (just like many whites voted for GW cuz he's just like them), that also conveniently ignore the testimonies countless women with nothing to gain have had over time. Not EVERY member of that community is an ENABLER.

    to me, the enablers living in denial are JUST as bad as sociopaths like cosby who probably think they can get away with anything and DO. he's never been given a slap on the wrist for it so he's just going to go deeper and deeper as men tend to do.

    people would be much better posters if they said what was on their mind instead of posting in an attempt to instigate- pouhe and nook.

    I'm not seeing how this is a racial situation. As Nook noted his accusers have been both white and black. Also Cosby has been appreciated by many white people who have agreed with his criticisms of black culture while alienating many in the black community. While Cosby is a black comedian his comedy has mostly not been about race.

    It the very least. . . Cosby is a Creepy Old Dude that chases young tail . . .That is the BEST CASE SENARIO for him

    But
    More Likely . . . he is a privileged prick that thought money power and position made him entitled to some young women by any means necessary and he would be protected
    he has been protected for years . . . . .

    Looking at the chicks coming out . . .#1 was bold .. . #2-5 was bold
    the rest are not bold just supporting [or in some's view piling on]
    At this point, ratting him out has little risk and some upside . . . . .

    The security guy coming out is d*mning but dude You as much a scumbag as Coz
    You cannot basically admit to all but holding these chicks down . .. and feel like a white knight for supporting them now . . . ..

    It's a great point. He had to know it wasn't all consensual after some upset (and maybe groggy) women were leaving that room.

    To be fair he did quit. What was he going to do "oh hey yall, bill cosby be raping everyone up in here!", I'm almost positive just as many people would believe him as they believed the women. That wasn't 2014 when all this **** was going down dude.

    I'm not saying he's squeaky clean, but he did quit.

    The retired security guard + Cosby's lawyer responding.

    "He would tell me to keep the women in there, don't let anybody in, and it was very obvious what was going on," Scotti, 90, told the Daily News in a video posted Sunday. "When the models used to come, he said, 'Get rid of everybody, and leave that one there.'"

    Scotti said he eventually quit working with Cosby, "because of the girls."

    Singer, Cosby's lawyer, disputed Scotti’s claims to The Daily News.

    "What evidence does he have of Mr. Cosby’s involvement?" Singer asked the Daily News Saturday. "How would Scotti know if a woman was a model or a secretary? It appears that his story is pure speculation so that he can get his 15 minutes of fame."


    Wow. That's your angle? The security guard didn't know whether the woman was a model or a secretary? Does it matter what a woman's job is when you barricade her in a room and assault her? Lawyers don't have to take certain clients, and they can also leave clients. Many layers of pond scum here.

    I respect and admire his success and liked The Cosby Show, but he wasn't funny.

    Pathetic excuse for a human being leaked story about his daughter’s drug problem to save his butt.

    So know we can add snitch to sociopath and serial rapist.

    another powerful article my wife and I read together:

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/poste...take-30-years-for-people-to-believe-my-story/

    This is the new big issue in our society- a casual approach from men towards rape and women being shamed into hiding it.

    He read 80% of it but his wife read the hard words like "consentual" and "rape". They have been doing it for years, it bonds them together and they are both proud he can now read at a 3rd grade level... Doctors said he wouldn't be able to read... Proved them and their witchcraft medicine magic wrong.

    Cosby's sweater could be some sort of hypnotic trance that puts young victims to sleep.
