Well, as I noted over and over on the Fight Club thread, and which I’m sure you saw, I wasn’t sure at the time. It looked that way to me. But now, after all of this from people n Alabama? A cop saying he was banned from the mall for harassing teenaged girls? Heck yeah, I think he’s guilty.
And it’s fine for me to think so. I’m not “convicting” him and there IS no need for a judge or jury—-he isn’t on trial. Politicians are tried in the court of public opinion.
This guy’s life isn’t going to be ruined by denying him higher office.
So if he’s guilty, she might have been partially to blame, because men in their thirties cruise malls for kids all the time. But if not, cut out her tongue. I’m thinking another body part would be more suitable for removal, and it isn’t hers.
The hell he isn't on trial, it's trial by Media.
It is as common as cat crap in a litter box nowadays, and even here, half a dozen of you are calling for him to surrender a hard fought candidacy over allegations.
That, considering the effort, etc. put forth to get that far would represent being deprived of something he has worked for without due process of law. It's the same sort of character assassination carried out against another candidate, and as I said, if the charges have merit--IF, then he should step down--and IF he knowingly groped some girl younger than the age of consent or against her will, then produce the evidence and at least give the man a chance to be exonerated.
This sort of smear reeks of seven mistresses and daddy killing JFK. It has that same stink to it.
I'm not sure how fast malls went up in Alabama, but I grew up 50 miles from Washington DC and knew of one by 1974. I really doubt there were multiple malls in a town in Alabama in 1977, or that Moore--or anyone else-- had a reputation built for 'cruising for young girls' in mall
s there in 1977. There might have been one in town.
What has me floored, though, aside from a couple of usual suspects, is the absolute determination some on this board have to hang this guy.
