They may not have known each other;but they were all solicited by the same Lawyer.Kind of like those class-action lawsuit ads. Attorney Gloria Allred I'm sure she didn't prep them on what to say or anything. -sarcasm Gloria Allred and money is the common thread here.They do all have something in common.
How would Allred know which women to solicit? We're talking about 50 here.....what these 50 women have in common is having been drugged and raped by Cosby. Cosby did admit in court that he purchased quualudes to drug women for sex. Have is that fact ignored?
Really? These 50 women are stretched out over 40 yrs.....and even if Allredd did accomplish this.... well, she succeeded in uncovering a serial rapist, didn't she? Remember, Cosby did admit in court he purchased quaaludes to drug women for sex......don't ignore that. My guess is once the story broke, after all these yrs, those women decided to tell the truth about him. That often happens in cases like this involving a rapist who's in the position of power and intimidates his victims..... Kinda like the Bill Clinton sage - once a woman came forward and told what he did to her, that gave courage to the others to come forward. Anyway, does it really matter whether it was Allredd who contacted the women or that they just decided to expose what he really is? Either way, the real Cosby is now known.......
What I know for a fact is that when a woman is molested/raped by a man in a powerful position, which Cosby was, being a popular tv star and all that good stuff going for him & everyone loved the guy and she's nowhere near that status of being well known and admired like he was.........she would feel all alone. Who would believe her? And guys like him knows damn well he can intimidate her and does....what's she gonna do? So she does nothing....then the day comes when she can say something and does and there is courage and strength in numbers... Just like all those women in the Clinton case when he was the governor, then the POTUS........ It really isn't hard to understand the intimidating position those women are put in, but if you're a guy and assuming you are....guess you don't want to? I'm asking, not accusing.........
What I'm saying is:There was a whole lot of throwing poo against the wall and seeing what stuck. "Cosby's legal team has been investigating the credibility of some of his accusers. Accuser Judy Huth, for instance, who claims Cosby raped her at the Playboy Mansion in 1974 when she was underage, hired women's rights attorney Gloria Allred and filed a civil suit against Cosby last month." http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/...-he-wasnt-in-la-when-accuser-claims/21884579/ http://www.kontrolmag.com/truth-lies-two-bill-cosbys-accuser-discredited/
Of course that happens. You really think a case like this would be all prim and proper, Cosby breaks out in tears & confesses, etc etc..... No, it'll get uglier b/c he was exposed and scared. He spent his whole adult life building up his sterling image of being 'kind, caring and lovable, funny American's dad'......and it all came crashing down. The thing is - you never really know what's inside a person's head, but I'm sure you know that....well, I should say, these people you don't know personally - like Cosby.
Well..... Penn State child rapist, Jerry Sandusky's wife didn't leave him either. She may have now, since he's in prison for the next 125 yrs, but usually, the wives of rapists/sexual predators/pedophiles make a show of standing by their man, saying they just can't believe he'd do such a thing.... but it usually boils down to they don't want to give up the $ and lifestyle they'd become so used to..... And Camille Cosby is in her 70's.... guess we should consider her age.
could be there was so many he no longer knows himself which are true or not, a lot of time has passed, so we will never know I would say it sounds like he did abuse many, but I can not say all, that we will never know
Oh ... That's nice to know.So it's true.Madame Allred does double on the weekends as Superwoman .I was wondering about dat.
Sorry Charlie { 60's Starkist Tuna Commercial } if that was so then it would have been available like at every Grocery store and the Tabloid rack { Magazine section }. Cosby has by and large been a real good boy. Now I'm not pushing for him to receive any newfangled merit badges but I'm also not adverse to seeing him do Community Hours dressed as a Boy Scout and planting apple seeds either.How does Billy Appleseed sound.
already heard enough to determine that.... sad when people in positions of power like this do such horrible things
The thing is that seed of depravity/urge to kill had been there all along and once they're in the position of power or just knowing that they had successfully created their image of 'kindness & trustworthy' which is what Dennis Rader, known as the BTK (bind, torture, kill) killer in Kansas did - people are in trouble and they have no clue they are. Everyone liked Rader. He was the pillar of the community, a church goer and friend to everyone.....and for yrs he was killing friends and neighbors and it took yrs b/f they finally caught him...... Just another example of the evilness that's deeply buried in some.....
People that want to harm others or I suppose "prey" on others will look for positions of power... I believe a good 80% of people in positions of power are straight up sociopaths... There is a good line in the movie Goodfellas where Ray Liotta's character (Henry Hill) says "your enemies don't greet you with a frown they greet you with a smile." That's the truth.... These (*)(*)(*)(*)ing (*)(*)(*)(*)stains of humanity will pretend like they're helping you while they're harming you.... Like you pointed out Rader - that was a "community guy" yet we know what he did with his BTK nonsense..
I watched Rader's trial and there was absolutely no sign of remorse as victims were mentioned, like one couple w/11 yr old daughter. They knew him, invited him in w/a smile, he murdered them, then took the 11 yr old girl down to the basement and hung her....there's not one iota of humanity in people like him and the Ted Bundys....and serial rapists. When a guy feels he has to drug his victim into unconsciousness in order to have sex w/her.....well, that screams volumes about his own feelings of inadequacies as a man and how depraved he is....and like you said, he created for himself a position of 'power' over her.
Which is why these terrible people will put themselves in positions of power - take your pick.... IMO, I have my own politics but this is one of the reasons why I question authority - these people aren't always what they seem. People should be vigilant...
I remember the night John Wayne Gacy was put to death.It was in Central time so I had to stay up an hour later since I'm in the Eastern Time zone. It was the traditional midnight execution. There was a problem with Gacy's form of being put to death.It was via legal injection.Seems one of the initial drugs injected did not take effect. usually it takes 3 drugs.One to knock the person out.Then one where he losses his ability to breathe then one to stop his heart. Gacy wasn't going under.They had to stop the process and restart the initial drug.Meaning Gacy was allowed to live like 11,12 minutes longer than expected. The Prosecutor in the case was virtually Livid.He was red in the face. He gave a few statements to the press who were waiting outside.Then lambasted the process.How dare those injections foul-up.That monster insane SOB was allowed to live another 12 minutes.The Prosecutor was enraged that Gacy was allowed to breath like 11 minutes longer. Gacy was actually determined as a True Psychopath.Showing no remorse for his victims.What he did was heinous. He was a contractor.In a small area which was like an attic he had his place of Sex and torture.It basically consisted of a thick wooden rack where he schackled his victims who were knocked out via whatever cocktail and pills he found beneficial. Gacy enticed his victims with Drinks and Pot { Gacy being a pot user himself }. But when he decided to take them up to his small,dark and dirty attic,he needed to knock them half-unconscious.He also tricked them into putting handcuffs on to make the trip up to the attic that much easier.Once up there he raped them and then killed.I'm not sure how he killed them.I think he just bashed them in the head. The crawl space under his somewhat small house was where he buried the bodies. He had a problem with a leaky foundation and the smell in and outside his house was near unbearable.There were more than 20 bodies buried in the very wet,damp crawlspace.Right up to his execution Gacy acted gruff and refused to say he was sorry.
The most important reason I cite the John Wayne Gacy Execution is dynamic.Because at the time there was intense interest in whether THE Most demonstrable Serial Killer in American History would say He's Sorry. The room Gacy was executed in was curtained off.Just a small pool of reporters and victim family members were allowed to witness his execution. Therefore there would not be the actual sight of him dying.I think they allowed video showing him being led into the room and placed on the execution gurney. Then the curtain was closed.The interest was piqued.Would Gacy finally say in remaining minutes left on Earth that he was sorry or words to that effect. Never happened.That was,in effect chilling.A human being,of sound mind but not possessing a normal soul,refusing to admit and show some sign of Humanness. Even in the animal kingdom where A primal urge { killing for food } seldom for pleasure is dominant. That is a rare sight in America.Even - In Cold Blood - and those 2 killers { actually just Perry did the Killing } managed to show real sorrow and grief over their acts. Not so with Gacy.He was a true soulless monster of a human. The scary fact is ... he never showed that side out in public.In fact,he prided himself as being one of the boys.
My brothers girlfriends mothers boyfriend was killed by Gacy... I was born in Des Plaines, and my dad was living in Des Plaines (with my mother) when Gacy was killing all those young men... My mothers friends father was the guy that was the lead detective on the case.. Weird eh?
Gacy was never sorry, he got off on his celebrity and went to his death somber... Ted Bundy on the other hand allegedly freaked out before he was put to death like the coward that he was.... Ted Bundy is an interesting nutbar....
