I'll bet the star with be vandalized. It's probably just a matter of time before it has to be removed. |
One can hope. Dumbass move by the Chamber of Commerce. My guess is the public outcry will change their mind really quickly. |

Even worse than that. Sure we know he was a rapist and held human beings as Chattel even though it went against the words he wrote that make him an ever lasting figure in human history.

As I said earlier and will add to, Cosby is a creep who deserves to go to Jail. But "Lil' Bill, Fat Albert and especially, especially "Cosby" will not and should not be thrown out with the bathwater.

Maybe but there are other crappy people who still have a star so this is no different. |

It feels good to hear overly compassionate people speak but stories like the above make me physically ill. People just cannot really be serious when they say "i believe everyone is doing their best!"

Him admitting in his taped deposition in 2005 that he drugged them was pretty much the nail in his career and his admission that he is guilty. That Washington lawyer that he hired recently for PR purposes recently won't be able to fix the damage that is done. |

IMO Cosby's done something that will tarnish his image forever. I don't see any way it can be repaired. In my eyes it's irreparable.
When is the media going to let it go?

So what? Didn't ask about Donald Trump either. You didn't ask me why then, why now? What's your point?

No, he'd better stay alive and suffer through his career free fall, his friends abandoning him, and just a miserable end phase.

The irony that its NBC
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/twenty-seven-bill-cosby-accusers-come-together-for-on-air-interview/
| Quote: | Twenty-seven of Bill Cosby’s accusers are coming together for a joint, on-air interview for the first time on NBC’s Dateline.
NBC News National Correspondent Kate Snow will conduct the hour-long interview as nearly half of the comedian’s accusers will talk about their recollections of the alleged assaults.
The accusers span five decades of alleged incidents of assault and getting drugged. They will also respond to claims from Cosby’s team that their allegations are untrue. Many of the accounts follow a similar storyline: The victims allege that Cosby offered to mentor them, then drugged them before sexually assaulting them.
Snow will also talk to a small group of women called “Jane Does,” who came forward in 2005 and agreed to talk about the alleged assaults under oath, anonymously, but never ended up doing so. |

I saw that interview as well. It's not looking good for Bill. |
Read that old post of mine, I called it a year ago. Dr. Huxtable prescribed that to his female "patients", at least til the 90s. Bill hit us with that sick joke this entire time of giving his TV character his own personal fetish dream job (OBGYN). If he actually was a doctor, he might've used benzos instead of Quaadlues. Those produce sleep and they're anti-anxiety; they use Ativan to knock some ICU patients into a near coma state (e.g. Tony Soprano in Season 6 after he got shot). Slurry speech and dizziness are listed side-effects of Quaalude, which is what a lot of these women were also lucid enough to recall. He must've switched to some other drug after Quaalude was pulled from the US or else he had a stash of old ones as in Wolf Of Wall Street. There's a whole scene in that where Leo and Jonah are slurry and dizzy after taking those. That was one of the few funny scenes in that.

Yes! Why beat a dead horse. He's been destroyed, most likely will be bankrupt from lawyer fees. Why the sadistic need to see a person already destroyed kicked when he's down?
He's a sexual deviant. He obviously has a problem. The man is sick. Just because he's Bill Cosby doesn't mean he can't be ill.
What he did is deplorable. He deserves whatever happens in the courts. Even if he's found not guilty he's done. He's been vilified, ruined, what pleasure is derived by continuing to demean a publicly condemended man?
Who cares? I do.
Let it go.

A negative Q Score is generally not looked upon as fair punishment for 55+ rapes. |

I didn't apply fair or unfair. Bill has fallen further than I ever expected. I'm ashamed for him.
Whatever punishment he receives will most likely not be enough for some. I'm on board with whatever hand the system deals him. Let the cards fall where they may. I'm just tired of hearing about it.
It's difficult for me to see a Black icon fall.
