Exactly. That is straight up child abuse. If a parent did that to their child they would be tossed in jail. Why are these cops free? 11 years old is a baby! I have a 15 year old and she may be more child like than normal, but even at her age I feel like that’s a little girl. Eleven, though! That’s 100% child…

Then the force would be understaffed. Who knows how many 11-year-old girls could be walking around outside if there aren’t enough cops on patrol?

I’ve been wrongfully imprisoned before...it was terrifying. I can’t inagine what it was like for her. I was an adult but because of a clerical error, literally someone just leaving a piece of paper on their desk instead of filing it, I answered a doorbell one night to find multiple cops fully kitted out asking for…

Those police officers should be in prison for endangering the welfare of a minor and for kidnapping.

They’re investigating but none of the officers have been put on administrative leave? Isn’t that the normal protocol as one investigates, until there is a conclusion?

Fuck the police. I have nothing else to say.

Really, REALLY disturbing, this guy’s whole disgusting life. I just followed that KyCIR rabbit hole too, thanks to savvy WaPo comments:

I am deeply, deeply angry on behalf of his victim, if he did this as a final act of control. It’s possible she may never get vindication or justice now and I firmly believe that was a big part of his motive.

There’s a lot more going on with his suicide than just him being exposed as a rapist. I say this because there is going to be an avalanche of blame (and harassment and worse) directed at his victim. Before he blessedly relieved the Earth of his presence, a local public radio station was publishing an ongoing…

Christians who blame Satan for anything are the worst. The devil did NOT make you do it. He didn’t possess your body and pilot you like a meat mecha and make you do bad things. YOU did the bad things. YOU rationalized what you were doing. YOU ARE A BAD PERSON! Satan A. Doesn’t exist and B. If he did exist he’d be…

I’m not. One less rapist.

“The only thing I’d say is to honor his wishes and blame only Satan.”

Damn, citing fake news in your suicide note. It’s insidious.

These are all good suggestions, and preferable to my guess, which was that it was “Bob” from Twin Peaks trying to escape from inside Bannon and the woodsmen kept stuffing Bob back inside him, again and again and again.

I think that’s blood from the open sore near his mouth.

Seriously, ew.

A Senate seat which he himself caused to become vacant! Is this the winning he was schreeching on about?

As is often the case, I really don’t have anything productive or informative to say. I just found an all-purpose gif of Symone Sanders from last night that I think many of you women will find very useful in future debates with Deadspin commentators:

If you want to know how much last night’s vote mattered witness how quickly Republicans scrambled to get everything Susan Collins wants back into their tax plan.

“Wow, more than 90% of Fake News Media coverage of me is negative, with numerous forced retractions of untrue stories. Hence my use of Social Media, the only way to get the truth out. Much of Mainstream Meadia has become a joke!”
