I feel so bad for Patten Oswalt. Death is hard especially when it blindsides you.

Run that theory by anyone who’s on a sex offender registry. ... Maybe if you’re a rich and famous man...

When they asked the boys how A.B. aprroached them they said he was looking for the perfect beat

You are wrong, troll.

I’m sure all the infant to 12 year olds getting molested by family members will totally be in a place to do this ridiculous thing you’re demanding.

FINALLY now I should be able to find a cheap original copy of “Planet Rock” on eBay.

‘The human race is becoming a disgrace’

You’re obviously not an Arsenal fan.

you clearly do not have teenagers. particularly not teenage girls. with all the makeup, extensions, and spandex/lycra popular these days, EVERYONE looks like they are 18. it is truly very common. (but that is beside the original point. i have no idea if bambaataa would even claim a “mistake of age” defense.)

“The problem is they are going after the teen because they know the teen could be manipulated more easily.” For true child predators, this is absolutely true. But there are MANY people who are not predators who have sexual experiences with people below the age of consent, and often they do not know the true age. When…

First, I do agree there needs to be more done to research the age of consent. I find it troubling that across state lines it can vary. Not to mention it varies on the closeness of the two minors before it is considered abuse.

First of all, there is a huge difference between being gay and molesting kids. But yeah... it’s not something I’ve been up on previously but I’ve read conversations between people way more informed than me who have worked with him that are not surprised by this at all.

Everyone on my iPod is either a rapist or dead now.

All major news outlets have intel assets on their editorial boards. It’s been that way since the height of the cold war, when Intel was popularly imagined to be benign and ‘pro-america.’ That doesn’t mean the report isn’t true. The presence of intelligence representatives has more of an impact on what isn’t reported…

This suggests a deep misunderstanding of the repercussions of sexual assault.

Well, rape is about power and control so the vulnerable always get preyed on: women and children.

When there are all these victims, it must be so hard to be the first person to come forward. It’s very brave. It’s too bad that with this guy, and Cosby, and Sandusky, it only comes out when the person is elderly and has probably done as much damage to as many people as they could. I know it’s only because the whole…

In my opinion, separating the artist from the art is how a lot of these predators get away with it. I was surprised to learn how many great musicians are super terrible people, but no one ever calls them to account because their work is so good. It makes it really hard for me to enjoy their work when people care more…

Ah man, not him too. He was a huge trailblazer for electronic music as well. I know its possible to separate the work from the person but it is hard and very uncomfortable to do so.
