He’s going to need you on his defense team because, “The cat did it!” has got to be the best excuse for this ever.

Man, you can’t make this stuff up.

OK that’s enough now. It was funny, but just the first time. :)

Mellow is not how I took it. I took it was tacit support for the school, quite frankly. And knowing what some have said about the area, I don’t think that my assumption is incorrect.

His last name is spelled Cicale, not Sicale. May also be worth noting he’s a Republican (if you couldn’t guess).

Is giving a kid an extra day off of school really a punishment? I didn’t understand when I was a kid and I still don’t get it.

Most school board members are people I would not want to associate with but this is a new low.

As a dad, I’m shaking with rage at the thought of the school board president telling those children they owe the school resource officer an apology.

I don’t know if I’m incredibly sad or enraged. Maybe both.

Yeah, especially bringing the motion after announcing it to the media. That really highlights how it was a very obnoxious publicity stunt. Sounds like Cosby’s legal team isn’t much better than Trump’s.

This is literally like saying that law abiding citizens are too biased against criminals to be objective in a court room because of the fact that they are law abiding citizens.

Oh no! Because of his wife’s job he might have the implicit bias that rape is a bad thing! Maybe Harvey Weinstein or Brock Turner are available to preside, as a more impartial arbiter?

I think a lot of the abusers who demand NDAs count of the fact that their victims won’t know how legally enforceable they are, and will be too upset/powerless to consult a decent lawyer and get it checked before they sign it.

You do seem to see the incredible lengths he went to abuse women, in that if he couldn’t assault them or ruin their careers, even AFTER they avoided him and quit, he was busy trying to make them feel worthless. He seems to be a person constantly looking not just to harm but to obliterate others.

First, you are right - an agreement not to seek medical care (which is how I’d frame this if I were challenging it), would likely not be enforceable as void against public policy in the US (and probably elsewhere, I imagine).

Presumably it’s because discussing a patient’s details is a violation of the patient and would require Perkins to file a complaint against the therapist... which she could decide not to do.

Thats mighty whiggy of you

She said that a year after she left the company she ran into Weinstein at the Cannes Film Festival, and “he told me that everything I had done was pointless.”
