It’s very hard to both acknowledge that Clinton’s popularity is mired by sexist attitudes about women in public life, and that there are also other reasons why folks distrust her or dislike her. If you bring up one of these points, people tend to hit you over the head with the other fact, as if they can’t both be…

Uhhh...yeah....and his cop car’s GPS/locational tracking data that proved he repeatedly went to all these women’s homes...he’s just being SUPERCOP, martyr to racial-peace in our time, my god, how could we have been so blind. Also, as many other comments have noted, it’s hilarious awful how much his girlfriend has just…

The only way he could have known about a bust from thirty friggin’ years ago is if he selected her and trolled through her background. I can just see him clocking up the OT in front of his computer late at night, hunting through the records, making notes on addresses...

What I wanted to know is how much harassment and hate the department’s female investigator got while working this case up through today, especially since the rapist’s father also works for the same department and continues to work there today. I bet they made her life miserable, and there wasn’t a single question…

I doubt it because she’s reframed his criminal actions as an indictment against her sexual value. You hit the nail on the head with your line about him being a rapist, not a cad; unfortunately, she’s rewriting the narrative to save her own ego. If his victims had been more “socially acceptable” (my skin crawls typing…

I think that people need their faces rubbed in the fact that rapists are like this guy. Respectable,well liked,holding down good jobs,too many people think a “real rapist” looks like a bum,w/o a job or friends. Sexual predators could be your neighbor,he could live down the road from you. You could work with him. You…

I wonder...would she believe a rape allegation if the victim looked more like her? Would she suddenly think “Oh well yes...now I see...now that he’s forced himself on a pretty girl I can see why you are calling him a rapist. NOW I get it!”

Thank you! I think most people don’t realize that the desire to rape and the desire to have sex are two different things — the desire to overpower and consume vs. the desire to share intimacy/orgasm. So, yeah, if he wasn’t a rapist (criminal), and was just an adulterer (not nice, but not criminal), he wouldn’t have…

i have to go here since no one else. he manifests anti-black venom held by many other minority groups. which is why i hold up my “kumbaya, we’re all in this together” shit until they prove allies. i’ve had some nasty remarks and looks from other folk who are themselves the recipient of white-on-minority bigotry.…

Exactly. He knew they wouldn’t be believed. Why wouldn’t they be believed? Because we have horrible biases in our heads.

His girlfriend also had some gross shit to say about these women. She talked about how he wouldn’t rape those women is he wanted to stray. Stray?? Bitch, he’s a rapist...not a cad!

What a narcissistic piece of shit. I hope he and all of the people that stuck up for him lead miserable lives until they die.

It sickens me that Jezebel would run such a slanted article.

That was why he targeted them. They were vulnerable to him because he thought they wouldn’t be believed and they had few options. Hell, the jury didn’t believe them at first.

His choice descriptors of the victims are telling. “Women in those lifestyles”, “...not credible in society”, etc.

Poor baby 😢 Enjoy prison fucker.

Keep diggin bud.

This is not a woman that’s, you know, a soccer mom or someone that’s credible in society.”

Yes, Holtzclaw. So many cops are convicted of violent crimes against the public to avoid their towns becoming “Ferguson”. Just ask Tamir Rice’s family. Or Eric Garner’s family. Or most of the other families of victims of police violence.

Dear Daniel Holzclaw,
