This hit me hard. I can't even imagine what this father is going through. I feel bad for the police having to hold him down, because that has to suck putting the guy through more pain, but man were they quick and effective.

Pruitt: what do you think of the Erin Weir situation. He's a Federal NDP Member of Parliament who has been suspended for an anonymous accusation.
NDP leader Jagmeet Singh has said that no victims have come forward and that he didn't think the accusations were sexual in nature.

Re: Kevin Spacey's Career?
Never heard about it until right now. Singh is in a tough position since this is complete hearsay - another MP claiming that women have complained to her about the guy (with no details given).degenerasian wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2018 11:38 am Pruitt: what do you think of the Erin Weir situation.

He may be guilty of these things, but this Christine Moore is a complete idiot for bringing it to light in the manner that she did - the day before a caucus meeting when it could have been done privately with other party members present. And if women had been complaining to her, would she not have a duty to tell the leader?
Also, she brings out the pedant in me:
She should be suspended from the NDP caucus for crimes against the English language."There is too many women (mostly employee) complaint to me that you were harassing to them and as a women I would not feel comfortable to meet with you alone. Given what's going on right now in the political world, I think you should really not run to avoid us any trouble."

FWIW, he's says no. http://www.latimes.com/business/hollywo ... story.html
I read his firm response, then I went and read her complaint. She's only person talking about events over 20 years ago. At the same time, apparently she wrote about it in her journal at the time and Variety says they confirmed her story with friends of hers (saying she told them this story back when it happened). It sounds kind of bad - not totally awful - but again, it's just one person and maybe she's full of shit.

Re: Kevin Spacey's Career?
If she's not full of shit he's an absolute piece of shit for going this route.My family and friends are stunned and supportive. My NBC colleagues are bewildered that Vester, who had limited success at NBC News, a modest career at Fox and a reputation as a colleague who had trouble with the truth was suddenly the keeper of the flame of journalistic integrity.
Perfunctory, huh? But admitted there was a kiss.As I got up to leave I may have leaned over for a perfunctory goodnight kiss but my memory is that it happened at the door — on the cheek. No clenching her neck. That move she so vividly describes is NOT WHO I AM. Not in high school, college or thereafter.
I've always liked him, so I hope this isn't all true.

Re: Kevin Spacey's Career?
So fuck it, I can't sleep and I've had what turned out to be a kind of fucked up day, so I'm going to rant here until I feel better.
It started when I met my favorite college professor for lunch this afternoon. He contacted me out of the blue a month or so ago and said he'd be in town and spring for lunch, so I thought sure why not.
We were having a good time catching up, BSing about people we knew and politics (he's a low-level operator in Democratic politics in Ohio, a guy who just organizes at the county level, etc.) so we're bitching about Trump and the usual and after awhile the conversation came around to #MeToo and he just so casually dismisses it and complains about how you can't say anything to anyone any more, and women are too sensitive, etc., etc. (He's 72 btw.) Just kind of took me by surprise and disappointed me a little. Earlier in the conversation he had even said the biggest mistake the Democrats ever made wasn't forcing Clinton's resignation in 1999 to install Al Gore and clear the way for Gore to be re-elected instead of elected after not taking the moral high ground about perjury.* Remember I haven't talked to him in person since Clinton was actually finishing his first term.
Anyway, it just put a damper on the reunion in my head a little. It's not like he's a bad guy, he's just a man of a certain time and I get that.
So then I find out about the bombshell report on Patricia's rape charge back in 1996 (and to make things spookier, I was actually on South Padre Island that very same week for our spring break my senior year at Central, which means my last interaction with this professor was like literally only a month later.
But I digress. So I'm pretty pissed off about this rape allegation for a LOT of reasons, not the least of which (though not the most important of which) is HOW IN THE FUCK DO YOU MISS A FUCKING RAPE CHARGE in a background check? What kind of fucking buffoonery is this shit? I realize Patricia is benefit a presumption of innocence, but he's not entitled to a COMPLETE presumption of innocence. Wouldn't it just be easier to hire one of the other 100 qualified candidates who doesn't have a rape charge on them?
So I had the temerity to express that opinion on the electronic Twitter machine and it did not go well. The Pepes and misanthropes and misogynists just crawl out of the woodwork and now I just feel sick to my stomach that I root for this team and I don't need it.** The Lions were already easily one of the top 10 causes of stress in my life and who fucking needs that. So fuck 'em. Fuck em' all.
Anyway, thanks for the rant.
* - Make no mistake I realize part (or probably most) of his argument relates more to the realpolitik of that decision as opposed to the moral side of it, but still....
** - And I hate that I WANT to be one of these brain-dead fools who thinks that any rape charge that doesn't go to trial is because the woman made it up, but damn if I just can't do it. So that makes me angrier that I even think that way.

Few background checks turn up an indictment without a conviction. An NFL team could do a little more diligence, but an indictment does not give you a criminal record.
