Black athletes continue to be charged immediately for rape, while white athletes get a pass. Is it rape if the victim is a hooker? (It depends on the circumstances) It is statutory rape at a minimum. The victim was 16 years old.
Ben Roethslisberger should be in jail. He is a serial rapist. Two different women in 2 different states. This is a federal offense. Shouldn't the FBI be involved? He is Famous + Rich + White! I don't care if he won two superbowls. Michael Vick got the Feds up his @#$!! Crimes against women are worse than crimes against dogs.
I read this article. It is clear that Mr. Taylor not only participated in illegal prositituion and had sex with a 16 year old but he allegedly raped her. I don't know how much worse that can get. Minimum is not statutory rape but statuory rape and paying for sex. He paid the girl $300 dollars.
Michael vick is a monster. He torched and killed so many dogs. Compared to what Micheal did, Ben is a saint. Yes, rape is awful but to be tortured and/or killed is much worser. If the dogs were human, he would be on death row by now.
Wow, you read one article and you find a man's guilt "clear"? http://www.philly.com/dailynews/sports/20100507_Lawrence_Taylor_charged_with_rape.html
You believe everything you're told...just like a house-negro. You would have been a damn good slave...to bad you were born a couple centuries too late.
Taylor, a 51-year-old former New York Giants star who has faced drug and tax-evasion charges in the past, paid the girl $300 for sex in a Holiday Inn, where he was arrested early yesterday, said Christopher St. Lawrence, supervisor of the town of Ramapo, N.Y. The guy is not a saint. I mean the job of a defense lawyer is to defend the client. That lawyer will be bias for his client.
Torturing and killing women is WORSE than killing them. Like I said. If the dogs had been human, he would have been on death row.
Yeah, but if you treated a Woman the way the Dog Whisperer treats dogs, you'd be on death row too. You're generally not supposed to treat Women like dogs, regardless of how well you treat dogs. I am *all* for punishing those that hurt non human animals, but yeah, a rapist is worse than a dog-beater. And, btw, take it from a Woman: rape is torture. You don't really need to make a distinction between the two.
You believe that I believe everything I'm told. That's your opinion. Clearly wrong! You don't know me. Oh If i were born a couple centuries earlier, I would be fighting Napoleon Bonaparte for my freedom and not in slavery. Even the so called house-negro poisoned the slave master.Thank god for Toussaint L'Ouverture.
Again, I was not saying they are equivalent. Michael did not rape a woman. IF HE DID, I would still say he should be in prison. This isn't a case of which is worse but of does the sentence of torturing and killing dogs fit. He did not rape a woman so that is of irrelevance to the case. If he did rape a woman, his sentence should be even longer. I am pointing out that you are not to torture and kill and have a short sentence. You are not to rape either. That is why I made a reply with the previous response.
Again, I am not disagreeing with you. I am saying that the sentence micheal got was not fair. I don't see much disagreement on this case but a lot of switching to a topic about something Micheal did not do.Even if he did rape a a woman, I'd still say he should be in prison. I am glad to see that all of you are for football players who rape women getting a lengthy sentence.
You said that someone who raped multiple women is a saint compared to a Man who tortured and killed dogs. Much as I loathe violence to animals, it is not "much worser" than raping women.
I did not say that someone who raped multiple women is a saint compared to a Man who tortured and killed dogs. Ben was not convicted of multiple rapes that I know of. He is or was, however, on trial for it. If he is convicted of it then I will agree. The accuser gives an affidavit that supports Ben. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09220/989640-66.stm#ixzz0Nq1oEgKL There are also several employees that state that she didn't. The second case I am not sure of. On April 12, 2010, district attorney Fred Bright held a press conference to announce that Roethlisberger would not be charged. Bright said "looking at all the evidence here, we don’t even have ***********002bb8]probable cause[/color]. Probable cause is the standard to make an arrest, and we did not have [it]."***********002bb8][95][/color] Furthermore, the victim wrote to the D.A. through her lawyer expressing she no longer wanted to pursue criminal charges***********002bb8][97][/color] because the level of media attention would make a criminal trial too "intrusive" of a personal experience. The letter stressed that she was not recanting her accusation That is about the second case. The problem I have with Lawrence taylor is that he has a record and he, according to some sources, paid her. Why would you pay a hooker?
I'm not certain Ben committed the rapes, and more than I'm convinced that Taylor committed rape. So far, there is equal evidence against both -- neither has been convicted. But your words are very clear: "Compared to what Micheal did, Ben is a saint. Yes, rape is awful but to be tortured and/or killed is much worser." That's not a declaration of Ben's innocence. It's a suggestion that harming animals is "worser" than raping Women.
Now it is subjective. I thought the guy was not convicted compared to Micheal vick(who was convicted). From what I have read, he wasn't. I understand what you mean if I look at it as if Ben was guilty(even though he was not found to be guilty). I should have just corrected Black dragon and said he is not a convicted serial rapist. Sorry about that. If you do look at it from my point of Ben not being found guilty, You can see why I said the guy is better. If he did do it, then he is not.
