CapeBreton Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 3 minutes ago, stevestojan said: Some of you are really showing your true colors by the side you’re picking here. And yes, you are picking a side; this isn’t a court of law, he isn’t owed due process to play football. And even if it were a court, statutory rape is a felony. But keep pulling for a god damned punter. Unbelievable. One of the better tweets: Did they cut the punter yet? I can’t believe a Super Bowl favorite is going to let a punter be a dark cloud over the team. Nobody here knows what happened so impossible to pick a side. You don’t know anything either but you’ve concluded he’s guilty? Bills knew the situation and still cut their other punter, they likely know something we don’t.

ALF Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I just hope the hospital rape test was done in time and she did not wash away the evidence. I feel very sorry for the young girl and want those responsible in prison. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like folks accused of a crime need to be fired immediately from their job Oh, I'm not just accusing them now, I've been doing it since like page 14. It's a fact that the college did not alert the campus of the investigation. You'll also never see me campaign for the police to keep their jobs under any circumstance.

Very well could be in response to being raped by 3 dudes, or mat getting tested because of unprotected encounter, and finding out that way. Totally possible she gave it to him if its the later, we'll never know That's what he allegedly told her - is that normally what you'd say to an almost certainly unrecognizable phone number and you were aware you did something to the girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happened while he was in college The NFL can't suspend him but the NFLPA can go after the Bills because he is currently a player in the NFL on an NFL contract and as such a member of the PA. The Cutting would be now, not back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The police never demanded a DNA sample to compare it to, and a Civil court won't require it, so that part won't really matter. Also, there were 3 men involved, and there's a good chance not every one left something behind. I'd think it would be little chance every man that had intimate contact didn't leave something behind. If this were a gang rape then they aren't being particularly careful and if there were any date rape drugs involved they likely have done similar acts previous to this instance. There's no accurate known number of how many guys participated. Edited August 26, 2022 by AuntieEm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His status as a big time athlete and a college that worked with a police department to bury a lead is the exact type of injustice you should be railing against. He's not the victim here. Quite frankly, neither you or I know who commuted those acts against that girl. It’s very possible she doesn’t even know. Due process is of the utmost importance at times like these, clearly that’s how the Bills organization feels too. We all know they are run very well, and look how they are handling this situation, they are exercising due process just as they should be. It’s really quite simple. Also, just because not everyone is treated the same in the world, is not an excuse to treat others differently. We need to be that which we wish to experience, otherwise things inevitably turn to anarchy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
