Well she is 13, so according to Woopie Goldberg it's not rape rape.

 

I wonder if the Hollywood elite will hold some vigils for him and call for the police to stop hounding him.

No parent will let their kid in there again because of the rule of where there's smoke there must be fire.

 

 

There's one thing about his comic shop...there was a lot of smoke. Everything reeked of stale cigarettes. Some major yellowed pages on lots of his books.

I don't know this guy nor do I want to.

 

However, just because an accusation is made does not mean it is the truth.

 

Innocent until PROVEN guilty in my justice system.

But we can make an educated guess based on character, and the armed standoff with police along with the suicide threats don't paint him in the light of an innocent man.

 

I'm not saying the guy is guilty. I'm saying I wouldn't be surprised if he was.

You don't get good vibes from him. :eek:

 

Plus, I saw the picture, I mean look at that guy...
If they find out he is guilty, they should bypass the pen and hand him over to the little girl's father.

 

No need.. Now that he is in custody he should be afraid. He will have to be in segregation and someone in prison will prob try to kill him for his crime.. Those bros in there dont like peds and rapists one bit..

No, but that's how reputations and lives are ruined, sometime unjustly. I'll wait until he is actually convicted before lighting my torch.

 

Do you really think this guy's life will be ruined because a few people on this board are rushing to judgment? I think you overestimate our influence. And what exactly do you mean by lighting your torch, is anyone here taking some kind of action against this guy?

 

Us alone? Probably not (though there are a fair number of people posting in this thread that seem to know him and his shop), but you have to look at it in aggregate. Did the workers at McMartin Preschool have their lives ruined by a couple of conversations? No, but when you multiply those couple of conversations by ten thousand judgements and trials in the courts of public opinion it adds up. Listen, I worked in the felony trial division in Cook County in Chicago, I thought criminal prosecution was going to be my calling. It wasn't, but I hate scumbags as much as the next guy. I just want to make sure they actually ARE scumbags through a fair trial before rushing to judgement or condemnation in any forum, this one included. Your mileage may vary.

 

I've bought from him before. I've always thought the guy was a little strange. Had no idea if he was a ped or not, but as I've said, it doesn't surprise me at all.

 

However, I won't lie, I'll never do business with him again. Even if he is 100% innocent and it's proven to be a complete farce. My decision to never be near this guy again are purely from his own actions when he was arrested. I would never do business with anyone so half cocked and known to have a gun. Regardless of the outcome, I'll never get near him again due to his own stupidity.

Children lie. It is not something that has to be taught - it is human nature.

 

I am not saying the guy is innocent or guilty - but it is just so $#@%ed up that the more sick the accusation - the easier it is for people with absolutely minimal information to make a judgement. Sad really.

 

How about if you wait for ALL the facts to come out before making a snap judgement on someone?

 

I'm pretty sure everyone here believes in the basic principle that you get your day in court and that you are innocent until proven guilty. It seems somewhat redundant to wave that flag here for everyone. I think people get it.

 

That said. There's enough "evidence" that this guy has some issues with mental stability. That and the fact that he ran a store that might draw kids in coupled with the fact that he likes to keep a gun on his person and threaten to use it is enough of a red flag for me to feel pretty good about locking his azz up for the time being. Maybe i'm crazy but I think the world just got a little more safer now that he's not sitting behind the counter.

If this was ancient rome pedos would be common place..but I'd be willing to bring back the "throwing them to the lions" for modern day child abusing scum bags (who are guilty)

The phrase in parentheses is the key one. So here's a novel idea: why don't we all wait till he's actually found guilty and then we'll bring the hungry beasts outside. (thumbs u

 

For what it's worth, if I was forced to pick an answer in this on this one, I'd bet on "guilty" (and probably I'd be willing to risk good money on it).

 

Thankfully, though, the judicial system is not one for betting and guessing. :preach:

Can't argue with that. I am sure I would do the same.

When it comes to crimes hurting innocent children...I say throw the bastage away forever and lose the key.

 

 

I say put him in a cell with 12 Viagra addicts that are serving life sentences for habitual assaults if he's guilty.

 

That's a good start.

 

Then cut off his balls and make him eat it as his last supper before his lethal injection.

 

Can you tell I have a daughter?

The presumption of innocence is for the courtroom, that standard doesn't apply in the court of public opinion. If you think someone's guilty of a crime based upon whatever slim "evidence" you have at your disposal, that's your opinion and you're entitled to it. You don't need a jury to validate your opinion and you don't have to defer until there's been a court proceeding.
