No Way To Handle It

There's a reason we have a judicial system -- because this court of public opinion is absurd. Maybe Cosby did all these horrible things - drugging and raping numerous vulnerable women. The number of women coming forward are hard to ignore. But is this the way to handle it? Public shaming about incidents happening 25-30 years ago? It strikes me as a terrible way to handle the situation both for Cosby, the victims, and the public at large. What I do not understand about these cases is how these victims don't come forward initially and demand justice. You see it over and over, but I cannot fathom being drugged and raped by someone and not going to the cops and saying: this mother-f-er drugged and raped me. I want him in jail. People will say he is powerful. Powerful? Who cares? And really, what power does he have? Money. Name me a single American who thinks because someone has money, they ought to get away with a crime. You will find none. This is our country, we rule it, and we make it what we want. And consider this as well -- the victims who didn't come forward and insist Cosby be brought to justice -- they bear at least some responsibility for the victims who came after them. So whatever shame and victimhood they feel, I think, is a poor excuse for shutting their mouthes when something could've been done about it instead of now coming forward in a gang wanting the lynch mob to publicly humiliate and take down the man.
