Do you think Bill Cosby should be in jail?

[bremer51]

He was found guilty in a court of law. He should go to jail.

[debidoo]

Yes I think he should be in jail - he got away with his crap long enough and had plenty of time to enjoy his beautiful home, his money and his freedom.  I don't think he should ever be allowed out.

Hard for me to think this conversation is still on both sides.

He is a criminal, took advantage of several women, using his status to seduce.

Since when do we put aside the cries of the victims when the victimizer has been proven guilty in a court of law?

You should remind yourself that the Jews FREED a criminal to Pilate to condemn an innocent man in Jesus.Why would it be any different from time to time in this world?

Bill Cosby is no Jesus Christ.

Sorry you misunderstood me.It was meant as blind justice for the innocent.....<his victims if he is guilty and others dont see it that way>

Its also blind justice if an innocent man is in jail.I wasnt there.A juror said they convicted him on admitting he drugged the woman some time ago.Was it consensual?We all have our opinion.I would have voted guilty on that.Could i and others have been wrong?Yes.Mankind isnt gonna get it right all the time.Thats my point.

He admitted under oath to giving women drugs so you figure it out! Yes he should be in jail.

Side note -- Bill Cosby was the speaker at my daughter's college graduation.  It's interesting to contemplate that he was speaking to young people about all the possibilities that were in front of them as graduating seniors.  Nough said!

He should be in jail.  He should have been in jail years ago but power in Hollywood is a dangerous thing.

I think that our society's putting Bill Cosby in jail was a ridiculous thing to do. I feel he should be immediately released and sent to a court-ordered psychiatrist. In addition to that, I think he should be required to pay restitution to all persons and groups involved by his formerly problematic behavior. This is because sending him to jail hardly "teaches" him not to continue the bad behavior (which he has probably already figured out by himself) , it requires a lot of tax dollars from me, and does absolutely nothing toward either making him a member of society again once his court ordered stuff has been completed or do anything to make his victims feel better.

No I do not. I do not believe the allegations against him either. And even if something did happen no woman should be able to come up 30 to 40 years after she has sex with a man and say he raped her.

You need to consult a psychiatrist on all the reasons women can take this long to break their silence. These women aren't gaining anything by accusing him of these crimes. There are also far too many varied and detailed stories to think this is all made up on the part of the women. I hate the term, but I'm tired of rape culture.

first of all I hate what he did. Not sure about the jail time.
