why do it? he has soo much more to lose than she does. why force it? because he's a "star"? i don't think so.... if he was a B athlete maybe.. but not him...

Mike Tyson, R Kelly.... beats me.

Considering none of us know him personally I wouldn't say he didnt do it.

Every report I have seen has said that she went to the police/hospital the next day (July 1st) and that Bryant was arrested and taken to the hospital the following day (July 2nd).

So you are suggesting that the law should not apply to Kobe because he's a skilled athlete? That's absolutely ridiculous. They have basically charged Kobe with rape and if the woman felt that she was raped she has every right to charge him.

I think he is saying Kobe is a dumbass when he has everything and can get everything he wants/needs.

AccardoOutfit29 · 07-18-2003, 07:22 PM

Ahh, I see. Read that wrong there.

darkcloud4579 · 07-18-2003, 07:28 PM

right, that's precisely what i was saying. thanks spleen.

it just seems crazy to me that he'd give all that away for a little action. not the adultery part really gets me, its just sooo incredibly stupid to go up there, get some girl and figure "oh, she won't say anything".

she was a former cheerleader..hello?! i know, that's a terrible stereotype. but..uh, we're gonna sit and talk about athlete stereotypes, we might as well do it across the board.

seriously though, i hope she wasn't hurt or "traumatized" by this event forever..

but at the same time, i hope Kobe didn't do it. Not because of any love for the athlete, but because of just how DUMB it was.

Unfortunately, even if the woman knows she wasn't raped but wants to hold Bryant over the coals to get some cash, she "has every right" to charge him.

I just hope he gets a fair trial back in good ole boy country with that hick sheriff and Ivy League prosecutor.

Don't worry, I hear they will be looking for at least 6 jurors who roll up one pants leg to make it a fair trial.

Exactly what I was thinking.

What are the odds that they settle for a sum of cash, out of court and they drop the charges?

Uncalled for.

Based on Black Lightning's implication, absolutely not.

Is this a joke? I don't understand it.

Yes, it is a joke and in my opinion a very distasteful one. I'll let GForce explain it if he cares to.

I agree. If you throw out something that racist, he deserves to be called racist.

Just because it isn't LA , doesn't mean they won't give him a fair trial.

magnet · 07-18-2003, 08:23 PM

fair trials are hard to come by with jurors.

in my Law class, we watched some jury deliberations from arizona...

remind me never to go there. the jurors hung everyone out to dry, even when the evidence was completely stacked in the defenses favor

edit: oh, and some 14 year old buy was shot 5 times with a shotgun outside some guys yard. the guy thought the kid was going to rob his house, but he was just walking by. the man had previous offenses of discharging a firearm in a residential neighborhood.

arizona jury let him off.

Whatever.

Black Lightning's obvious implication was this was a few white guys looking to rip Kobe, with the white "hick" sheriff and Ivy Leaguer (the nerve of his intelligence)...so to assuage his fears, I assured him that they would have at least six people with a traditionally black apparel characteristic on the jury just to make things fair for Kobe.

I don't see why someone making a distasteful statement (Black Lightning) automatically requires another one in response (GForce). Can't you just tell him you didn't appreciate the statement, without retaliating? You're lowering yourself to his level.
