Really? You're all a bunch of amateurs. This was on par with what I was expecting.

She's all dolled up in that picture, but I suspect under normal daily conditions, she is probably a little ugly. She seems to have the Shawn Horcoff, half-face sagginess happening.

Theoron Fleury talks about this in his book. He said that Graham James was really friendly with him and asked him a lot of questions about his personal life. Fleury described that James was trying to find out how involved, interested, Fleury's parents were in his life. Obviously Theoron's dad was a drunk and his mom was a junkie. So James knew that Theoron was a safe target.

I agree that on first impression, my first reaction was to brush it off jokingly. But in reality the severity of the alleged crime is similar to what Graham James did to countless boys as a junior coach. For that reason I just cannot engage in the humor of this thread. People really have to put the lesbian porn tapes down and look at this rationally, that somewhere in the city there's a 13 year old girl who's life has been forever impacted.

The beautiful thing about the media is that it no longer matters if she's guilty or innocent. Even if she comes out of this having all charges dismissed, she's still going to have to pack everything up and move to the other side of the planet to get away from it.

Not just the media either. Regular people are at fault for believing the media BS and judging before anyone is found guilty or not.
As has been said many times before the mantra of "innocent until proven guilty" is total BS. It is guilty until proven innocent (but even then your life is ruined).

I made a couple of wisecracks in the "Man dies in Pasta Machine" thread because despite the fact that someone died (RIP), it was a pretty bizzare and kinda hilarious way to go. I could see some humor in it.
I'm not entirely sure that (alleged) sexual abuse is ever funny, but certainly not in a clear-cut case of Authority v. Vulnerability. I just don't see where the humor comes from in this case.
I've made this point in the past, and I'll reiterate it. The fact that Pedo Bear and Pedo Jokes show up on this forum is pretty pathetic. I'm amazed that Bingo let's it happen.....I'd bring down the Mega-Banhammer on people who post Pedo Bear (etc) stuff because they think it's funny.

I agree totally. It should be Anonymous until proven guilty.
Then post pics. Not before.

Or.....
Somewhere in the city a vindictive 13 year old girl has just ruined a coaches life and career for some unknown reason under false accusations...
Another dedicated volunteer or future perspective ones have been turned off from dedicating their time for fear of such a situation as this.
I will wait for the whole story....

EVERY news story basically is turned into funny within the first page on CP. Just open the news and close the CP page if jokes about (whether it's is or not) inappropriate topics bother you.

Yeah I wonder if some of these guys have friends in real life. Joking about current events is basically what all my friendships revolve around.

Maybe they just have family members that were sexually assaulted......perhaps they themselves have been a victim.
Dunno, some real-life events just aren't funny. To each their own, but I tend to draw the line at violent and/or sexual crimes (allegedly).
