29. No one is blaming the victims

Sun Apr 5, 2015, 07:50 PM

Apr 2015

However, some questions remain. Not all of Cosby's victims were powerless women or who depended upon being in his good graces.

Cosby is scum and I wish he rots in hell. That is not the point. My heart goes out to the victims and if one of them was my daughter or sister, there would be far less smugness on Bill Cosby's face.

I simply wanted a more complete picture from the victims that have come forward.

Asking for additional info doesn't mean one is not believing or blaming the victim.
