“Accused” is being used as a euphemism for “caught on camera”.
He complained to the restaurant that the ice cream had been drugged, so they checked the camera and saw him doing it.
Immoral and stupid, a truly republican plan.
Less “euphemism” and more technically correct legal term. It hasn’t been proven in a court of law, and he hasn’t publicly admitted guilt, even though there is (allegedly) film of him doing it. And to be clear I’m not saying he didn’t do it, he very obviously did, but news sites (good ones) have to be specific with their statements.
We really need a better word for “did it, but a court hasn’t found them guilty.”
I find it absolutely disgusting that anybody would have any kind words or try to muddy the waters in any way shape or form about the awful thing. This man was recorded on camera.
You were today years old when you found out what innocent until proven guilty means. Not just as words, but as a concept. It means even the most obviously guilty person is given the presumption of innocence until they are actually convicted. Would you like to hear some ridiculous but technically possible arguments? Maybe it was his twin brother who drugged the kids. Maybe it was a random person who looks like him. Maybe it was a faked recording. Maybe he had a mental breakdown. None likely, obviously, but each are valid defenses that need to be eliminated to prove guilt. Unless you want to live in a different legal system where they believe it is better for an innocent person to go to jail as opposed to a guilty person sometimes going free.
Ok well put I retract my previous statement. Thank you for taking the time to educate me, most people probably wouldn’t have Taking the time and/or listened, but thank you
Oh no, how terrible for media to follow standards in reporting when it comes to criminal suspects, rather than throwing these standards overboard and allowing for witch hunts. Because that would never backfire onto the people at large…
He is on tape. I’m done with you.
Thank you for going to bat for the probably pedophile old man who slipped drugs in his daughter’s ice cream, you really look good defending this man in any way shape or form, You’re doing such a great job
You’re welcome! It helps if you read the full comment instead of stopping halfway through.
I retract my previous statement, but I’m going to leave it up as a testament to my idiocy
I’m trying to understand wtf the plan was here
First off, he actually had cocaine and MDMA from somewhere?
Then he put them in ice cream
…then he complained they received the ice cream that way?
Like, wtf would be the point of that? Or did someone else catch him and he just blamed someone else…?
It’s a safe guess that the end game was molestation, but something interfered with his plan to interfere with the girls.
Maybe he wanted to manufacturer an excuse for ICE to arrest foreign-born citizens employed there. Hypothetically.
Nah, he was trying to rape his granddaughters (being a Republican- obviously this was what he was all about), they found the pills, and he tried to deflect by blaming it on the service workers.
I hate that both are equally likely.
I guarantee it. That it something equally shitty.
Further details revealed that Yokeley and the young ladies involved went to a Dairy Queen that night, close to the business’s closing time. Willett said the 16-year-old step-granddaughter was driving the vehicle after leaving the ice cream shop.
Not long after, the two girls found blue pressed pills in their ice cream. Willett said due to “concern, fear, and panic,” the step-granddaughter pulled into a nearby Sheetz gas station when she spotted an EMS vehicle and alerted paramedics of the situation on the spot.
So, he put drugs in before one of the kids was going to drive.
Thanks for the link to additional info. Sounds like he was definitely trying to harm them and they were lucky to find the pills and that the granddaughter was driving and saw that paramedics were there to pull over and contact. Who knows what might have happened if he had been driving–he might have gone on to Plan B.
Plan-B is what he would have put in their ice cream the next day after he’s done with Cosby night.
This is just a LIBRUL WITCH HUNT! Who CARES if he Put COCAINE in his Granddaughter’s Ice Cream? There’s STILL Brown People that HAVENT been Arrest yet! PROTECT THE CHILDREN! I’m NOT in a Cult!
COCAINE
If only the academy awards had a category for best punching sound effects
If I still had young kids, I wouldn’t want any Republican near them.
I wouldn’t want any of my relatives around these freaks, and no matter how old my kids get, I definitely don’t want them near Republicans.
Epstein’s Law: every accusation from a Conservative [of being guilty of a thing] is a confession [of being guilty of the thing]
why would he be roofying his granddaughter, I wonder.
Rape
If you’d read the article (I know, a lot to ask), you’d see he was doing it to set up employees of the ice cream shop for the fall
My reading skills may have deteriorated, but nowhere did I see that in this article.
Amazingly the headline is underselling what he was really doing.
Is granddaughter gave him headline?
I am shocked. SHOCKED! Well… I guess not that shocked… At all…
Honestly, forget the party affiliation because his position amounts to a nothing burger.
The fact that this horrible person put cocaine and mdma in their ice cream is fucking insane, if true.
They have video of him doing it. He tried blaming someone else.
Idiot was probably trying to manufacture an incident to further some party narrative…
Probably saw a brown kid behind the Dairy Queen counter.
Or he was trying to fuck his granddaughter.
That was my first thought too but I don’t think cocaine and MDMA make sense in that context
Hell, no, Republicans have a pedophilia problem with a P, starting with the fucking big man himself, it comes down from the top, whatthe fuck are you talking about?
I mean it’s literally in the nickname the use for themselves. G.rumpy O.ld P.edophiles
I guess this guy’s planning a run for prez.
I thought it said debugging for a moment and was about to say something about the DMCA.
