        what's the deal with the handcuffs? Is the old man dangerous, is he going to runaway?

        I'd say that's wholly symbolic. If he's in some kind of 'denial of guilt' then they & their message are hard to avoid. For those who suffered his abuses of power it serves to symbolise they now have the power conferred by the verdict.

        He deserves this sentence, BUT it's still very sad for me to see him being taken off to prison. It's almost like watching MY dad being taken away.

        All I want to know is why now? Yes he might be guilty but why not report it immediately. Please forgive me for being insensitive. #BillCosby

        Sexual assault in Hollywood or anywhere not easy to report. Women gain courage later in life when stronger and mature about threat of loss of job, humiliation and societal blame games.

        I wouldn't be surprised if a high percentage of these allegations of rape in society are false because of the filth that is feminism. This anti male rhetoric we see in the world needs to be put down like a sick dog. Women are just as bad in many ways. Humans are the worst.
