Good riddance, you stupid tool (speaking as a Dem).

Great. I’m already hearing from my conservative friends about how “all the Democrats” are getting caught in scandals. Of course, in California’s lopsided legislature, it will take 1 Republican for every 2 Democratic scandals to reach parity.

WTF is WRONG with these people? I’m not ‘perfect’ either but people don’t slam me with ‘sexual misconduct’ accusations…ever.

These predators are literally walking away from what should be a criminal prosecution and all they have to say is “I’m not perfect”. Yes, you are, sir; you’re a perfect asshole.

Drumpf: Democrats just do not know that only Locker Room is good for this obscene behavior. They are all morally bankrupt.

Unless there are multiple witnesses and the conduct goes beyond simply groping someone for a brief time, no DA’s office and no police department has the resources to investigate and/or prosecute cases such as this. That’s why the federal government and every state government enacted laws giving to the victim a statutory cause of action against the perpetrator.

Sounds like an alcohol related incident.

This is a cultural issue that is being corrected…party affiliation does not matter. Being a sexual predator does matter…

In that case it sounds like he was drunk often over a period of years.

I’d like a primatologist to weigh in on this current crisis of male misbehavior. Males who are ineffective or incompetent at finding mates, e.g. Roy Moore, are forced into fringe behaviors. Hebephilia and even rape in Roy’s case. Similarly, this guy, who “stalked her around a nightclub and put his hands down her blouse at an after-work event” was likely seeking to take advantage of a woman who had strayed from the safety of the group. It strikes me as all these guys are so desperate that they ignore the basic principle of consent, which may arise from a distorted self-image. The problem with further stigmatizing a full spectrum of male incompetence is that it further distorts the competition for mates against a large swath of men, allowing them to stew in their isolation and failure.

In a statement released by his office, Bocanegra said he’s not guilty of any crimes, but “I am admittedly not perfect.”

That’s a polite way of saying “Yeah, I’m a sexist creep, so sue me.”

Well, maybe those laws need to be re-examined…

Distorts?

“Fucktioning” alcoholic?

Problem is, the person who was complained to, did not handle it at all. By setting the bar with a low-key address puts the perp on notice and tells all the other potential perps what is acceptable and what is not. Bad management.

Yes
