Depending on your definition, yes. Acknowledging that reality does not mean that I am minimizing sexual assault.

Mrs Bush was at his side. He is in a wheelchair with Parkinson's syndrome. Really? Someone should be ashamed and it isn't '41.




I don't understand. Who should be ashamed? Also why does being in a wheelchair exonerate him?

She said he's in a wheelchair with Parkinson's, which damages cognitive and motor function... and that the media/public should be ashamed for automatically jumping to the worst possible conclusion.

Imagine you are in the position of somebody who gets groped, and has somebody make a joke about groping you while you are surrounded by other people. That would make you feel incredibly uncomfortable. Also imagine feeling like you can't speak out or call out the fact that this happened because the man is one of the most powerful people on Earth. Are you supposed to smile and say "shucks, George has Parkinsons!" and ignore your discomfort?

No, it was wrong, and his family released a statement apologizing for the incident. However, he is an old, sick man who has limited mobility and is slowly losing control of his body and mind, so it is reasonable to give him some benefit of the doubt here.

OK, Badger, these are valid points, but let's consider this: it's unfair and unreasonable to expect from a woman subjected to a sexual misdemeanor to think like "hm, now let's consider all possible mitigating and aggravating factors".
The woman felt violated no matter the circumstances, but it is reasonable to expect the media and the public to consider the factors involved, yes.

That's not how our country works , in our country you are innocent until proven guilty.
Innocence in a court of law is not the same thing as moral absolution.
