Boner Candidate #1: WHERE DO WE WEALTHY FAMOUS MEN GO FOR JUSTICE?
Bill Cosby lent his support to rapist Harvey Weinstein on Monday, asking ‘where do wealthy and famous men find fairness’ before blasting the #MeToo movement as racist. The shamed comedian, 82, instructed his spokesman to issue a public statement, calling disgraced movie producer Weinstein’s conviction ‘a very sad day’. Weinstein was convicted by a New York jury of sexually assaulting former production assistant Mimi Haleyi in his apartment in 2006 and raping aspiring actress Jessica Mann in a hotel room in 2013. It was the most high-profile sex assault conviction in the United States since Cosby was found guilty in 2018 of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman 15 years prior. Cosby’s spokesman, Andrew Wyatt, posted a statement to Instagram arguing ‘there was no way Mr. Weinstein was going to receive a fair and impartial trial’. Wyatt said Cosby was outraged over Weinstein’s conviction and called him repeatedly about it on Monday.
Boner Candidate #2: AN 11 YEAR OLD WITH AN ASSAULT RIFLE MAKES ME FEEL SAFE.
An 11-year-old girl showed up with her loaded AR-15 assault rifle before Idaho lawmakers at a committee hearing on Monday in support of a proposed gun law, and to show she was the type of person who could handle a firearm responsibly. Bailey Nielsen, accompanied by her grandfather, appeared before state lawmakers in Boise for a hearing on the proposed law. If approved, the law would allow visitors to the state, who can legally possess firearms, to carry concealed handguns within city limits. Baiely, who was silent in her appearance before the committee, had the rifle slung over her right shoulder. She let her grandfather speak on her behalf, who explained that she had been trained to properly handle a weapon since she was a young child. ‘People live in fear, terrified of that which they do not understand. She’s been shooting since she was 5 years old. She got her first deer with this weapon at 9. She carries it responsibly. She knows how not to put her finger on the trigger. We live in fear in a society that is fed fear on a daily basis,’ Charles Nielsen told the committee.
