The Masting of Chief Cosby

What? He got busted? How, why? UA, DUI, cussed out a officer? What he get?

The Captain found him guilty? 30 and 30? Nope. (NJP for you not in the know)

A Court-Martial? Nope.

An Act of Congress? Nope.

By decree of Lord Poseidon himself? Nope.

Ray Maybus, Secretary of the Navy, said so. That’s it. No judge, not jury, other than that of the Liberal Media and the ignorance and random outrage of social media. That is all.

Side Note One: (I would have loved to been a fly on the wall when who ever brought this up the chain and how low or how high it started from. I would also love to see how many emails and memos and PowerPoint slides were generated because of this. We don't have a Navy to run or anything silly like that.)

Side Note 2: (I will grant that the US Navy, and the US military as a whole has a sexual assault problem. This, sexual assault, is a problem of humans, not a problem of Sailors. This problem, in the military, in my opinion, has been highlighted by increased reporting, not by increased sexual assaults. Any sexual assault is bad, that is not in question. So this is a touchy subject for the Navy and our military, and our Colleges for that matter. But remember, Bill Cosby is not the US Navy or even in the US Navy.)

Back to my rant...

Accusations now equals guilt.

But he’s not a “real” Chief. No shit Sherlock. But he is a real human, and a real American, and in our country and our system, he has rights and protections and assumptions under the law. Specifically the right and legal protection/legal assumption to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Not presumed and found guilty by the internet and lame stream media until he dies. Which is what will and is happening. Bill Cosby will die, most likely soon. Reputation destroyed. The women who made accusations will fall back to obscurity and it will all be forgotten. Then at the Hollywood I love me shows, they might, but probably won’t, do a little montage of Bill Cosby along with the other Hollywood types we “lost” in the past year. No trail. No jury. No judge. Accused and found guilty all in the same breath.

Is Chief, I mean Bill Cosby guilty, I would go with a 99% yes, but that doesn’t matter. He is accused, not convicted, not found guilty, but accused of rape and sexual assault. Just as Bill Clinton was/is accused of rape and sexual assault. Is Bill Clinton guilty, I would go with a 98% yes. They both have had accusations and settlements in the past, not just one, but numerous each. But we seem to love and celebrate and admire the white Bill, the one whose wife thinks she should be the next POTUS, along with most of the lame stream liberal media. And the other Bill, well he is an old tired black man. He’s in the “pants up, don’t loot crowd” not the “hands up, don’t shoot” crowd. He’s an easy sacrifice and distraction. Let him die. Al Sharpton probably signed the death warrant personally.

But wait, what? Bill Clinton what? Yes, it is true, he is not the gentle statesman, grandfather, semi vegetarian and possible future first man the media shows us. He’s a ladies’ man, consent encouraged, but not required.

Here’s the problem. The real problem. We are letting public opinion be the judge, jury and executioner over random people and acts. This is dangerous. Just as it is dangerous, literally in Ferguson (police in the right) and New York (police in the wrong) and UVA (don't know a damn thing about this one, just know there is new doubt) as some recent examples. Letting the people and media decide has lead to real death and real destruction. Continuing this will not fix our broken and or flawed system, but only make it deliver or not deliver justice more randomly and lead to the ruining of more lives either through false guilt or false innocence. And it will encourage more sentences to be handed down by popular opinion via the news media and internet. I wonder how long until regular people will get to carry out the sentences as well? Maybe the person who’s youtube video has the most hits will get to be a special guest hangman or headsman?

So to all the Facebook and media lawyers, or as well call them in the Navy, Sea Lawyers, stand fast, calm the eff down. Get some facts. Let the justice system work or not. You, on the internet, is/are not the justice system.

And in other ridiculous and lame news about ridiculous and lame people.
