Bill Cosby bust removed from Walt Disney World after online petition grabs attention - Polidicks

[quote=Inside The Magic] Starting today, theme park visitors to Walt Disney World will notice a subtle change at the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame Plaza at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Yesterday, a Walt Disney World spokesperson stated that the bronze bust of comedian Bill Cosby would be removed after the park closed from normal operations Tuesday evening – and it was. The move came after an online petition began drawing attention to the recently controversial public figure. It may be a surprise to some, but Disney is no stranger when it comes to distancing itself from controversial subjects, including entertainment personalities. The bust, now removed, was in the park since 1994.[/quote] [img]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b196/Starmenclock/BillCosbyFree_zpsb9kum0vl.jpg[/img] [url=http://www.insidethemagic.net/2015/07/bill-cosby-bust-removed-from-walt-disney-world-after-online-petition-grabs-attention/]Source[/url]. I am actually a little surprised they haven't done this sooner, and it took an internet petition to get it removed.

The truth is sad, but a rapist should not have a statue in a family park.

oh well im sure disney will demolish the ride within 10 years anyway

[QUOTE=meppers;48151300]oh well im sure disney will demolish the ride within 10 years anyway[/QUOTE] What ride? This was in a plaza part of the park.

Surprised they distance themselves from him sooner like everybody else. Good on them, though.

[QUOTE=Starlight 456;48150600]The truth is sad, but a rapist should not have a statue in a family park.[/QUOTE] And when has he been proven guilty of rape?

[QUOTE=Silence I Kill You;48151578]And when has he been proven guilty of rape?[/QUOTE] He admitted to attempt rape, we know that for sure and that's enough to tell him to fuck off.

[QUOTE=Silence I Kill You;48151578]And when has he been proven guilty of rape?[/QUOTE] Dude's been accused of being a rapist by 40 women. At least one have them has to be telling the truth, no?

[QUOTE=Lambeth;48151726]Dude's been accused of being a rapist by 40 women. At least one have them has to be telling the truth, no?[/QUOTE] As far as legal rulings go, just because a lot of people say something doesn't mean someone should automatically be thought of as guilty before any actual trial is done.

[QUOTE=Lambeth;48151726]Dude's been accused of being a rapist by 40 women. At least one have them has to be telling the truth, no?[/QUOTE] No, at least one of them [I]could[/I] be telling the truth. though the evidence is pretty concrete at this point.

[QUOTE=Silence I Kill You;48151578]And when has he been proven guilty of rape?[/QUOTE] I actually had a lot of faith in Bill Cosby being innocent because I thought he was a great guy and even I don't buy that shit anymore he himself admitted to trying to drug women, believe he said that he actually had at one point, and 40 people are already stacked against him

More people claiming something does not make it true. However, having the culprit admit to it does.

[QUOTE=Mort Stroodle;48151761]However, having the culprit admit to it does.[/QUOTE] Funny because that isn't always the case either.

[QUOTE=itisjuly;48151583]He admitted to attempt rape, we know that for sure and that's enough to tell him to fuck off.[/QUOTE] He admitted to drugging women who he wanted to have sex with. All you can say for sure, from that admission is that he is guilty of drugging women. You can't prove that he actually raped them from that.

[QUOTE=itisjuly;48151779]Funny because that isn't always the case either.[/QUOTE] anything is possible I guess, but Cosby did sorta admit it

[QUOTE=Silence I Kill You;48151802]He admitted to drugging women who he wanted to have sex with. All you can say for sure, from that admission is that he is guilty of drugging women.

[QUOTE=Swiket;48151835]Still, Starlight_456's point is right: Disney shouldn't be honoring a man who admitted to buying drugs for the intent of rape.[/QUOTE] I don't disagree with Disney's actions. I disagree with calling him a rapist without evidence, or taking actions on the assumption that he's a rapist without solid proof that he is one.

[QUOTE=Silence I Kill You;48151919]I don't disagree with Disney's actions. I disagree with calling him a rapist without evidence, or taking actions on the assumption that he's a rapist without solid proof that he is one.[/QUOTE] The courts have to assume innocent before proven guilty. I don't.

[QUOTE=Silence I Kill You;48151919]I don't disagree with Disney's actions.

If his personal admission that he intended to, or did indeed rape women isn't enough, then I don't know what is.

When 40 individuals all come forward over an extremely long period of time, all with fairly detailed accounts of being raped by the same guy, it's probably best to prepare for the worst and at least try and stop yourself from ignoring the claims, because no group of normal people could keep a conspiracy of that size quiet.

Attempt rape still makes you a rapist in my eyes even if you didn't actually commit the act of rape.

[QUOTE=Silence I Kill You;48152049]Addressed that here: Addressed this here:[/QUOTE] I'm not calling him a rapist without evidence, you're ignoring a blatant admission of guilt by the man himself.

[QUOTE=itisjuly;48152121]Attempt rape still makes you a rapist in my eyes even if you didn't actually commit the act of rape.[/QUOTE] So you don't believe someone has to have committed a crime to be considered guilty of a crime? [QUOTE=Starlight 456;48152139]I'm not calling him a rapist without evidence, you're ignoring a blatant admission of guilt by the man himself.[/QUOTE] Where did he admit to the act of rape? I've not seen this in any of his admissions.

[QUOTE=Silence I Kill You;48152160]So you don't believe someone has to have committed a crime to be considered guilty of a crime?[/QUOTE] No, I do not believe he is rapist based on legal criminal laws. I do believe he deserves title of a rapist though.

[QUOTE=Silence I Kill You;48152160] Where did he admit to the act of rape? I've not seen this in any of his admissions.[/QUOTE] he admitted to successfully drugging [I]at least[/I] one woman with the intent of raping her. it wasn't specified whether he carried out the actual rape afterwards, but he admitted to attempting to rape her. we have a man who admits that he he attempted to rape someone, and doesn't specify whether his attempt was successful or not, who has also been accused by 40 women of rape. there are laws that prevent a court from prosecuting him based on this information, but we as logical human beings can say beyond any reasonable doubt that bill cosby has raped someone.

[QUOTE=Silence I Kill You;48152160] Where did he admit to the act of rape? I've not seen this in any of his admissions.[/QUOTE] are you for real? Cosby attempted to drug a good amount of women, so he could have sex with them. think about this, he's trying to drug a person in order to have sex with them? that sounds like rape. especially when these women want to sue him, and one wants to press criminal charges against him for his actions. an attorney even tried to ask him if he was using the drugs without the knowledge of the women he drugged, and he did not answer.

What next, is Nick@Nite gonna cancel the Cosby Show reruns? Is eBay gonna pull everything with his face down? Man censorship has gotten crazy these days. Puddinpops not hate
