    If you don't care about the perpetrator and you don't care about the victim… as you declared above - why would the scandal cause you to care enough to post? Your claims are contradictory and are not convincing.

    The amoral tone in your posts comes across as condoning such actions as this vicious assault, that the only thing he did wrong was getting caught.

    Such a view is reinforced by refusing to give straight answers to a simple question like:

    "Do you think it is ok to beat a woman like that?"

    "To follow knowledge like a sinking star..." (Tennyson's Ulysses)

    I am reading and contributing for the same reason as many others. It entertains me and I am intrigued to (maybe) find out about how the network operated. I don’t see why I need to justify my interest to you, or who you think you are to demand that people answer any question that you throw at them.

    My moral view on the matter is irrelevant. What he did is a crime, so it’s black and white, and not a moral question. I do not condone the attack, but it’s not a moral question for me.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,702 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    Criminal acts can also be subject to moral judgment. The moral reinforces the legal. Both are important. We see this for offences \ misdemeanours that are deemed illegal but perhaps not immoral. In the past such conduct towards women may have been nominally illegal, but not subject to social \ moral condemnation - and appear to have been more common \ tolerated. It is important to reinforce that this is an act both illegal and morally reprehensible.

    Would you express a moral judgment if it was reprehensible conduct that was not illegal? Or would you fall back to another excuse or expression of disinterest?

    There are no demands in my posts and the reason why you were quite reasonably asked to explain your interest in the thread is when you replied to my post with a statement like this where you declare such disinterest:

    "I do not care about people, and that includes most victims of any sort, as well as perpetrators."

    After such a statement, it is entirely reasonable to ask then why you are interested in the topic at all.

    But we'll leave you at being "entertained" and "intrigued" by how a network of sex and drug traffickers operate - rather than, as might be expected, concerned and hopeful that law enforcement can shut down such operations.

    Moral judgment is not something that interests me much, although there are some things that will make me angry. Violence against people does not interest me unless I care about the person. I have explained this before.

    Thank you, I hope you enjoy the topic as well.

    The apology was pathetic.
    Only sorry he was caught.
    No defence for this saddo.

    Don’t think this is the end either, only the beginning.

    As for the victim blaming here…pathetic

    Yeah I can't with the whole "why did she choose to stay?" crap. If it was that simple then no one would ever be the victim of prolonged domestic abuse. Unfortunately, it isn't. Victim blaming doesn't help anything.

    Imagine what he was like behind closed doors if he could act that way in a public place and knowing there would be cameras

    How has he not be arrested with all the allegations yet? I know there only allegations but the FBI raided his houses surely the found something to arrest and hold him.. R kelly 2.0



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,505 ✭✭✭✭Boggles


    Mixture of things. The majority of the allegations are historical so the criminal statue of limitations has expired.

    He is alleged to have been involved in "sex trafficking" that is federal so that is why the FBI raided his houses.

    But they are only allegations, to get something like that into a criminal trial you obviously need solid evidence, willing victims and witnesses. It also obviously needs to be true.

    This scum bag is beyond wealthy, he can pay for silence like he did for that poor misfortunate lady in the video or he can fight any criminal charges with a massive war chest to spend on fancy lawyers.

    A docuseries about the allegations of sexual abuse, rape and sex trafficking against rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs has landed at Netflix months after its producer, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, started teasing the project and posters for a fake documentary started making the rounds on social media

    Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs arrested in New York, his attorney tells CNN

    Combs – who has been in New York City since last week – was arrested Monday at the Park Hyatt Hotel on 57th Street in Manhattan and taken into custody by Homeland Security Investigations at approximately 8:15 p.m., a source familiar with the negotiations tells CNN.

    The arrest was made based on an indictment that is expected to be unsealed Tuesday morning, according to a statement from Damian Williams, US attorney for the Southern District of New York.

    The charges and details of the case against Combs are unclear at this time.

    Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested late on Monday in New York, where he faces a sealed criminal indictment, prosecutors announced late on Monday.

    Details of the charges were not immediately announced by prosecutors, but the hip-hop mogul has faced a stream of allegations by women in recent months who accused him of sexual assault.

    The US attorney in Manhattan, Damian Williams, said in a statement that federal agents arrested Combs, adding: “We expect to move to unseal the indictment in the morning and will have more to say at that time.”

    Looks like they waited until the case was airtight before making a move?

    Diddly.

    he’s nearly 55…. If convicted it sounds like he’d be looking at some serious time, fella might even die in prison….

    You’d want to be some absolute fool to get yourself hundreds of millions in wealth, you can live like a king for every day of your existence but instead end up doing 15-20 because you’re a rapey toe rag.

    Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs charged with racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking

    "We are not done. This investigation is ongoing," New York US attorney says

    He's in a world of trouble. Sounds pretty damning already, and his whole house of cards might collapse in on itself.

    It's all going down.

    They have video of the freak off parties. Some tightly clenched celeb bum holes about this evening. Beyonce be giving Jay Z some grilling.

    a former model said he drugged and sexually assaulted her in a fresh lawsuit

    Never understood drugging women for sex. I think 50 cent said it best recently "What are these guys doing? how you meant to connect with a woman if shes drugged?"

    Diddy's a scumbag. Hope he gets put away for a long time.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,816 ✭✭✭EltonJohn69


    there may be asset forfeiture because of the racketeering charges. Even if he takes a plea deal he is looking at at least serving a decade in jail at a minimum.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,605 ✭✭✭silliussoddius


    It will take a lot of songs that rip off other artists that require him to pay royalties to pay for this.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,563 ✭✭✭OscarMIlde


    Presume the arson charges are for the car bombs he ordered planting. I can't get over just how dangerous he was.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,392 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Real reason The Police are involved Diddy didn't pay Sting the royalties for sampling I'll be watching you.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,045 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    There's talk that Comb's lawyers are going to offer $15 million for bail when he appears in court later this evening. Prosecution are opposed to bail, and given Comb's propensity for witness intimidation, I hope the judge takes that into consideration.

    The gangster rap scene was riddled with scum bags, the various rivalries was like a bunch of 12 year olds turned up to 11.

    Judge denies 50 Million dollar bail for Diddy

    The rapper will stay in detention in New York as he awaits his trial.

    In deciding to deny Diddy bail, Tarnofsky said she has 'very significant concerns' about Combs’ substance abuse and 'what appears to be anger issues.'

    Tarnofsky said she considered alternatives but doesn’t think it’s sufficient because so much of what’s alleged happened behind closed doors



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,523 ✭✭✭badabing106


    Where will Diddy be held as he awaits trial?

    • While it remains unconfirmed, it is likely that Diddy will await trial at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York.
    • It is the same facility where Jeffrey Epstein killed himself while awaiting trial.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,416 ✭✭✭jj880


    Jay Z still not answering Id say 😅

    Wonder when we'll see 50 cent's series on Diddy.

    If he has anything remotely similar to Diddy that could come out he's not acting like it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,026 ✭✭✭✭pgj2015


    im not even saying that but 50 cent isnt a good guy at all in my opinion, he is friends with mayweather one minute, then when they fall out he makes fun of the fact he cant read, he is a bully and not a nice guy.

    I often see clips of him on youtube giving advice like he is some wise old monk, its ridiculous, he is a gangster rapper, not one of the great minds of his generation.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,416 ✭✭✭jj880


    Sure. I wouldn't say 50 cent is a nice guy either but this thread is about Diddy the next Epstein / R Kelly so unless we're talking about similar allegations I think we're getting a bit off topic.

    I'm not surprised he's been denied bail.
