(2,805 posts)They said it was O'Reilly which sounds about right. I remember the comment and think O'reilly sounds about right.
Found it. Worse than I remembered.

(15,189 posts)I bet this asshole watches Bill O'Lielly every night. Bill said almost the same thing about that boy who was kidnapped. That he probably liked playing video games and not going to school. How come he didn't try and get away???
I hope they fire this asshole ASAP! I haven't even seen the video, but let me guess, it's a male who said it.

(247 posts)does that as@ho@e not consider how she was probably used as
pawn? Or how bout the threat of killing one if the others if one
should attempt escape?
Just a moronic statement. Anyone that fails to believe there is a
war against women, isn't paying attention.

(30,252 posts)For too many rape victims, you don't need locked doors or iron bars to keep them from escaping. They cocoon, wiring themselves into a primal survival mode. Even if there is no substantial physical injury, those poor women are hurt.

Amanda Berry, her daughter, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight weren't found. They Escaped because Amanda had the determination to squeeze her hand thorugh a hole in the screen and Charles Ramsey was a stranger who was there for her.

(12,153 posts)regarding info hed obtained from two police sources, in the house of horror there were ceiling chains in a bedroom, and the captives were sometimes cuffed to them. Also, one of the things the creep did was to pretend to leave the house, but then wait to see if one of his captives tried to escape, thinking he was gone. If one did try, he attacked and beat her. The reporter also said that when pregnancies occurred, he beat the pregnant girl in the abdomen to make her abort it. Apparently he wanted the child whos now six.
Willingness my ass!

(61,690 posts)literature says a woman may have to "comply" in order to survive. I have no doubt that that each was told that they'd kill her housemates (and the child) if one of them tried to escape.

If this agent is the norm, it is no wonder the FBI can only catch the terrorists they've set-up through entrapment operations.

(5,279 posts)....or a license a felony? Isn't psychiatry a well established branch of medicine? Didn't we, as a society, used to pick on those pretentious individuals who after a single "intro to Psychology" or "intro to criminal behavior" began to pontificate about the subject.
One would think an FBI agent would trained to avoid public displays of personal stupidity. Did somehow the line between the fiction of "Criminal Minds" and the tedium of regular police work fade? One of the things I respect the most about law enforcement personnel isn't their reactions in the far spaced out moments of terror, but the commitment needed to do the job with compassion and dedication during the day by day by day routine of patrol work.
Because this speaker was male, I feel the need to shower.
