Cosby spokespeople say he will host town halls teaching how to avoid being accused of sexual assault

http://www.tmz.com/2017/06/22/bill-cosby-teach-youth-how-to-avoid-sexual-assault-accusations/

Cosby's spokespeople, Andrew Wyatt and Ebonee Benson, told "Good Day Alabama" Wednesday the comedian is planning a series of town halls this summer to educate young people about sexual assault.

More specifically, they say he's planning on teaching 'em how to look out for warning signs from potential victims and handle accusations that could follow.

Wyatt says Cosby's gonna start his new tour of sorts in July, explaining that young people -- especially athletes -- need to "know what they're facing when they're hanging out and partying, when they're doing certain things that they shouldn't be doing."

Ok, listen up people.

If you want to avoide being accused of sexual assault, DON'T sexually assault people.

End of lesson. Any questions?

Finally put my finger on it.
Back when I had a tv , Jerry Springer type shows were popular and people were pushing and shoving to get on the show, and I have no doubt were coached before airtime on how to maximize their behavior.
Now nothing is too outrageous for cellphone cameras to put up on Youtube, and we had a Presidential candidate who instigated violence during the primaries, and continues to do so while desecrating the WH.

Now we have perpetrators of crime acting like victims and getting rewarded for it.
wasn't all that long ago that Cosby would have hidden his face in his jacket during teh walk from the car to the courthouse.

I am very seriously quite concerned how this will all play out before the pendulum swings the other way.
