61-year-old Humble Preparatory Academy first grade teacher, Ester Irene Stokes is using a very disturbing defense after being accused of fondling a seven-year-old student, she claims she couldn’t possibly have touched the child because the alleged victim is black and she is a racist.
What kind of human being, much less a person employed to shape the minds of young kids, decides “well, this is a great idea for getting out of this sex offender thing, I’ll just say I’m a racist. Score!”. – Better A Racist Than A Pedophile Be, Apparently from Angry Black Lady Chronicals on TWIB
So, its not that you wouldn’t molest a kid , you just won’t molest a black one? This is a whole new flavor of terrible.
On today’s #TWiBRadio, we talk about the food pyramid of crime suspects, poison in the mail makes a comeback, and fat shaming Kim Kardashian.

People have used the “I am appalling person but not a criminal” defense for years.

You don’t go to prison for being an asshole.
Jerzy Russian
OK, that is really fucked up. Please pardon me while I go sniff some glue, which seems to be less harmful to the brain than reading the latest news.

@Omnes Omnibus: Seems to work for Rush.

Ahh, yes. The “I’m a bastard, but I’m not THE bastard you’re looking for” defense.
ETA–tornado just hit Lawton, OK. My Niece is homeless, but OK.

@YellowJournalism: William Smith, the Kennedy cousin, used a version of it in his rape trial. A big part of his defense was that what had happened was consensual, but afterwards he forgot her name and she got pissed off.
the Conster
I couldn’t be a rapist, I hate women!
Omnes Omnibus
@Soonergrunt: Glad your niece is okay, but I would be lying if I said that there weren’t times when I wanted something horrible to happen to Lawton.
Soonergrunt
@Omnes Omnibus: Roger that. Supposedly the tornado went right up Sill Blvd through the middle of the city and hit at least part of the main cantonment on Fort Sill.

Waiting for the arbiter of all things molestation and rape Douche & Bag to show up here so we can all know how to feel.

@Soonergrunt: Strip clubs okay?
Soonergrunt
@Omnes Omnibus: Some probably got hit, but they’ll recover quicker than other businesses, I’m sure. It’s not like you need a big infrastructure to run that business, after all.
MikeJ
@Soonergrunt: The electronic gear can get pricey (lights, pa, etc) and liquor stocks are pretty vulnerable.
Omnes Omnibus
@Soonergrunt: True. I am just trying to remember what else is in Lawton. I stepped on some cactus thing at Sill that put a spike through the steel shank in my jungle boot. I can’t stand that place. I don’t wish harm on the residents – living there is punishment enough.
Yutsano
@Omnes Omnibus: Oh shit. I’ll have to check in with a friend who was just transferred there. Hope he’s okay, he’s got four little ones to look after.
Soonergrunt
@MikeJ: Two guys with flashlights, a boom-box, a couple of bottles of watered-down booze and you’re there.
@Omnes Omnibus: I’ve been to worse places, but I did have the worst case of the screaming cheetah shits of my life at Sill. That place bites.
Soonergrunt
@Yutsano: hope they’re OK.
Yutsano
@Soonergrunt: It’ll have to wait until I get home to check for sure, but hopefully he already tried to e-mail me. I’ll keep y’all updated if I hear any word.
PS: Glad your niece emerged unscathed.
Soonergrunt
@Yutsano: She’s tougher than she thinks she is. She’ll be OK. She’s staying with a girlfriend tonight. I’m sure your buddy is fine. Reports I’m seeing say that it didn’t do a large amount of damage.

A big superstructure helps, though.

@Omnes Omnibus: Jesus, I had purged that bullshit from my brain.
I agree, TWIB crew: I too feel kind of sorry for Kim Kardashian. It’s an odd feeling.

@? Martin: Darn, you beat me to the “Strom Thurmond fathered a child with a black woman, and he was a racist…” card.
One could also mention all those white slaveholders that fathered black children… I guess they weren’t racist, either.

It’s…it’s…there are no words.
“I can’t be a rapist, I’m a serial killer!”
“I can’t have murdered all those people at My Lai, I’m a torturer!”
“I can’t have stolen the 2000 presidential election, I’m a bribe-taking grifter!”
The mind boggles…
