24. what brought tears to my eyes is his complaint
Tue Jun 10, 2014, 06:49 PM
Jun 2014

was only that she was underage. And I'm pissed off that he said their mothers should be ashamed of THEMSELVES rather than ashamed of their SONS for what their SONS did. It puts the blame not on the men that were sexually assaulting a teenager but on their mothers who had fuck all to do with it.... but trust a man to blame a woman anyway.

It further pisses me off that he saw what happened and didn't even have the men thrown out of the concert much less arrested.

Yes, it's great that he stopped the show to rage at them for what they did, but he didn't do anything tangible about a crime he witnessed other than telling them basically to not do it "again" and blamed their mothers for it rather then them. The FIRST time should have had them arrested. If these men had punched someone security would have been on their asses dragging them out to face law enforcement, but sexual assault of a teenager doesn't even earn getting thrown out of the concert. It isn't treated like the violent crime it is and got treated like an "oops".

And just why the hell do people even bother taking video that's not only so narrow but sideways! And then to bother putting it on YouTube.

Not a fan - and Lewis's attempt at a faux-country career was just awful - but good for them. Really. nomorenomore08 Jun 2014 #10
generally a great rant -- however, I find it ironic that he blames the mothers fishwax Jun 2014 #18
