Kentucky State Rep. Dan Johnson commits suicide on bridge in Mt. Washington posted by freeper gop4lyf

Why, you ask? Well...

the article posted:

On Tuesday, Johnson held a press conference at his church on Bardstown Road, where he denied the molestation allegations. According to court documents obtained by the Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting, the alleged molestation took place on New Year's Eve in 2012. The alleged victim, who was 17 at the time, told authorities that she was staying in a living area of the Heart of Fire City Church where Johnson was pastor, when Johnson, who had been drinking a lot, approached her, kissed her and fondled her under her clothes.

Johnson was never criminally charged.

The thread is one giant flamewar between multiple factions arguing about a) his political affiliation, b) whether or not it's OK for pedos to kill themselves, c) whether he was a pedo (no, just a molester), and of course, d) the definition of being a pedo

I think freep might be a little wound up right now.

He was accused, not convicted and not even charged. And we’ve seen what happens when men in public office are accused of sexual misconduct. Presumed guilty and not even provided the opportunity to prove their innocence.

So in the end he executed himself.

Prayers for him and his family.

The Rat Party has unleashed a monster that will be hard to control.Of course it's easy to believe accusations against vermin like Weinstein and other showbiz pigs but charges against public office holders must be viewed with enormous caution.

My attitude has been,since the charges were lodged against Judge Moore,that accusations against Republicans are lies until proven otherwise.

Remember folks,Dirty Harry claimed that Romney hadn't paid taxes in years.After the election he proudly proclaimed that it was a brilliant lie that resulted in Romney's defeat.

And also remember that DJT was said to have hired a hooker in Moscow...

I'm going to be fair to Alabama here: every state that isn't one of the the three prime BBQ states has some wackjob who comes along eventually and declares that they have created their state's "Official" state BBQ, and since all normal manner of decent sweet, spicy, and vinegar-y combinations is already covered under the umbrella of an existing locale BBQ, this new BBQ always loving sucks and nobody much actually eats it.

Like, according to all internet sources Kentucky's state BBQ is supposedly a Worcestershire-based sauce used on mutton -- God knows why, sheep aren't that popular here and if anything you'd think it'd be a bourbon based sauce -- but I have seen exactly two places serve this "Kentucky" BBQ, and one of them is closed now.

You're crazy if you think the loss in Alabama had anything to do with Trump or conservatism. Trump would win the state by about the same margin he won last year if the election were held today.

The loss was the result of sabotage by the Republican establishment.

What I'm worried about is the the fact the Republican establishment would rather lose than do what its base wants.

If you want to start the most vicious flamewar you’ll ever see on SA, go into the LAN thread for any of the southern states and tell them their bbq method is terrible. That gets out of hand fast :stare:

When I left Texas and moved to DC for work, I started dating a woman from South Carolina. We had a cute schtick of pretending to begrudge each other's regional style of barbecue... but it tended to quickly get less-cute and take on some hostile sincerity.

I still argue that barbecue is properly beef brisket with some burning on the ends, and that just putting a pig in a hole in the ground doesn't make it "barbecue".

In DC I also encountered the horror of UK/Irish/Australian people referring to grilling as "barbecuing".

That is literally the definition of Barbeque. Like, I could understand if someone got weird and puritan about pig being the only true barbeque, and beef being fake, even if it was dumb wierd food elitism, but claiming beef is the true BBQ is just silly.

I have never met anyone who says grilling instead of Barbeque.
