No, I'm saying that I have a major problem with someone looking the other way over multiple vicious beatings of a child. Edited July 10, 2018 by shrader Quote
Weave Posted July 10, 2018 Report Posted July 10, 2018 Let’s just assume the worst about what a member posts instead of recognizing that an internet forum is a lousy communication medium and giving the benefit of the doubt and asking for clarification. That seems productive. 3 Quote

LGR4GM Posted July 10, 2018 Report Posted July 10, 2018 Hey... just poppin in... There are now unconfirmed reports that McCoy sent "a couple of dudes" to do this and that this girl was his ex gf who refused to leave one of his houses. Quote
Eleven Posted July 10, 2018 Report Posted July 10, 2018 1 hour ago, Hoss said: It took six posts to victim blame. Impressive. The alleged victim and the accuser (i.e., the person who made the instagram post) are different people. If the accuser knew of child abuse and didn't come forward, the accuser is completely blameworthy. Quote
LTS Posted July 10, 2018 Report Posted July 10, 2018 Well, regardless of not having said anything in the past. This is in the open now. In one way or another it will be addressed. Just waiting to see how it plays out. Quote

And before this triggers another wave of finger pointing, I mean that in the most generic sense possible. Did that post come from the bloodied girl? A friend who saw it all? A friend who heard it from someone else? Someone who doesn't actually know either person? A neighbor? Aud Smell? Quote

Quote A friend of McCoy’s girlfriend, Delicia Cordon, has posted what is claimed to be a photo of Cordon with graphic facial injuries, along with a message that contends McCoy is responsible for them. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/07/10/report-bills-aware-of-allegations-against-lesean-mccoy/ I will note other stories have said Cordon is an Ex GF at this time.

Thwomp! Posted July 10, 2018 Report Posted July 10, 2018 His Instagram statement is not the best, and could point to this sending someone else to do it, but we'll see how it plays out. I'm speaking of the word "direct" in his statement. It's unnecessary if you've had no contact at all with the person in months. Basically the difference between "direct contact" and just saying "contact". 28 minutes ago, LGR4GM said: Hey... just poppin in...

Hoss Posted July 10, 2018 Report Posted July 10, 2018 Regardless of what the truth is this woman is a victim of some form of physical violence. There’s now multiple people accusing McCoy and claiming he’s got a reputation for such acts. And while the two stories presented by friends of the victim differ it doesn’t mean neither are true or false. When something this extreme happens people lose their minds. Emotions are high and everybody wants somebody to pay for what happened. We’ll see who is responsible. Quote

I wait for more facts. Exactly. I probably reacted too early but "I ignored child abuse but I will not ignore this" was how that the initial post read to me. To me, there's an inconsistency in the whole way that thing was listed out. It's entirely possible that it was done during an overly emotional state, but everything about it leaves a sick feeling in my stomach. I'm sure it's a cultural/generational thing, but if something like this is happening, I'm not running to social media immediately. I at least get police involvement, especially when it's something I want to make public. Maybe they did, but I would hope that someone from a media source like WGR (that was the initial one posted here, correct?) would find that record before posting his/her response. I have a very obvious bias against social media postings as a whole. I'm sure that is very obvious. Quote
