Updates to the Kane situation

[Chief Walking Stick]

So wut do u guys think? Innocent or guilty?

 

[winos5]

Don't have enough factual evidence to form an opinion.

 

[winos5]

Do you suppose Kane listens to death metal to pump himself up while getting ready to rape and pillage honorable maidens?

Seems a bit unfair to drop him when he hasn't even been charged. I can understand why they did it though.

Well done...it never hurts to cover both sides of the equation.

Wait...what do you think animated Professor Hawking?

:farley:

Thanks for explaining it in your latest post.

I quoted DMelt. Did you need me to include arrows pointing up and a 48 pt disclaimer?

 

[italianbeef]

I don't view it like that. Big Ben seems to be doing fine in legacy as a football player. How much does this change my perception of Kane as a sloppy drunk ****** bro?

Right, I said if he's convicted. If he's not even charged, yeah, he'll probably live out his career like Big Ben. Treated well by the media types, called a rapist by opposing fans (and some of his own).

I thought you quoted me.
Arrows would be nice. I'm not against arrows.

Actually, I quoted neither of you - it was mikita's helmet who posted the article.

 

[italianbeef]

Couldn't think of a more deserving player. Amirite?

Typical toews being a terrible captain. Getting Kane kicked off the cover of nhl16.

That song sucks along with the author.

If he's charged and convicted, you gonna call him a rapist?

It's pretty hard to read through all the posts (for several reasons) but has no one brought up the Drew Doughty situation yet and how that went down? Doesn't mean it is the same or that it will play out like that, but I think it is an interesting note just based on how people view Doughty now...and how people seemed to have forgotten.

What is wrong with supporting Kane at the moment. We don't know anything about the case. It is completely fine to stick by Kane's side unless we find out he is guilty. It doesn't make you a "meatball" to standy by a player just because someone made some accusations.

Supporting Kane means you are under the belief that he is innocent. You believe that a 20-something girl is lying that she was sexually assaulted by Kane. That despite the staggering numbers of unreported rapes in our society that she came forward, and then also lied about it, which would put her in the absolute .001% of rape cases.

That's what supporting Kane means.

Just saw this come across on Twitter, and it's not good for Kane.

Alleged victim reportedly went to Kane's home to accompany a friend

The young woman who alleges that she was raped by Patrick Kane the morning of Aug. 2 only went to his Hamburg waterfront home because her friend wanted to go, according to three people who have knowledge of the events that night and early morning.

“They were at SkyBar, and Kane invited them to his home. Her friend really wanted to go to Kane’s house, and she didn’t want her friend to go there alone,” a friend of the woman told The Buffalo News. “It wasn’t her idea to go there.”

Two other sources who are familiar with the Kane rape allegation – a law enforcement official and a member of Buffalo’s legal community – gave similar information to The News about what led the alleged victim to go to Kane’s residence.

The woman who allegedly was raped at Kane’s home was not the woman who wanted to go there, the law enforcement official said.

So it might be the ol', "Try to keep your friend from getting raped, get raped" trick? Oh damn....

To continue where DMelt's quote left off...

Since Sunday, The News has spoken to four friends and co-workers of the alleged victim, all of whom said they were upset by comments made by Mark Croce, the owner of SkyBar, the downtown Buffalo night club where the young woman met Kane late on the night of Aug. 1 or early the next morning.

Among other things, Croce said he saw a young woman and a female friend follow Kane and a friend of Kane’s as they left the rooftop night spot around 3 a.m. Aug. 2.

Croce also said he told the district attorney’s office what he observed that night at SkyBar.

The four individuals who spoke to The News all have worked with the alleged rape victim at a Buffalo-area business. The News is not identifying the business to protect the identity of the alleged rape victim.

All described her as a smart, energetic woman who was trusted and well-liked in their workplace.

“She’s a really nice girl, and it made me sick to see Mr. Croce make her look like she was some kind of gold digger, that she was out looking to pick up Pat Kane,” one of the co-workers said.
