Why make a thread like this argumentative?

I didn't misread anything. I can actually read very well. Perhaps I misinterpreted it though. By "doing ok" I suppose he could've meant doing ok physically. But I'm sure they aren't doing so well emotionally right now.
Have some class Fly...
Seriously.

A Washington Post reporter was put on leave for immediately tweeting out an article from years ago about rape accusations against Kobe.
Holy shit CNN and other reporters decided to get in on it too.

Funny how the name "Kobe Bryant" was synonymous with sexual assault.
But now that he dies, he's suddenly a "hero".
So when Roman Polanski passes away, he'll suddenly be known as a genius-director, instead of a rapist?
The real tragedy is that Kobe's innocent daughter was one of the victims.
And that the other people's deaths are unknown and overshadowed by the hype of a "heroic" sexual predator dying.
Was he ever actually proven guilty of committing rape? Was he convicted of the crime?
If not, then he shouldn't be labelled one or a sexual predator. We shouldn't stoop to the level of crazy leftists by automatically believing all women's accusations of rape without actual evidence of any wrongdoing on the accused's part..
Anyways, I think it's valid to point out the disgusting smears by the media.
They showed more respect for General Soleimani than they have Kobe. And the specific WaPo that was put on leave...when Kim Jong II died all she did was tweet that he died. There was nothing else, said nothing bad about him nor did she link to any articles about the bad shit he has done.
It's certainly not un-classy to point this out. What lacks class is the attempt to smear him.

No, they settled out of court. This article has some info:

Accuser also admitted to lying about several details. Claimed she consented to the cops, but then changed the story.

Whenever I thought of Kobe I thought "basketball player" not "rapist". I suppose crazy people could indeed immediately think "raaape!" about him.
But now that he dies, he's suddenly a "hero".
Well I personally don't view him as a hero.

False equivalency, Polanski plead guilty to rape. When dictators are cut more slack than a guy accused of rape there is a problem.

There are two tragedies here:
-the death of these people
-the sick smears

Yeah, a lot of people here need to grow the fu#k up.
PB surely has the right to ask the question he asked and you have the right to respond(I am going to chuckle though if PB of all people agrees with you about people needing to grow up), but the question becomes: is it a good idea? I can't see how it won't just fuel the argument and keep it alive. eThneoLgrRnae had stopped discussing it and was instead asking about rape allegations against Kobe.
*shrug* Just my 2 cents.

His "people need to grow up" post is also hugely ironic coming from someone like him who is seriously infected with TDS and wants a duly elected president unjustly removed from office simply because he doesn't like him.
Btw, you can just call me Lone Ranger or simply LR if you prefer. I know it's probably quite tedious always having to type out my full user name.
