RIP Kobe Bryant

The chopper wasn't the problem. Taking it out in a vision smothering fog was. That's a solid, reliable aircraft, and it did not fail. Pilot was using Visual Flight Rules, following the interstate for a landmark, when the visibility was a few hundred feet. It is very easy to become disoriented, and he was flying very low so he could see the ground. Lose your bearings a little bit and it is easy to fly into the side of a hill you could not see until it was too late.

 

Then maybe slow down.

 

Then maybe drive a fucking car instead of literally flying blind.

 

Yeah, this isn't going to end well for the pilot.
Wait.

You know what I mean.

Bravo, Kobe.

 

Isn't it usually pilot error, at least to some extent?

Someone has to be flying the aircraft, and making the decisions, and, short of Kobe telling the pilot, "Go, just get there," and ordering him, the pilot, in the end, is the one in control and takes responsibility for what happens in these situations.

 

There’s an interesting trade off that is rarely if ever talked about. Kobe’s legal team and investigators and PR team destroyed that girl. When people remember 15 years later about your panties and suicide attempts, they thoroughly destroyed any semblance of a normal life she’ll ever have. Kobe has no public responsibility for that. No one says he crushed a girl, they say his legal team did it.
Likewise, Alan Dershowitz is immunized, almost, that his clients are factually responsible and morally repressive and reprehensible. He merely says everyone is entitled to a lawyer and her was just doing a job.

Both are responsible for what they did or others did at their request. They chose to engage in the behavior they are lauded for. They are responsible.
Dershowitz is and has always been a piece of shit, a media whore and wannabe celebrity. Fuck him. His academic credentials are suspect. Harvard likes having the notorious lawyer in their employ.
kobe was a scumbag for the rape and an even worse person for allowing an innocent girl to be abused. That’s what being guilty means. His lack of empathy was horrible. How does Rachel Nichols cover another domestic violence incident by an athlete after she metaphorically sucked Kobe’s postmortem cock

 

Even more impressive is the way he scrubbed an admitted sex crime from the memories of millions, including virtually everybody in the star-fucking national sports media. I feel horrible for the 8 other people on that chopper, especially the three children, along with everybody left behind by each of these deaths. That people are shedding tears for Kobe while ignoring what he did is remarkable.
