My new son-in-law’s family is French, and the total opposite of the stereotype. Industrious, conservative, actual practicing Catholics, highly moral, polite, sweet almost to a fault. His father fulfilled a life-long dream in emigrating from France to the US nearly 30 years ago, gave a touching speech at a 7/4 gathering last year about what America offers. Just exactly what we want here.
I fear the problem with France and most of Europe is the Brain Drain suffered when the best of them came to the US over the past couple hundred years. Mabe we can send Ayers, et al. back to their European roots where they can be more comfortable.
Sounds like you have a womderful family. I have French family and friends in France, just as you describe. They are all conservatives, very traditional people who never vote Socialist and love America.
“Get informed..then you won’t have to question yourself.”
It is not a case of not being informed, rather this crime scenario does not seem right to me. It seems funny but do you always believe the authorities in these situations? Or are you automatically prejudicial against the alleged perpetrator because he is rich or powerful? Police investigations, and grand juries are not always completely accurate. This man may indeed be guilty as charged, but then again he may not be solely at fault.
Well, you are going to form your own conclusions based ,apparently, on your feelings that ‘something isn’t right’..... I prefer to analyze the whole picture with as much evidence as are available.
To begin with the guy is married...no doubt something sexual happened as he’s planning on saying they both agreed to the encounter. That makes him ‘guilty’ of adultery before this thing gets off the ground. If he’ll deceive and lie to those closest and most significant to him..he’ll surely lie to save his skin from jail time. Not to mention the guy’s walked this walk before.
Again, the evidence their was an “attack” soes appear to be overwhelming and thus his stance to say she agreed to the encounter. Old story...same lines heard many times before by those quilty of such crime. The clencher wil be how the attorneys play out the happening....not if he’s guilty or not...as most attorneys fight to win, not for justice.
To get her financial ducks in a row. Takes time, standing by your man gives that time....then she'll bail out of the relationship. Unless he has something to hang over her head.
