Re: stupidity galore
So handing over money as the result of fraud, being spun a plausible story, deserves sympathy but sexual assault makes you laugh? Oh and they shouldn't complain?
Way to go Mike.

Re: stupidity galore
Many monetary frauds are not plausible stories to others but the person hearing them is convinced, motivated by greed often. You sympathise with the greedy gullible person and not the trusting gullible person.
Whether or not I would fall for it is irrelevant. Your stance implies it was their fault so tough luck, they got what they asked for. Hmm, short skirts, low tops, drunk, just asking for it.

Re: stupidity galore
So it's ok to sexually assault the gullible? And you're comfortable mocking them. There will be more to this story. The report says a woman called claiming to be from an "authority". That means power, power asserted over the women to get them to comply.

As I said .. There may well be more to the story, however it was one of my friends I would be gutted that they had been attacked but would say straight out WTF were you thinking letting him in !

Re: stupidity galore
As would I, but I wouldn't mock them, or give more sympathy to financial fraud, or say it was "beyond comprehension" to report it, or call it "hilarious", as Mike does.
You stated earlier that you had no sympathy for the victims. Victims of sexual assault. You have made a joke of sexual assault by finding the story hilarious. Your first post.

The Middlesboro Police Department said Coots refused to have medical treatment for the bite.
Coots said last year that he needed the snakes for religious reasons, citing a Bible passage in Mark's gospel.
The handlers' religious conviction is based on a passage in Mark's gospel which reads: "They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."
