For years now we have been subjected to the tomfoolery and overall ridiculous behavior of Robert Kelly. Over and over again, his behavior has been excused, dismissed and even completely ignored as "harmless boyish behavior" that "any man would do were he in his position". I take offense to such a vile claim. Who is to say that sexual urges are uncontrollable? All of us have no doubt fantasized about things; there is nothing wrong with that. But, when you take those fantasies to the next level by forcing yourself on or controlling others, that is when you have gone too far. That is called breaking the law. Unfortunately, fans often make excuses for their heroes. They elevate these famous people to an almost god like status, where they can do no wrong. Then we wonder why they would dare do such a thing. Why not? If there are never any consequences for their actions, then why follow any law at all? What is the point? If you are under the impression that you can do no wrong, then why would you ever stop yourself from doing anything? Such is the case with Robert Kelly, a man who believed he was untouchable, that he could get away with anything. Well, that time has swiftly come to an end. As I have said before, the bigger they are, the harder they fall; and the harder they fall, the harder I laugh. There is no such thing as too big to fail, nor is there such a thing as too famous to go to break the law. Social media and proper marketing got R. Kelly off the first time around, but it did not help him this time. "After more than 25 years of accusations and a federal court trial in New York that lasted seven weeks, R&B singer R. Kelly has been found guilty of charges including sexual exploitation of a child, bribery, racketeering and sex trafficking involving five victims. Kelly faces a possible sentence of 10 years to life in prison." (PBS News) Twenty-five years is a long time, especially since everyone knows that R. Kelly married singer Aliyah when she was only fifteen years old. Aliyah's parents eventually had the marriage dismantled. Kelly got a fake identification card for Aliyah so he could marry the singer. A lot of people claim to have love for Aliyah, as well they should; she is undoubtedly one of the best performers to ever live. But what kind of love makes it okay for a grown ass man to have sex with a fifteen year old girl? You are aware that women experience difficulty giving birth at such an age, right? You should be. Your actions have consequences and you need to recognize those consequences. What we should not be doing is making excuses for people with power; that only serves to bolster the culture of abuse that we have created. Kelly deserves jail time for his heinous crimes. Yet Bill Cosby gave an interview to defend Kelly because he knows how easily you all can be swayed by the love of celebrity, "Cosby believes the pervy singer “was screwed” and that “he wasn’t going to catch a break” during the month-long trial, according to his spokesman, Andrew Wyatt...“The deck was stacked against Robert,” said Wyatt. “His constitutional rights were grossly abused. I don’t know anywhere but in this country in the United States that a documentary can bring criminal charges against someone.” The deck was stacked against the guy who got away with banging teenagers for years, hey? Thanks for the cracker jack analysis Bill, but I think I'll stick with the law on this one. This just shows that those who prey together, stay together. They all protect each other, these abusers, because they know that kind and decent humans would rather have them in jail, not running around touching little girls. Have some more pudding and sit down.
