The fight started after he threw things at another patron.

And other classmates, far more, have said the opposite. Know what happens then? They call it a wash and do nothing - well unless you’re a Democrat and then you rant about non-existent perjury. But you keep doing you!
Makes you wonder who's paying them.

Apparently Ford thinks that her family is very male dominated and that she didn't get the respect and attention she deserved from them - according to her husband.

Yeah, I’m not going to consider drinking in college or throwing ice at some drunk guy as disqualifying factors for a SCOTUS candidate. Of note, if you think that is disqualifying, then someone like Obama is definitely disqualified from serving on the court.

Obama is not nor will he be nominated to serve on the court.

Same could be said for the others accusing him too. See how this works? (Seriously y’all, how do you not get this?)

You reap what you sow. When you run around spouting hate speech, no one wants to give you a platform. No surprises there, unless you're a republican.

Well, the police report should be there then, and if he started it, why was he not arrested?

Also, was he questioned over this? If not, then it is not on him, no one asked him, being an idiot in college in my opinion means nothing decades later.

Your entire post was excellent, but this paragraph sums up why so many women don't come forward. Many of the posters here are representative of the kind of judgement women who come forward face. They have declared her unstable (it's her fault this happened) or that this is all staged (she's lying).

Blame the victim mentality is alive and well here, even in light of classmates of Kavanaugh coming forward and claiming he is lying. They will continue to blame the victim.

It's not about being an idiot, its about whether he lied about his behavior under oath in his testimony. If he did that is disqualifying.
