There's a verse in the Good Book saying "Thy cup runneth over." The good reverend was merely giving a demonstration.

Probably because she has a longterm boyfriend, is wealthy, and can sue the hell out of you without lifting a finger.

I can't wait for the police to say this to your daughter, sister, mother, or spouse if she ever reports sexual harassment.

"Sorry woman, why didn't you speak up when it was happening." Watch an episode of forensic files, some women who have turned down the sexual advances of nutjobs end up dead. That's right, men are damn crazy.

And since almost every man can easily strangle or overpower a woman, it's not shocking that some of them remain silent in fear to just get over it while the act is occuring. Imagine if Dwayne Johnson was sexually assaulting you as a man, you would not be able to escape him or refuse him without fear of him harming you in retaliation.

That is how women feel.

As far as what this has to do with the OP, the OP starts off with a conclusion that he did grope her, but the basic point of the matter is..............


................WE WEREN'T THERE, we don't know what went on, but yet, from a certain point of view, we are told what is what.


It's like an eyewitness report of TWA 800 over Long Island that tells us that the 747 was shot down by a missile because they saw the rising the tail fire and then heard the boom. Was that what happened?



Probably not because the nose got blown off the 747, the aircraft climbed in flames but because the speed of sound is a lot slower than the speed of light, the events arrived to the observer at different times.


We weren't there.........yet, we are told that is what happened.
Did you watch the video?? It's quite clear what's going on.

Ariana Grande tried to discreetly pull away and leaned back from him, but his grasp was firm and deliberate -he knew exactly what he was doing and that his attentions were not welcome. He was totally disrespectful and aggressive towards someone younger who was in a vulnerable position, thanks to his disgraceful behavior.

I expect he chose that very public time and place deliberately, knowing that Ariana Grande, star though she is, was vulnerable: much younger and unlikely to "make a scene" by calling him out on national television during the epic funeral of a great performer. She felt trapped, no doubt. Her face certainly indicated her embarrassment and discomfort.

If a gentleman - note, a gentleman, which this man was not - accidentally brushed his hand upon a lady's bosom, the best thing for him to do would be to quickly remove it and say nothing about it to the lady, unless it was the result of a fall onto or a bump against her, in which case of course the gentleman would apologize, assist her to her feet, and inquire if she was hurt. But this was neither a fall or an accidental encounter. It was deliberate and inappropriate in every way.

His effort to joke about her name was tactless and was an attempted put-down as well in its subtext ( as in, "See, you're not such a big shot after all - I never even heard of you before"), but nothing compared to his physical mauling of her. It seems he may have felt threatened by her success, youth, and beauty, and had to put her down - "in her place" for his own narcissistic reasons.

Ariana's dress was more suitable for a concert performance that a funeral, but that's not relevant to this creep's assault.

A much better biblical proclamation might be, Protect her from selfish and perverse men.

Are you under the impression that many married men don't touch or at least think about touching other women? That's incredibly naive.

This was gross and beyond inappropriate. I don't know what women are supposed to do in situations like this. I would support an immediate and public response, but I understand women's reluctance to make a scene in settings like this. This kind of public groping isn't coincidentally done in public. It's done in public precisely because it tends to freeze women's responses, making them next to helpless.

Of course men will jump on it if it’s offered. They are ho’s, lol. But for a reverend to carry on like that during a funeral, in front of his wife and many others, is just disrespectful and tacky behavior.

I cannot understand why they would bring trash like her into God's house. She belongs in the trash can behind the church. The preacher is just as trashy.

Why would you call her trash? I’m sure she’s no worse than lots of people who regularly attend church.
