But viewed from the angle of the victim’s apparent manipulation of the legal system, I understand the wrath being directed towards him. Does it appear that there’s some playing fast and lose in designating him as a victim of sexual abuse? Absolutely. And the whole reason for that is to spare him embarrassment–not a legitimate reason to enter into that charade.

Also another commenter made an interesting point. This victim is NOT necessarily gay. Some straight men are attracted to men dressed as women. Remember when actor Hugh Grant (who had the beautiful Elizabeth Hurley at home in England) was caught by LAPD with a transvestite a few years ago?. Hugh Grant’s wife just gave birth to thier second child. And he has a reputation as a fairly notorious philanderer with women.

Person A is a prominent elected offical in a fictional jurisdiction known for
its public corruption. Person A goes to a fictional website which introduces
public officals to individuals who want to engage in bribery of public officals
in exchange for government contracts. He contacts person B who agree
to meet at the local motel 8 and have a few drinks. Person A wakes up the
next morning finding two sacks full of hundred dollar bills. He has a headache
and suspects he was “ruffied” the night before by person B. He also sees
signed contract by both parties agreeing to obligate the Parish to pay person
B 1 million dollars for legal services which in reality have or never will be
performed. Person A also sees a receipt from person B for a check for
1 million dollars which was written on the Parish’s bank account. So person
A decides to just keep the money found in the bags and not report the matter
to the police as it might cause problems for ummm the voters.

Next—well you can see where I”m headed person B tries to blackmail person
A and it follows the same pattern of the blackmailed “John” all the way down
to the press release of a prominent local politician who is active in the volunteer
theatrical community, likes to fish in canada, etc etc etc.

See any problems in how the police handled the matter if it were handled like
the blackmail case discussed here?
How should the Courts handle the matter?
etc etc etc

Hope this helps others illuminate the problem in their own thinking. It did mine
but I understands all come to conclusions about justice in via different routes
so please feel free to use your own.

Second the problem of “being outted” is not the only consideration
someone might have—perhaps they are in a committed relationship
already.

Third many gay and lesbians believe in outing people in the interest
of changing social norms.

Fourth if everyone is cool with gay lifestyles than they should be
able to clearly see this would be big news regardless of the
sexual orientation issues.

Filth never goto court with dirty hands when you are an officer
of the Court. You know better. Manipulating the Judical sytem
by an Officer of the Court is a huge matter when it is based on
MAJOR lies and back room dealings. This transexual man should
sue, sue and sue again.

Sixth nobody is concerned about the transexual “victim” who is
in my opinion— a victim of judical rail roading conducted in a
vain attempt to create a fictional account of the two people’s encounter.

Lastly why not call for the arrest of the lawyer for providing false information
concerning the incident in California. I don’t believe for a second that
anyone was raped out there by an internet transgender prostitute. The man
who went on line and ordered sex to go broke the law. He broke the law
when he gave fake reports to the police in Florida. Yet only the most
vulnerable of our society is in jail. An uneducated black transgendered
prositute. Please respond defenders of this attack on the transgendered
community.

For the record this entire incident is all our responibilities. We afford gay and
lesbian members of our community no viable route to legal unions such as
marriage. Why is nobody concerned about this barrier to the basic building
blocks of a socially productive union? Oh well. I’ll get off my high horse
now and walk off into the night. Slabbed has furthered these issues
by covering them and provided bandwidth for all to express their viewpoints.
All I see coming from the New Orleans lawyer defenders are attempts to
frame this in a manner which is most generous to the lawyer. Well too bad
if others view this differently and you have to read it. Bye for now.

“The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds.

“They are playing a game. They are playing at not

playing a game. If I show them I see they are, I

shall break the rules and they will punish me.

I must play their game, of not seeing I see the game.”

And The End,

“In the society of men the truth resides now less in what things are than in

what they are not. Our social realities are so ugly if seen in the light of exiled

truth, and beauty is no longer possible if it is not a lie. ”

The serial bully:

is a convincing, practised liar and when called to account, will make up anything spontaneously to fit their needs at that moment
has a Jekyll and Hyde nature – is vile, vicious and vindictive in private, but innocent and charming in front of witnesses; no-one can (or wants to) believe this individual has a vindictive nature – only the current target of the serial bully’s aggression sees both sides; whilst the Jekyll side is described as “charming” and convincing enough to deceive personnel, management and a tribunal, the Hyde side is frequently described as “evil”; Hyde is the real person, Jekyll is an act
excels at deception and should never be underestimated in their capacity to deceive
uses excessive charm and is always plausible and convincing when peers, superiors or others are present (charm can be used to deceive as well as to cover for lack of empathy)
is glib, shallow and superficial with plenty of fine words and lots of form – but there’s no substance
is possessed of an exceptional verbal facility and will outmanoeuvre most people in verbal interaction, especially at times of conflict
is often described as smooth, slippery, slimy, ingratiating, fawning, toadying, obsequious, sycophantic
relies on mimicry, repetition and regurgitation to convince others that he or she is both a “normal” human being and a tough dynamic manager, as in extolling the virtues of the latest management fads and pouring forth the accompanying jargon
is unusually skilled in being able to anticipate what people want to hear and then saying it plausibly
cannot be trusted or relied upon
fails to fulfil commitments
is emotionally retarded with an arrested level of emotional development; whilst language and intellect may appear to be that of an adult, the bully displays the emotional age of a five-year-old
is emotionally immature and emotionally untrustworthy
exhibits unusual and inappropriate attitudes to sexual matters, sexual behaviour and bodily functions; underneath the charming exterior there are often suspicions or hints of sex discrimination and sexual harassment, perhaps also sexual dysfunction, sexual inadequacy, sexual perversion, sexual violence or sexual abuse
in a relationship, is incapable of initiating or sustaining intimacy
holds deep prejudices (eg against the opposite gender, people of a different sexual orientation, other cultures and religious beliefs, foreigners, etc – prejudiced people are unvaryingly unimaginative) but goes to great lengths to keep this prejudicial aspect of their personality secret
is self-opinionated and displays arrogance, audacity, a superior sense of entitlement and sense of invulnerability and untouchability
has a deep-seated contempt of clients in contrast to his or her professed compassion
is a control freak and has a compulsive need to control everyone and everything you say, do, think and believe; for example, will launch an immediate personal attack attempting to restrict what you are permitted to say if you start talking knowledgeably about psychopathic personality or antisocial personality disorder in their presence – but aggressively maintains the right to talk (usually unknowledgeably) about anything they choose; serial bullies despise anyone who enables others to see through their deception and their mask of sanity
displays a compulsive need to criticise whilst simultaneously refusing to value, praise and acknowledge others, their achievements, or their existence
shows a lack of joined-up thinking with conversation that doesn’t flow and arguments that don’t hold water
flits from topic to topic so that you come away feeling you’ve never had a proper conversation
refuses to be specific and never gives a straight answer
is evasive and has a Houdini-like ability to escape accountability
undermines and destroys anyone who the bully perceives to be an adversary, a potential threat, or who can see through the bully’s mask
is adept at creating conflict between those who would otherwise collate incriminating information about them
is quick to discredit and neutralise anyone who can talk knowledgeably about antisocial or sociopathic behaviors
may pursue a vindictive vendetta against anyone who dares to held them accountable, perhaps using others’ resources and contemptuous of the damage caused to other people and organisations in pursuance of the vendetta
is also quick to belittle, undermine, denigrate and discredit anyone who calls, attempts to call, or might call the bully to account
gains gratification from denying people what they are entitled to
is highly manipulative, especially of people’s perceptions and emotions (eg guilt)
poisons peoples’ minds by manipulating their perceptions
when called upon to share or address the needs and concerns of others, responds with impatience, irritability and aggression
is arrogant, haughty, high-handed, and a know-all
often has an overwhelming, unhealthy and narcissistic attention-seeking need to portray themselves as a wonderful, kind, caring and compassionate person, in contrast to their behaviour and treatment of others; the bully sees nothing wrong with their behavior and chooses to remain oblivious to the discrepancy between how they like to be seen and how they are seen by others
is spiritually dead although may loudly profess some religious belief or affiliation
is mean-spirited, officious, and often unbelievably petty
is mean, stingy, and financially untrustworthy
is greedy, selfish, a parasite and an emotional vampire
is always a taker and never a giver
is convinced of their superiority and has an overbearing belief in their qualities of leadership but cannot distinguish between leadership (maturity, decisiveness, assertiveness, co-operation, trust, integrity) and bullying (immaturity, impulsiveness, aggression, manipulation, distrust, deceitfulness)
often fraudulently claims qualifications, experience, titles, entitlements or affiliations which are ambiguous, misleading, or bogus
often misses the semantic meaning of language, misinterprets what is said, sometimes wrongly thinking that comments of a satirical, ironic or general negative nature apply to him or herself
knows the words but not the song
is constantly imposing on others a false reality made up of distortion and fabrication
sometimes displays a seemingly limitless demonic energy especially when engaged in attention-seeking activities or evasion of accountability and is often a committeeaholic or apparent workaholic
Responsibility

The serial bully appears to lack insight into his or her behaviour and seems to be oblivious to the crassness and inappropriateness thereof; however, it is more likely that the bully knows what they are doing but elects to switch off the moral and ethical considerations by which normal people are bound. If the bully knows what they are doing, they are responsible for their behaviour and thus liable for its consequences to other people. If the bully doesn’t know what they are doing, they should be suspended from duty on the grounds of diminished responsibility and the provisions of the Mental Health Act should apply.

I have to say that your comments are generally some of the most well-reasoned on slabbed. I even agree with almost all of what you’ve written on this thread. And I’ll go ahead and admit (I think I have already) that the facts of this story interest me. David Vitter’s “serious sin” also interested me, not so much for the illegal sex acts themselves, but because of the abuse of his office that went along with it.

Salacious, illegal activities involving “prominent” individuals are fascinating to me. If that offends you, then I’m sorry. But I don’t think the interest in this story would be much less intense, if any, had the hooker been a female. I’ll also own up to the fact that as a heterosexual, I find it kind of funny when a macho, rich, closeted, white-guy is drilling a black, male-whore in private.

But from the beginning, what has really pissed me off is that Victim, J.D. seems to be lying and wielding his influence to make it look like he was raped (see my comment above for explanation). Other than that, I really could care less about this guy’s sexual preference.

Vroooooomm!!!
