All this and you and your Republican friends continue to support a serial abuser of women as President of the United States. How can you look in the mirror every morning and not retch over the hypocrisy? There are more assaults on women by men than ever, and one of our major parties is dominated by a man who thinks he should be able to assault women because he is a star; a man who was just found by a jury to have sexually assaulted a woman and has numerous complaints by other women that he molesting them; a man who admitted publicly to groping women without their consent and then refused to apologize for that when given the chance, saying for “better or worse” they let you get away with it. You have ignored all of that.
Of course, a lot of judges don’t take men assaulting women seriously. Why would they? When the Republican party running our state (your party and the party of Donald Trump) does not take the rights of women seriously and has a get over it little lady mentality.
Thank you, Molly Vick for your courage in speaking out and to FITSNEWS for covering the story.
One of the minor details that caught my attention was your description of Combs’ sentencing phase when Judge Bentley Price stated he was “gonna give [Combs] the full fourteen year sentence,” and then added “suspended to a five year probation sentence.”
I’m sorry that happened to you. There’s no excuse for such intentional cruelty and no excuse for allowing such an intentionally cruel individual to abuse the power entrusted by We the People.
I too have experienced the same manner of “sucker punch” ruling before a South Carolina judge–more than once, in fact. I can confirm that Judge Price’s pause in speech during sentencing was not random.
When judges in different courts and different circuits throughout South Carolina act in ways that seem to serve no other purpose than inflicting additional trauma on the vulnerable party in litigation, one must ask, ‘What is the common thread?’ What is the mechanism that would identify such cruel individuals and why would they then be quickly promoted to positions of power with no checks and balances and near absolute immunity?

Thank you for staying on top of this issue.
Wonder who is jockeying for Judge Price’s Seat?

Dear Tom,
You’re an asshat.
Dear Tom, I agree with John
Did Tom just call me a little lady? Also, who is Tom? Haha.
