Lol. Confederate flags? Many, many times. Hundreds. Nazi? Just by Republican protesters on tv or online.
The Confederate Flags are an every day thing down here.
Haven’t seen a Nazi flag in a very long time.
That may very well be Mike, but a good share of these clowns have likely never been south of Keokuk. Hence my comment.
But we don’t need to go south of Keokuk to see the confederate flag. I don’t understand your reasoning. I think you would be very hard pressed to find anyone on HROT that hasn’t seen a confederate flag being displayed.
There's at least one jagoff in Marion who flys one from the back of his pickup. What do I win?
That's because you are white and probably don't associate with any black people.
At the pace CCA is going, they'll soon be the "Waverly of the WAMAC".
Sadly this same thought has crossed my mind.
It was pretty sad at my niece’s graduation that one of the class speakers even commented on how racist the school was.
I see what you see. Let me see if I can find the TV report. It suggested otherwise.
What's it like being very good friends with a convicted sex offender?
Maybe no prison, but I always wonder a bleak future guys like this face. He’ll have to register as a sex offender for the remainder of his life (no social life with neighbors or community). Wife and kids may have left him. He’s 59-60 now, so will likely still have to do something, but no prospects for a decent job. Wonder if he still would receive any type of pension from the school district?
Prison almost looks better, except fellow inmates don’t like pedos either.

Usually these guys aren't just grooming the victim, they are grooming the parents and others as well.
In the few instances over the years where I have seen people arrested/convicted of these sorts of crimes, it always came as quite the shock to their family members and closes friends and yet half the kids at school and the community members seemed to know it was the worse kept secret.
It's all good. He's still my friend. I still don't believe that he's guilty of any sexual offenses.
Let's talk about the "victim" here: Anyone else here aware that the "victim" has four different children with four different fathers? In addition, she has at least one restraining order against her that prohibits her from carrying a gun. So, she is on leave (while still being paid) from her duties as a police officer. I would assume she is a psycho based on those facts alone.
The simple fact is that my friend was facing multiple charges based on her allegations that would be argued in front of a jury. A guilty verdict in any one of those allegations and he goes to jail. I believe her intent all along was to get him to fold so that she could go after the school district for the money. You won't convince me otherwise.
Before you argue that he pleaded guilty, please understand that he has been dealing with this allegation from this woman for some time. Every time the court date approached her attorneys asked for a delay. That means more time for my friend to twist in the wind. The prosecution could provide no corroborating evidence and no one who would testify on her behalf. The chance that someone on the jury might convince others to convict on at least on of the charges was too great to ignore. He took the safest route and agreed to no jail time and a fifteen year suspended sentence.
Ever think the abuse stunted her development and affects her relationships?
Was what I was thinking, too. Sounds very much like what you’d expect from someone who has been abused.
And/or that he identified a minor he believed was susceptible and took advantage?
Maybe it’s just me, but no way in ****ing hades I or anyone else would plead guilty to messing around with a kid if I was ever falsely accused, just to take a safer penalty. The lack of any evidence and people willing to testify on her behalf would only make this even more the case. Also who she is now has nothing to do with what he did with her.
Your buddy definitely made a huge mistake and messed around with a minor he was coaching. You need to accept that. You can still be friends if you want. I have seen this before and typically the friends and family who rally around the teacher / coach say similar things about the victim and portray as a sexed up teen girl who preyed on the teacher / coach. However, that is not how Statutory Rape works.
Your bullshit explanation is what guilty people and their friends say to make themselves the victim in the situation. Oh, poor me, I had no choice but to plead guilty to something I didn’t do.
If the evidence was as lacking as you suggest, your not guilty friend would have gone to trial.
Excellent work blaming the victim. You must be so proud.

I’d LOVE to talk about this “victim” you speak of. The one you clearly seem to know nothing about. Stop talking on things you clearly are not fully educated in. I’ll gladly share my life experience.
To begin, I do have 4 children. I have two children with one man who I shared a beautiful life with for 5 years of marriage. I married young (19) and started a family. One of those two were the catalyst for all of this FINALLY coming out and being taken seriously. We co-parent amazing! I have two more children from another marriage of nearly 6 years that I left because of infidelity. Still in the works but should be over soon. We co-parent great, also! I have never had a restraining order against me, a day in my life other than the generic divorce that keeps me from taking my children out of the state. I still work my 40 hour work week (sometimes more) as I always have in full capacity and love the career I have and I’ve worked very hard in my 8 years to earn it. I’ve never been on paid leave other than a work related injury when I broke my ankle in 6 places in 2017 and had to attend rigorous physical therapy to get me back to healthy.
Anyone curious, please access Iowa courts online and you will see the continuances were filed from the other side, not the state. I do believe in the end due to an emergency with the state they may have filed once to switch attorneys from Lang to Zimmerman for personal reasons between them. You can also request open records for the impact statement given so you can see the damage this man has done as well as how poorly this was handled in 2006 when I was 14.
The civil statute expired years ago. No school district can be sued, nor can the abuser. This was purely for closure.
It also should be noted Jim made the conscious decision without pressure to plead guilty knowing it had to be proven without a reasonable doubt. He was reminded continuously by the judge in the court room prior to him actually saying “I plead guilty.”
Thanks! 🙌🏻
