Less “euphemism” and more technically correct legal term. It hasn’t been proven in a court of law, and he hasn’t publicly admitted guilt, even though there is (allegedly) film of him doing it. And to be clear I’m not saying he didn’t do it, he very obviously did, but news sites (good ones) have to be specific with their statements.
I find it absolutely disgusting that anybody would have any kind words or try to muddy the waters in any way shape or form about the awful thing. This man was recorded on camera.
You were today years old when you found out what innocent until proven guilty means. Not just as words, but as a concept. It means even the most obviously guilty person is given the presumption of innocence until they are actually convicted. Would you like to hear some ridiculous but technically possible arguments? Maybe it was his twin brother who drugged the kids. Maybe it was a random person who looks like him. Maybe it was a faked recording. Maybe he had a mental breakdown. None likely, obviously, but each are valid defenses that need to be eliminated to prove guilt. Unless you want to live in a different legal system where they believe it is better for an innocent person to go to jail as opposed to a guilty person sometimes going free.
Ok well put I retract my previous statement. Thank you for taking the time to educate me, most people probably wouldn’t have Taking the time and/or listened, but thank you
Oh no, how terrible for media to follow standards in reporting when it comes to criminal suspects, rather than throwing these standards overboard and allowing for witch hunts. Because that would never backfire onto the people at large…
Thank you for going to bat for the probably pedophile old man who slipped drugs in his daughter’s ice cream, you really look good defending this man in any way shape or form, You’re doing such a great job
Nah, he was trying to rape his granddaughters (being a Republican- obviously this was what he was all about), they found the pills, and he tried to deflect by blaming it on the service workers.
“Accused” is being used as a euphemism for “caught on camera”.
He complained to the restaurant that the ice cream had been drugged, so they checked the camera and saw him doing it.
Immoral and stupid, a truly republican plan.
I’m trying to understand wtf the plan was here
First off, he actually had cocaine and MDMA from somewhere?
Then he put them in ice cream
…then he complained they received the ice cream that way?
Like, wtf would be the point of that? Or did someone else catch him and he just blamed someone else…?
It’s a safe guess that the end game was molestation, but something interfered with his plan to interfere with the girls.

We really need a better word for “did it, but a court hasn’t found them guilty.”

He is on tape. I’m done with you.

You’re welcome! It helps if you read the full comment instead of stopping halfway through.
I retract my previous statement, but I’m going to leave it up as a testament to my idiocy
Maybe he wanted to manufacturer an excuse for ICE to arrest foreign-born citizens employed there. Hypothetically.
Nah, he was trying to rape his granddaughters (being a Republican- obviously this was what he was all about), they found the pills, and he tried to deflect by blaming it on the service workers.
I hate that both are equally likely.
I guarantee it. That it something equally shitty.
