And to Atown lives...I'm sure he has very nice parents. He also apparently has quite a few friends. But keep this in mind. EvenTed Bundy seemed like a swell guy and had friends and family who loved him. And don't question how many "stones" I have. You may get to find out before this is all gone away. Let it be known I'm circling the wagons.
Thank you, I understand how you must feel. It would be so nice to believe in the good in people. I don't know if all the victims will be willing to come together as a group, which would be good. There is strength in numbers. But again, the stigma. I will just pray for all of them to do what they feel is right.As an aside, you referred to helping a bad person get elected. True story... As my husband and I walked to the polling place, the last guy standing by the entrance was a man with a giant Davis sign. My husband said "what have you got there?" pointing to the sign. He said "That's my man! I grew up with Jimmy". My husband said " MY daughter is the one he messed over", to which the guy replied "Yeah, I heard. That's too bad". Is it just me that finds this disturbing? But, that's why he won.Even the people who know just don't seem to care.
Ok, people, I don't know how to make it any more clear. How humiliating do you think rape is for the victim?? These people have lives, jobs, families. There are numerous people who have posted here who have seen the police report and the photos. He also lied. On one report, he claimed he never saw her that night. On the other, he said it was consensual. I know it's hard for some to believe it about a person you've known for years. Their dark side doesn't emerge to everyone. Put yourself in the victims' place. It's not like on TV where they talk the victim into testifying, and the guy goes away for a long time. Not quite so easy in real life. Oh, you think you know how you'd handle it, but you don't really know until it happens to you. As for motives, are you dense?? It's hard to move on with your life when the jackass throws it in your face by running for public office. Trust me when I tell you that we would LOVE to forget everthing about him. He did this with his arrogance by running for office. I, too feel for his wife. However, some of these things happened while she was with him. I think I would have taken a real hard look at the guy I was with if he faced these kinds of allegations. If you think the motive is 15 minutes of fame, rethink. We've spent 3 years looking around every corner trying to avoid seeing him. Atown isn't that big. We've kept to our selves and my daughter has suffered in silence, as I'm sure the other victims have. They probably somehow think it was their fault. Well, he made a big mistake putting his mug out there and asking for a vote. Sorry, folks, enough is enough.
Atownlives is obviously a friend or family member. The only other explanation for that kind of loyalty is pure stupidity. And arrogance equal only to Jims.
The above poster is EXACTLY why People like Davis get away with doing what they do. Rape is a little lapse in judgement???? And as for his "poor wife", how many women make really poor choices in men, have kids with them, then somewhere down the road have an epiphany about what a mistake they made? She picked him, she has to live with that. As for waiting till now to bring this up, well, that's two-fold. First, you want this swept under the rug out of concern for poor Jim. MY concern, not that you apparently care, was and is for MY DAUGHTER! Try real hard to wrap your head around that. SHE was the victim here. And NOT THE ONLY ONE. He is a serial rapist.Period. Secondly, Attempts were made to bring this knowledge to the public way before election day. The vindicator, in their infinite wisdom, chose to ignore it. I would have let it go had he not had the arrogance to run for public office. He could have just crawled into a corner and lived his life. As we all know, rape is about power. He got away with it multiple times. Now he needs to see his name in print, be a big wheel in Austintown. Well, he went too far. NOT ON MY WATCH! And to all the women he attacked after my daughter, I'm sorry. Iwish with all my heart I would have blown the whistle a long time ago, against my daughter's wishes. I can't go back, but maybe I can stop it from happening to another woman.
Unfortunately, Atown, alot of people believed the lies. He has a way of convincing people he's something he's not. I don't know if you actually read the report, or just got in touch with someone who knows the truth, but I have photos of my daughters bruises after he was done with her (as do the police).They don't lie. They're nothing compared to the damage to her psyche. He grew up with my daughter, we've known him for years. He told her he wanted to show her how he had finished his basement. Why would she think twice about going with him? But at the end of the day, some well paid lawyer would have said she willingly went to his home, and that would be that. Ultimately, I'm glad you now know the truth. Unfortunately, he's our new trustee and there doesn't seem to be anything I can do about that. If I can make him think twice about running for anything else in the future, then at least that's something. One thing is certain...I will NEVER let him get through another election of any kind without everyone knowing what he's done. I wouldn't vote for him for dog catcher, I would be in fear for the dogs.
To Atown parent:The above comment was posted only to make sure I had the correct info before writing a full comment. The fact is, my daughter was one of his victims. You obviously are either related to the jerk or are one of his die-hard followers who are convinced he's a rockstar. God knows he doesn't need more fans...he's his own biggest one! The reports are true, and the reason charges weren't pressed is the same as always. It's the victim who gets dragged through the mud, and 9 times out of 10 the perp goes free anyway. Not to mention the fact that he was in "law enforcement" ( I nearly gag when I use that term, If people only knew what goes on at the sheriffs dept they'd be amazed). That "thin blue line" is always in play. I believe Mr. Davis would be surprised at his fellow officers who stuck up for him in front of him and then told the truth behind his back. He actually said the age-old" she said no, but she didn't mean it"!! You can stick up for him all you want, but I've known him for years, and if someone would have told me had a side this dark I would have called them crazy too. He is a monumental ASS and a danger to women everywhere. I hope he never has to see his new little daughter go through what mine did due to his sickness. In fact if I were his wife, I'd watch that child closely. You need to quit drinking the kool-aid.
While the writer may not wish to say for sure that there is gender-bias in the presidential race, the article itself pretty much says it all. Obama is the Golden Boy, why I can't seem to figure out, and if he says the sky is green and the grass is blue the sheep who blindly follow him will undoubtedly shout "yay, change just like he promised!" Hillary is a crank , for lack of a better word, if she goes on the attack, weak if she shows emotion. She lived through some ugly marital issues while the whole world looked on and yet held her head up and her marriage together. In my book that shows strength and an ability to rebound in the face of adversity. She's been criticized for being angry over remarks made about her daughter being "pimped out" by her campaign. I raised three daughters, and heaven help the unlucky person who makes a disparaging remark like that about one of mine! And they, like Chelsea, are fully grown. That shows me she puts loyalty above all else, and if there's one thing we need in the white house it's some one who is loyal to us, the people who elect them. We sure haven't seen that with the current administration. The bottom line in my opinion is that, as much as I hate to say it, Obama will probably end up as the democratic candidate, and it won't be because he's more qualified but because he happens to have the "extra appendage" that supposedly makes him superior to Hillary.
All I can say is I'm sure we can believe EVERYTHING Barack says because he is, after all, a politician, and God knows we've never been lied to by one of those before!

Is Clinton victim of media gender bias?
