6 thoughts on “Post buries news that Hancock’s phone in use during some possible prostitution appointments”

1. The Post reports that there were nine “possible times” based on the records from the pimp, and that five of those “possible times” show Hancock on the phone based on his phone records.

   Hancock is only accused of three visits to the Denver Players, and four such “possible times” are not covered by phone calls in the records.

   That’s why the Post still says the evidence is not definitive, and probably why they “buried” this point. It’s not conclusive either.

   1. Not definitive, and nothing will be, but it’s a pretty funny bit that leads us more toward definitiveness.

2. When was  the 1st amendment amended to give the Press, not just freedom, but police power?  Never.

   So what is going on?  My quess:  circulation drop for the Post is only matched by crashing ratings for boyles, et.al……Now, if there were a “sexy” story and more importantly a pissing contest between littwin and boyles, would ratings and/or circulation go up?  Would people listen to boyles for the next exiting cage match between him and whoever???  Would anyone read littwin to figure out why he was playing “Driving Miss DaIsy?”

   If there is a god…etc.

3. My issue with this story is that it is boring. The evidence is spotty, circumstantial and unconvincing. The alleged crime happened years ago. As much as I’ve blogged about wanting to reduce human trafficking by reducing prostitution in Colorado, what may have happened years ago is water under the bridge, anyway. What we should be focused on is what happens in the future. After educating people about the unintended consequences of being consumers in an industry that hurts real people, are different choices being made?

   When I was a kid, my parents did not buckle us up in the car, and they exposed us to second-hand smoke at home. Their friends brought back an ivory gift after traveling, as a souvenir. Everyone burned leaves in the fall, and they often poured their paints and motor oils into the sewer. At the time, they had no idea how hazardous  any of these things were, and everyone else was doing them, too. Years later, they got educated on the issues, and made better choices. Should I condemn them for their earlier choices? No way. I’m proud of them for being open to change.

   I personally hate this story and wish it would just go away. Let’s give our newly-elected Mayor the benefit of the doubt and move on. Let’s grow up, folks. There is  much work to be done for the people of Denver.

   1. Prostitution has always been illegal in this state. That is not a greek tragedy of being hurt by that which you don’t know.
      
      Whether or not it should be legal is outside the bounds of this discussion.  Breaking the law is not a bad choice, it is a CRIME.

      Since as an incredibly  advanced culture, our rapidly changing technologies have made it impossible to have generational knowledge of the impact of our ever new technologies.  That does have the potential for a greek tragedy….but absolutely nothing to do with hancock, etc..

      You are confusing apples and oranges in your argument.

      We are in total agreement that this story should just go away there are more important things to do in Denver, particularly for those of us who actually live in the city.

4. No evidence will come forth from the feds. Everyone who frequented the Fillmore address  and the downtown parties are safe, except the women.

   Isn’t this one of the catch 22’s of the new legislation? The low end child abuse may be lowered, but the high end risk for the working women, past and present, increases.
