Candidate for Ohio Governor Defends Al Franken, Brags About Banging 50 Women
Bill O’Neill is an Ohio Supreme Court Justice. He’s also a candidate for Governor.
And, to hear him tell it, he has had sex with 50 “very attractive females” during his life. Which would be fine, if he hadn’t boasted about this on social media using information that might lead to some of those women being identified.
It’s a terrible political move. And yes, his campaign manager has quit. Wouldn’t you?
Senator Al Franken apologized for groping and kissing a woman without her consent. But apologies don’t make things magically go away, and many are calling for him to resign.
Apparently, that didn’t sit right with Ohio gubernatorial candidate Bill O’Neill, as he posted this very cringe-worthy rant to Facebook.
“Now that the dogs of war are calling for the head of Senator Al Franken,” his post begins.
It’s already off to a rough start, because that does not describe the state of things.
(Some have called for his resignation, but a graceful retirement after a scandal is hardly the end of the world)
His post gets immediately worse:
“I believe it is time to speak up on behalf of all heterosexual males.”
Generally, people speak up on behalf of underdogs instead of on behalf of the demographic group that dominates every nation on Earth. But please, continue.
“As a candidate for Governor, let me save my opponents some research time.”
(Never a good idea; make them work for that dirt)
“In the past 50 years, I was sexually intimate with approximately 50 very attractive females.”
One, that’s bragging and oversharing.
Two, don’t refer to women or girls as “females.” It tends to rub people the wrong way.
Anyway, his boastful post gets worse:
“It ranged from a gorgeous personal secretary to Senator Bob Taft (Senior) who was my first true love and we made passionate love in the hayloft of her parents barn in Gallipolis.”
That is way too much information.
Oh, O’Neill can tank his career by oversharing about his genital adventures all that he wants. But he should not have told so much about these women.
“… And ended with a drop dead gorgeous red head who was a senior adviser to Peter Lewis at Progressive Insurance in Cleveland.”
Then he talks about some pretty good policies:
“Now can we get back to discussing legalizing marijuana and opening the state hospital network to combat the opioid crisis.”
And then he promptly makes things worse again.
“I am sooooo disappointed by this national feeding frenzy about sexual indiscretions decades ago.”
So, in other words, he’s completely missed the point. Nobody’s talking about “indiscretions.” Sleep around all that you like.
The national conversation is about consent. it’s about sexual harassment and sexual assault. And Bill O’Neill should be ashamed of his post.
At first, however, he defended making the post, saying that he opposes a “new standard” that, in his mind, means that:
“If you’re not absolutely pure you’re not eligible to run for office in America. That’s wrong.”
Apparently he failed to actually listen to the national conversation even once. Unless any of those 50 alleged hotties were underage or not consenting, then he didn’t have anything to worry about.
By the way, in the process of defending himself, Bill O’Neill also lamented that Roy Moore’s accusations of molestation are condemning him “without due process.”
That is literally not how due process works. Roy Moore can’t be imprisoned without evidence and a conviction. The presumption of innocence expands to the courtroom, not to hearts and minds. Or votes.
As we mentioned, Bill O’Neill’s campaign manager quit. Chris Clevenger announced his departure on Twitter:
“The comments made today by @BillForOhio were both disturbing and misguided. As a victim of sexual assault, I cannot in good faith remain a part of #TeamONeill.”
He followed that up with a tweet:
“Sexual harassment and assault is no laughing matter. The next Governor of Ohio must take it seriously to receive my vote.”
That’s a good policy to have.
Finally, someone got through to Bill O’Neill, because he posted an apology on Sunday morning:
“There comes a time in everyone’s life when you have to admit you were wrong. It is Sunday morning and i am preparing to go to church and get right with God. But first I have to get right with my family, my friends, and the thousands of strangers who have been hurt by my insensitive remarks.”
Not to mention the two women whom he described a little too well.
“I am sorry. I have damaged the national debate on the very real subject of sexual harassment, abuse and unfortunately rape. It is not a laughing matter. It wasn’t when I prosecuted sexual misconduct for the State of Ohio, and it is not now.”
It’s good that he’s owning it fully.
“To my daughters, Katie Corrin O’Neill, Tiffany O’Neill Scullen, and my sisters Patricia O’Neill Sacha and Mary Kaye O’Neill, accomplished women all, please accept my public apology for dragging you into this matter.”
When a male politician screws up, everybody wants to know what the women in his family think.
“You deserved better treatment than this. I love you, respect you, and yes. I was wrong. Thank you for loving me enough to stand up to my departure from a loving life.“
It’s still stunning that O’Neill was able to hear about all of these allegations of assault and harassment and see it as an opportunity to brag about his conquests. Gross.

Ohio State University: Active Shooter Reported on Campus
A frightening situation is underway in Columbus, Ohio.
According to local authorities, at least seven people have been taken to a hospital after an active shooter was reported on the campus of Ohio State University.
It is not known at this time the type of injuries nor conditions of those transported.
The school’s emergency management department sent out a Tweet about an hour ago that alerted students to the ongoing situation.
It urged them to take shelter, to be safe and to fight back if necessary; and it gave them an idea of where the shooter had been spotted.
“Active Shooter on campus. Run Hide Fight. Watts Hall. 19th and College,” read the first message.
It was followed a few minutes later by: “Continue to shelter in place. Avoid area of College. More information to follow.”
Around 10:20 a.m., the department wrote once more: “Continue to shelter in place in north campus area. Follow directions of Police on scene.”
Watts Hall, one of the locations referenced above, is the university’s materials science and engineering building.
Ohio State senior Anthony Falzarano has already been in contact with CNN, telling the network that he was in class at the time of the shooting.
“We heard a lot of sirens. I was in class and everyone got a text message at the same time for the emergency alert,” the 22-year old said.
“Someone said they heard popping right before we got the alert, but I didn’t hear it. We are in a shelter-in-place right now in the building next door.”
A spokeswoman for the Columbus Fire Department confirms that two people are listed as stable at Grant Medical Center and two others are at Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
However, their status is unclear.
NBC Nightly News reports that the FBI, Columbus Police and other agencies are helping the Ohio State University Police on campus.
Courtesy of social media, here is a look at authorities gathered on the scene:
Among others, Ohio Governor John Kasich have taken to Twitter to address the situation.
“Ohio’s thoughts and prayers go out to the Ohio State community. Be safe, listen to first responders,” wrote the former Presidential candidate.
Added Ohio Senator Rob Portman said:
“My and Jane’s thoughts and prayers are with the Ohio State community. Please be safe and listen to our first responders.”
Ohio State University’s main campus in Columbus is one of the largest in the United States. It played host to a major college football game against the Michigan Wolverines on Saturday, which the Buckeyes won in double overtime.
The university has more than 65,000 students enrolled across the state.
Sophomore Wyatt Crosher has also been in touch with CNN.
He says heard gunfire (maybe “three or four gunshots”) that he thinks came from a class building across the street from his dorm.
Students have been told told to keep their distance from this area while authorities investigate.
Story developing…

Ohio Woman Arrested for Soliciting Sex in Exchange for Nachos, Cash
Nacho, nacho man?
More like; nacho, nacho… WHOA, woMAN!
According to official police reports, a Ohio resident named Crystal D. Hotlosz was arrested on Monday because she was hungry and broke and was caught soliciting sex.
In exchange for money.
And also nachos.
Officers are on record as saying they discovered Hotlosz, 36, on the website YoungstownBackpage.com, which she was using to bargain “$ 60 and nachos” to individuals seeking various kinds of sex acts.
Fox 8 Cleveland broke this bizarre piece of news, reporting that Hotlosz was caught by undercover cops in the parking lost of a parking lot of Los Gallos Mexican restaurant…
…. and proceeded to ask them if they wanted sexual favors in exchange for some delicious chips, preferably smothered in cheese and maybe chicken.
We don’t mean to make light of a serious situation, considering Hotlosz is probably in a very bad place in her life.
But the police emphasized in the official report that the alleged prostitute was “very adamant about getting the nachos,” going so far as to ask the arrested officer several times if he had any on hand.
She also inquired about money, just to be clear.
Hotlosz was then arrested and charged with solicitation, possession of criminal tools and promoting prostitution
We don’t know what bail will be set at and we don’t know if she’ll be released any time in the near future.
We assume so. The justice system hopefully has more important things to worry about than a poor woman who needs cash and snacks.
And when Hotlosz does eventually become a free woman once again, we know where she can look up a delicious nachos recipe.
Just follow the above link and enjoy!

Ohio Man Pulls Down Pants, Poops On Grocery Scanner
A person would have to be out of their mind to commit such an act in public.
Apparently this was the case at an Ohio Kroger Supermarket, which 23-year-old Colin Murphy treated as his toilet on May 29th.
Court records state that Murphy appeared intoxicated as he “stumbled” through the grocery aisles, “slurring his speech and reeking of booze.”
Murphy then made his way to the self-checkout station, where he stripped down in front of an employee, and proceeded to defecate on the grocery scanner.
Where people scan their food.
Regularly.
Police then arrested Murphy, and charged him with public indecency and disorderly conduct.
His bail was posted at $ 2,000.
Murphy was locked up on Sunday, and released from Hamilton County jail after his arraignment on Monday. A judge “ordered him to stay away from the store,” local station WLWT reports.
Prior to this, Murphy was arrested in December 2014 for “obstructing official business,” when he broke into a school and caused more than $ 100,000 in damage.
According to police, Murphy smashed a window at Rothenberg Preparatory Academy around 2.a.m., and by the time they got there, he was “inside the building damaging several water lines and school rooms causing excessive damages to floor, ceilings and student areas exceeding $ 100,000 in value.”
Murphy ran from the police (and a police dog), and was then “wrestled to the ground by two officers.”
He was charged with breaking and entering, obstructing official business and vandalism, which are all felonies, according to Cincinnati.com.
During his mayhem spree inside the building, Murphy turned safety showers on, which caused a lot of water damage.
Fortunately, a spokeswoman said, Murphy’s antics did not affect the school day, which must have disappointed several students. And Murphy, for that matter.
If you’re going to destroy school property, at least break a few more things so the kids get a day off.
At the end of the day, Murphy is just a school-damaging scanner pooper.

Ohio State"s Ezekiel Elliott -- Dognappers Collared ... After Jacking RB"s Beloved Pooch
Z STAFF
breaking news
Elliott and his father Stacy begged the public for help when their dog Chase — an Alaskan Malamute-German Shepherd mix — was stolen from the family home in Columbus, Ohio on Sunday.
The scumbags who took Chase reportedly cut through a fenced off area to snatch the pooch.
But things turned around Tuesday morning — when someone found Chase chained to a nearby fence and returned him to the Elliotts!
Cops identified and apprehended the perps — but according to FOX 28 in Ohio (and tipped our way from our friends at BSO), the Elliotts decided NOT to press charges.
