I am just curious as to why Lively feels unable to state his position on the central issue keeping this thread running.
i.e. is a minority group the majority offender in a certain crime?

He stated that the Binden pieces were compelling enough to help inform his thoughts, and were "a clarification of where I'm coming from."
Thoses pieces are an unrelenting catalogue of pitiful child victims gang raped by BP gangs.
You have to assume he accepts what the poor victims state, but he can not or will not say it.
It helps to explain why this scandal has been kept secret for well over a decade.
