Some of these comments absolutely sicken me! You people honestly think it’s ok to treat a woman in anything other than a respectful manner simply because you think she should have chosen a different career or developed thicker skin??!!??

How about this? She should be treated as a human being, not your sexual fantasy, your punching bag, or whatever else your pathetic little minds dream up!

You have NO IDEA what this does to someone, the humiliation, the anxiety, the damage to your self esteem. Those of you who are defending the sickening actions of these so-called men, do you also think rape is just good ole boys having fun? Because that is exactly what happened here! Maybe it wasn’t physical but definitely mentally and emotionally. This is what’s wrong with our society these days: too many idiots who think we should just accept your horrible behavior because we’re just women and we should accept this as our due since we were unfortunate enough to be born female. Is that what you’d tell your mom too if she were being treated this way? Buck up, Ma, they’re only having fun.

SHAME ON EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU!

@ Mike
Dude, you’re elevated right up there with your girls “Hillary” and “Stormy” in your sad attention getting needs.

One question for those of you who have negative comments about this Brave Woman:
“What if this were your daughter or granddaughter – or son?”
Guess anything goes and would be okay with Mike as hey, it’s just guys playing with his kid, right? You know, Mike the good ol’ boys just having some fun with your child.

To the MANY females out there who are Firefighters, EMT’s, Cops, Military forces, Teachers and who work in the endless list of Live Saving and Life Sustaining and Life Enriching occupations, THANK YOU for your Dedication and Caring Attention to everyone.

Who knows, one day one of you may be the one able to save a member of Mike’s family or even him and you’d treat him without prejudice because you’re That Good.

God Bless and Protect ALL of those in whose trust we place our lives, property and hopes. You are the BEST.

The County job website does not list a job for a sexual harasser. If they did then some commentors here could find employment. The firefighter qualification doesn’t list thick skin or degradation..

Mike, she had to have had hard evidence (credible witnesses, photos of awful items or pictures in the workplace, nasty notes, bruises, etc) to get this level of settlement. I used to investigate cases of harassment and discrimination and the burden of proof is on the complainant. It’s a tough burden to meet, it’s rarely met, and must be proved by much more than “just because she sez.” Otherwise, no deal.

i stand by my statement. without recordings, or camera footage, there is no hard evidence. just bcuz she sez so don’t make it so.

Well its settled but all the Diversity whining was indicative that people still want special privileges. Nada. No discrimination period.
