The Diddy Scare And What Pictures Mean

It’s been a tactic for years and it has always been intriguing. Guilt by association is not only a legal strategy but also a logical fallacy. Look it up. Google says so.

But is it right? When someone is charged with a crime or considered a criminal, is everyone in association with that person as guilty as they are? There is a legal argument that they can be but there is also a logical argument that says it’s ridiculous to think so.

Diddy, Sean Combs or Puff something or other, was recently arrested as you are most likely aware unless you have been living under a rock. The federal indictment leading to his arrest charges him with sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice. His rap sheet now is long and distinguished with quite a few settlements that pretty much indicate either he is now or he’ll soon be broke.

But the federal indictment also asserts that associates of his are guilty as well. Now, that’s why people are scared. Who knows what to believe but the rumors are flying. Usher says his X account was hacked and tweets were deleted but this came coincidentally at the time of Diddy’s arrest so it appeared suspicious. Since speculations went flying, Usher’s account is back up with a new tweet, “Account got hacked and damn y’all ran with it!”
