Certainly can excuse once, maybe twice, but a continued patten suggests this is more than just poor impulse control due to an underdeveloped prefrontal cortex.

When Wahlberg assaulted people when he as 15 and 16 years old. That doesn’t excuse the behavior, but 15/16 year olds aren’t adults. Wahlberg also went to the police and claimed responsibility for the attack. He then plead guilty in court and served time. It still bothers me how racially motivated it was and for that I would personally always have disdain for Wahlberg.
Cosby was 28 years old for his first time of rape allegations. There would be more than a dozen other women that came forward with reports. The most recent was Feb of 2000 when Cosby was then 63 years old.
Spacy and Weinstein also did their horrible acts as fully formed adults and had a repeated pattern of doing them again and again to people they had power over.

Sorry, what is it you can excuse?

Yes, certainly not excuse. Thank you. Perhaps explain or ameliorate would be better word choice. Most go through teen years without perpetuating acts of racial violence, no excuse.

Cosby kept doing it, even after it had come to light, and he had been sued multiple times. I read an account by a guy whose job it was to take a bag of cash once a month, and distribute cash payments to Cosby’s victims around town.
