Would not matter if there was in his time, womanizing was celebrated  in the 60s

Clarkson's words diminish the victims' experience. They didn't ask to "endure" what happened to them.

No wonder not many victims report this sort of thing. They are pushed to the background and invalidated, while the alleged perpetrators are supported and provided with excuses. 

I'm not saying Patton should be tried and convicted by the public or the media, but please, it is better if Clarkson just said, I can't comment while this is under investigation instead of waffling on about something he admits he doesn't know much about (social media platforms and the laws that apply to them ).

Drag racing was totally legal back then.

There might be some gobbledygook there, but if I'm Patton's lawyer (and I assume he has a lawyer), I'd be very upset with Clarkson's comments. Is virtually saying Patton is guilty of something without being specific or clear as to what that might be. Hardly a helpful comment for Patton.
