The Best and Worst Of Our Future

JoeRedskin · 02-21-2013, 11:04 AM

I'm with BHA. Sorry, if we, as a society, don't agree that we have to respect those that we, as a society, put into positions of authority, that's called anarchy. It's called the Rule of Law for a reason folks.

Those in authority need to be held accountable for abuses of the trust placed in them by us and should, when they so abuse it, be held to a higher standard than those not occupying positions of public trust.

This was a clear case of someone being disrespectful to the person and the position. The initial penalty was more than fair, and, I suggest to you, many a judge would consider this judge's actions lenient.

The apology was appropriate, order was restored and the end of civilization as we know it was averted.

The most interesting fact is both sides generally dont care. And its reflected in attitude as well as behavior. Dont get wrong there are some who care alot and there mostly behind the scenes. But when it comes down to trust and honesty, no matter how much I like a person "in the system" or their family, I wouldnt trust them about anything.

Couldn't be said any better than this...

I had no idea anarchy was so easily attained. Shocked, and embarrassed, at my own naivete. Not sure how I'll find the inner strengh to keep posting here...

JR is a good soldier for the Man. Any disparaging of his wonderful system would clearly lead to a world of anarchy and mass insanity. Clearly a teenager's expression of disrespect toward a member of his beloved profession proves the end of the world is near

The other sad part of this story is that the town is divided over the rape. How the hell could anyone take the boys side with all the evidience against them. I could see maybe a few people but this article says 50 to 80% of the town are for the boys. Then there is the cover up and the scum of a coach which I'm guessing still has a job.

The only reaction I had to that article was remembering how much I enjoyed Django Unchained.

The same reason why many still back Penn State and Joe Paterno. They dont' give a shit about rape or child molestation if it isn't happening to their own. Just give them their football.

Girls life is ruined, that's a disgraceful sentence. Brand 'Rapist' on their foreheads on release. I hope, but don't expect, society to ostracise them. Scum.

As an educator it sickens me that there are teachers that may have refused to testify with knowledge of the situation. I can only hope that if they did obstruct justice that they receive a punishment worse than the slap on the wrist the boys received.

I agree the sentence is not right but they will have to be listed their intire life as a sex offender.
