If these things happened back in the 70’s, why did they wait until now to bring suit? Something is fishy!

Well, if the BSA couldn’t be destroyed by forcing them accept gay scouts and scoutmasters, then destroy them for having gay scoutmasters

[Figment]

Payback for not allowing queer scoutmasters. Accusations from so long ago that can’t be proved either way. They will get paid to go away, or lose in civil court and cost everyone involved a lot of money

WRONG! It doesn't smell "fishy," IT smells MONEY!

I am tired of all of these "I just remembered I was molested" or the "I just found the courage to face the facts" lawsuits! These are all about getting MONEY!

These lawsuits are ALMOST as bad as the 47 year-old murderer who says he killed someone last year because "his Dad beat him when he was growing up" or "he was molested as a teen!" BS!

Life is hard! Life has ups and downs! Life will kick you in the teeth! And MOST normal people put those life experiences into perspective and move on and develop into normal people! But, because the stupid courts and trial lawyers have turned every little blister into a potential million dollar payoff, these pieces of crap all of a sudden crawl out of the wood work to get their share of "social justice!"

I speak from personal experience! I was molested and I have family members who were molested! You know what - I grew to be a man, a Marine, a father and husband! I don't molest, I don't kill and I moved on! If anything, my experience made me want to be sure and NOT be the person that those others were to me! I don't need money to make me "whole!" If you can't make yourself "whole" through God, friends and family - then you probably can't be made whole because you are too busy living and hanging onto the past!

I felt the same about new priest accusations that dated back generations. It's impossible disprove or to prove particularly in cases where the accused is deceased.

It was a problem in the 1960’s and 70’s. I know in my council a few scout leaders were prosecuted for sexual abuse of scouts at camp.
