A jury in Waterbury has awarded $7 million to a former Connecticut Boy Scout who claims he was sexually abused by his troop leader and an older scout in the mid-1970s. The jury found the Boy Scouts of America liable for compensatory damages as well as for punitive damages for recklessness; the punitive damages will be determined at a later time by the judge.snip
There have been dozens of similar lawsuits filed against the Boy Scouts of America across the country. But Slager said few of them have been tried before a jury. Slager believes this is the largest compensatory damages verdict against the Boy Scouts of America and the first case to go to a jury verdict in the Northeast.
Catholic ping!
Remember when the GOPe Presidential Nominee said Boy Scouts should accept gays?
How did 1% of the nation take control?

Isn’t that amazing - me (and millions like me) saying I wouldn’t want my children having anything to do with scouting because I consider it an unhealthy and unsafe atmosphere.
To hang on to that sweet, sweet corporate money, the BSA decided to hand over their kids to the molesters.
Abject evil. I have nothing but total contempt for the organization.
Mitt Romney has been supporting gay Scout leaders for more than 20 years.
In 2002, he punished them by keeping them out of helping during the Winter Olympics.
(Homosexuals represent about 3% of the population;)
That actually seems inflated. I understand it is between 1.5 and 2 percent. The Government and the media inflate the number because it suits their purpose to do so.
3% of the population my eye! They represent 1% - barely. They are simply overrepresented in the big, liberal cities of the USA.
Stevie Wonder could have seen this coming.
NAMBLA success not far behind.
“Remember when the Boy Scouts said changing their policy wouldn’t involve gay scout leaders?”
Remember when lying was against the moral code of the boy scouts?
Now that moral codes are no longer a problem for the scouts...
Remember when the first point of the Scout Law was “A Scout is trustworthy”?
Good times.
It’s a free market. Why doesn’t someone set up a scouting organization with all gay scout leaders and see how many parents sign their kids up?
All the girl’s will know you’re gay
When you join the BSA
Yeah, well, remember when the United States military kicked the homos out of the service? Same things happening here. This nation has gone into the dark obis of hell and coming damnation. There is little to nothing we can do about it. God has removed His hedge of protection from over this apostate and garbage covered nation. We can only hope that enough people will repent and hopefully gain some hope for this ruined nation, but I doubt it. America is basically done.
This 1% has been at war with the 99%. They have won with the liberal media that is probably 33-50% homosexual and this has been their agenda. Stealth victory.
They have the military, the TV stations, the schools, and a strangle hold on all politicians. They will not be happy until they have the Boy Scouts.
I would not allow my child to join the Boy Scouts if this becomes acceptable. It will be a magnet for the predators.
Gates will probably call for the Boy Scouts to “accept” pedophilia as “normal and natural”.
Meanwhile, the alternative to the homosexual boy scouts, Trail Life USA, is reporting 30,000 members as of January, and says they are gaining about 350 new members a month.

caveat emptor
I forget: is Robert Gates one of the “good guys” or the “bad guys”?
One at a time the left is transforming the institutions in this country. Even the Catholic Church is going left. What’s left that they haven’t dragged down to their cesspool level?
