Well, our Constitution preferred that Due Process take place in a court of law... But theoolice have not even had time to break out their pencils yet on any PSU admins. Todays events center around PSU and theirr actions against their employees, which is not exactly what i was talking about... But What PSU did today was far more about CYA than Scholastic Justice. Again, why did they mete out such punishments (which are far beyond what most first-timers get for failure to report), and so quickly, especially when the events reported happened so long ago? Media pressure is driving these events, not common sense (as clearly evidenced icon this thread), and that should make most thoughtful and rational people pause for a moment. I’m trying, but it doesn’t seem to be taking hold here..
The events covered specifically in the grand jury were long ago.
Had you been following this story, you would know that since the investigation has gone public more kids from the second mile have come forward. This isn't "All so long ago" for them.
The children to whom this happened likely have post traumatic stress disorder. The experiences from all those years ago will flashback with full sights, smells, sounds, tastes, tactile sensations, and they will be reduced to the mental and emotional state of the child they were when these rapes happened.
It isn't "So long ago" to them.
You are all upset that people think that those who didn't stop this should be fired in disgrace pending investigation and trial.
Too bad.
By my evaluation, and that of many here the evidence presented not only warrants an investigation and trial, it warrants an immediate firing.
You think you are being treated harshly.
That people are saying unfair things about you.
Too bad.
You have attempted to insinuate that those who wish people involved in covering for this be fired forthwith also want them to face legal action before a trial. That is generally not so.
Then you accused others of Hyperbole.
Pot, meet kettle.
