  • ESPN and NYT should be ashamed for tiptoeing around rape at heart of Penn State outrage

      "McQueary was not an assistant coach when he witnessed the assault on the ten-year old."
      Makes no difference to the child what he wasn't, he wasn't more than a mouse who glanced and went on into his hole. Good knowing if you’re ever being horrendously harmed we can keep on keeping on, when we feel comfortable we’ll mention it to someone, meanwhile you and others continue to get harmed.

      "eyewitness to a hideous violent crime does nothing in the moment about the violent crime"
      Anderson Cooper used the correct words "anal rape", described how the boy was standing with his hands against a wall while he was being raped. Was McQueary thinking "the damage is done, I need to get home", was he initially numb, completely desensitized?
      Children are harmed (legally and criminally) more often than we can know, children with special needs more often than most. They are harmed in their homes, schools, houses of worship, camps, medical settings, foster care, etc. The harm can be considered criminal as in this case; or legal as in corporal punishment and genital mutilation. Too often we know of children being harmed and don’t intervene because the false boundaries of legal/criminal are hindering our commonsense boundaries of safe/harmful. I recently had to contact Alternet over an ad on their website, an American Apparel child porn ad. It took too many emails, facebook comments, and calls to their advertising department to get some change.
      I once worked in a group home for children with severe multiple special needs where conditions were not safe. I repeatedly reported unsafe conditions to my supervisors and managers, nothing changed. I called child protective services directly which initiated an investigation, they informed me the group home was one of the most investigated in the state. Unfortunately, some of the conditions I had reported were not sufficiently corrected long term, resulting in the deaths of several residents. I cannot comprehend how children can continue to be most harmed in a country that calls itself the greatest.
      We must each be diligent wherever and whenever we are not sure if someone is being harmed, especially our most fragile. Most of us cannot comprehend how someone can see a child being criminally harmed and not stop it; however we must each do our part to not wait till we see it. We must each be proactive, find out what the laws are in your community, in some communities mandated reporters are not allowed to report directly to protective services, they must follow chain of command. In New York, some providers of services for children are not required to do background checks on prospective employees and volunteers, I know of Catholic and Hasidic providers opposing legislation that would require them to do back ground checks.

      Oh no, no fun seeing my comment? Only your own fault for not sending me your "must haves" for comments on crimes on humanity, terrorism, genocide...

      Not nice, m(l)ooser, mocking me for my writing, foolishly failing to address the issue. Khaled's hijackings and the 9/11 hijackers connected Palestinians to 9/11. Everyone who honestly cares knows EIR’s defense, justification, wearing, selling terror is only harmful for Palestinians, Muslim-Americans, OWS. So what is your goal with your worthless comments, hiding something, someone? If you cared for Palestinians you could comment on my concern for how holding on to destructive failed methods is only harmful for everyone, most of all Palestinians. If compagni who oppose Zionism, oppose the US sponsored crimes on humanity Israel commits, know what is happening is a genocide, send money directly to Palestinians, organize and attend events for Palestinians, if we who care can’t object to foolish self-serving groups who moronically feel defending, justifying, selling, wearing terror is how to generate support for their cause, if we who care get mocked because you want us to keep silent, you need more help for you cognitive, reasoning skills than I do for my writing. Obviously you can't comprehend compassion, people making their own effort to engage instead of disconnecting, however difficult. You must have graduated from L'Università dei Cretini with honors.

      Co-founders, organizers, members of EIR openly defend, justify terrorism, only they call terrorism "resistance", wearing and selling their fraud Khaled holding ak47 t-shirts stating "resistance is not terrorism”. They cannot comprehend how keeping innocent, harmless, defenseless people (including children and babies) hostage in deadly conditions is considered terrorism.

      I confronted then on the matter and was harmfully harassed. EIR cannot comprehend how defending, justifying Khaled’s terrorism to people who could have been killed on 9/11, whose family members died on 9/11, who still carry 9/11 PTSD, is harmful for Palestinians, Muslims, world. The hijackings Khaled participated in inspired other hijackings including 9/11.

      I support cutting aid to Israel and other human rights violators (of course the US is one too), I support justice for Palestinians, I support it being included in OWS, however EIR cannot comprehend how foolishly harmful they are to OWS and other honest non-violent social justice workers. OWS neglected to weed out harmful self-serving groups. Hopefully OWS can finally see the difference between honest non-violent, pro-peace, social justice groups from fools wearing terrorists hugging machine gun frauds.
