I won't pretend today that I'm happy about the Sandusky trial ending. No, I am most definitely not a supporter of this damaged asshat. I'm sad. I'm sad that someone so fucked up was allowed to take advantage of so many kids. I'm sad about a culture of silence and dominance that fosters this kind of activity.
Mostly I think the case makes me remember my own experiences as an abused child. I wonder what it would be like if the abusers had to stand and admit what they had done in a public forum. To accept the consequences of what they did. To have to look me in the eyes and listen while I explain to them how very much they fucked up my life. How very long it took me to begin the recovery process. How 40 years later I am still struggling with chunks of it.
Mostly I just want to take every person who has ever sexually abused a child and stick their pecker in a live outlet. That's a much better use for it than the one they chose.
Amen! Can my grandfather get a place in that line please?
