The VERY Low Bar of the Law II

Need you any evidence of the VERY low bar set by "the law", take a gander at the defense's request to drop the charges against Penn State administrators accused of failing to effectively notify the proper authorities about alleged pedophile, Jerry Sandusky's molestation of a child on the Penn State campus. Both are asking the charges be dropped on technical issues.

Shut up with the, "Those issues are in the law for use, and can be valuable to the legal process." I get that legal breath. Read the title of the post! The VERY low bar of the Law - that's the point. A child was molested, and HIS life will NEVER be the same again, nor apparently will a number of other young men. Young men whose productive lives had yet begun. Young men, already identified "at risk" battling the current of growing up against the current of other likely foolish adult choices, sodomized, and two grown men who had long productive lives want out of their responsibility for failing to protect the children on a legal technicality? Now that's what I call being a real man - on the part of BOTH their attorneys and the two men.

Again, shut-up legal breath with the,  "Well the two men are just heeding counsel." Here's a newflash lost in America in 2012. Attorneys provide a SERVICE. If they provide counsel I do not believe is ethical, moral or appropriate - I am the CUSTOMER and I say, "Thanks, but that answer is unacceptable."

Both men are interested in ONE thing - avoiding responsibility for what they failed to do - use their grown-up executive brains to protect the innocent. Didn't. Now they want their mommy, the law, to protect them. Odd, if they used their own standards, they don't get protected.

They may get off. Some do. I hope their own grandchildren's young lives never depend upon men who run behind legal technicalities as their grandfather's have!

However, what am I thinking? This is America where innocent life is illegally taken literally each day. Life I said, the VERY low bar of the law. Here's the saddest part of all - we, collectively are the law. Next time you here Oprah, Ellen, Bill, or some other shill talking about how we have "evolved" think again.

Father we need your protection - from ourselves.
