I'm just gonna say it: at some point, a person becomes a serious threat and needs to be isolated from society forever. That point is waaaaaaay before molesting 71 children. If you slap someone on the wrists too many times, their hands just go numb.

In Florida this guy would get the chair.

Or he'd hold an elected position for decades

So, 6 months jail time for permanently traumatizing a single child? "Think of the children" indeed!

"Think of the children!"

The priest:

If you think that's bad, here's the joke I was going to post but thought it was in bad taste:

The priest wasn't interested in converting to Islam, he had his 72 virgins already.

The crowds just warmed up - Keep going, you're on fire!

[-] Zozano@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Funny that you mention crowds getting warmed up, that's how you can get your own harem of virgins.

I like my humor dark!

Less than a year per child? That's not enough.

These non-human pieces of shit can be easily put into power over the weak, naive, and vulnerable when a part of the church. It's as simple as "volunteering" to help out with the kid's Sunday school classes, childcare, youth group, "mentoring", and all other kinds of jobs they so selflessly volunteer to do. No background checks needed!

They'll pick out the ones least likely to speak up. They'll gain their trust. They'll form a bond of trust. They'll nurture the relationship. They can easily convince the party they've assaulted that you should be guilty for what happened.. what you made them do.

I know this, because I was a victim many many years ago.

A church in my area recently had an uproar because the pastor's son had been doing things to children. Thing is.. it came out the pastor and his wife knew their son had a "problem" for years before.. AND STILL GAVE HIM FULL ACCESS TO THE CHILDREN IN THE CHURCH!!!

Dead serious: keep your kids out of the church. Do not trust them with your children!!

I'm sorry that happened to you. I read recently of another church leader who killed a little girl he was supposed to be driving somewhere in a group, then pretended she never got on the bus, and comforted her family. In the 1970s. Only recently admitted to the murder. I can't imagine what kind of sociopath takes somebody's baby and then lies to their face for 50 years about what happened.

It's always the ones you most expect.

I guess you get a bulk discount on destroying children's lives. That's fucked up.

Maybe Australia should bring back the death penalty.

[-] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

Australia WAS the death penalty.

Especially if you were indigenous.
