Shouting into the void

I am SO angry right now. After watching (and screaming at) the TV on Thursday, I am in utter disbelief that anyone with half a heart and part of a soul, could think this woman made this up or is lying. Yes, some of the memories might be fuzzy and certain events may not have happened exactly as she remembers them--it was THIRTY SIX YEARS AGO! I would say the same for the man screaming and crying for hours on end. I'm sure he doesn't recall things perfectly either. And no, having a calendar, playing football, going to church, and having friends who say you're a great guy, does NOT MAKE YOU INNOCENT. This guy was unable (unwilling) to answer any question while the woman answered every question and admitted if she didn't remember or wasn't sure. She never flinched, she never wavered, and she was courteous the entire time. He, on the other hand, made himself look like a donkey's behind. Actually, that's an insult to donkeys and their backsides. He exhibited clear signs of alcoholism and uncontrolled rage. He LIED and he doesn't care. And even though the committee before him probably believes he committed this heinous act, they either don't care or they are too cowardly to go against their party. FUCKING COWARDS! They'd rather be accepted by their asshat peers than actually have a conscience. Fuck them with a sharp and rusty stick.

And we wonder why people don't come forward. When they're young, they are scared, feel guilty, and maybe even ashamed. Some feel maybe it was their fault. Those who do come forward are told it wasn't that big of a deal and besides, it probably was all in fun. Nobody believes them. When they get older and have the courage to come forward, they're asked why they didn't say anything when it happened.  Either way, NOBODY BELIEVES THEM. They are harassed, they receive death threats, they're forced to move out of their homes, and people still wonder why they didn't come forward before. THIS IS WHY! This has to change. What if it were your daughter? Your sister? Your wife? Your best friend? Your Aunt? Your grandmother? What if it were YOU? We cannot stand by and allow this to continue. Stand up and fight back. And NEVER back down.
