wow....
anyway.....
i don't know why, but i am kinda on the same vibe as bw. we have seen how so many times, the scummy filth of the earth have infiltrated the kids' programs for the express purpose of gaining trust and then abusing it.
we have also seen many people be accused with false allegations, and it completely ruins their lives and the lives of their families.
if there is one thing i hate, it is lying. lying is not ok in general, but lying about certain things are so completely and unbelievably live destroying, and this kind of allegation will do that. so if he was totally innocent or absolutely guilty, we shall never know unless there is video of it or a taped confession from him.
i was just having a similar conversation with fezzik jr today. i said it would be a very smart thing to never be alone with a girl, and group dating is better. he asked why and i presented a scenario of a girl claiming rape, but him not doing it and being innocent. at first, it didn't click in his brain that someone would lie about that. then asked him to think what would happen after and accusation like that. as he extrapolated further and further out, you could see how he very much got it.
i told him that even if there was absolute proof that he didn't do anything wrong, even if the girl confessed to lying, there would always be some people that would not believe it. he understood and realized that no one would trust him again and his life would be ruined.
i hope these things are not true for everyone's sake. but if not true, this man died because he knew his life would be over no matter what.
i am a very firm believer that if it is proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that the accuser lied, they should have the fullest sentence the accused would have receive if convicted, and then add half of the max sentence to it.
lying should hurt. lying and causing damage to another because of it should really hurt.
