WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK PEOPLE?

I was on facebook the other day, and my niece's father said something about how it was a 'sad day for football' and how they 'should have let -insertbastardcoach'snamehere- retire with dignity-' or whatever. It pisses me off.

All the riots, and protests, and genuinely hurtful words all these people are spouting...

Have all of you forgotten what this is actually about? What it should be about? Who it should be about?

Remember those eight boys who were violated? Those eight boys who will never feel the same again, who can't get that part of themselves back, who all have such a long, hard journey to healing ahead of them?

Remember that they're the victims in this? That it is them we should be feeling for, them we should be thinking of. Your protests should be for them, not against them. Not for the fucking bastard douchebag who did this to them.

I just. I don't know what to say to all these people. Just. Remember those boys.

All the hugs to them, and all the kindnesses, and healing, and good things. ♥ ♥

We shouldn't support molesters. We shouldn't aid and abet monsters. We shouldn't show them mercy, or forgiveness, or allow them any kind of victory over us. We should focus on the ones that really matter, should show them all the mercy, and kindness, and help, and strength that we can give them.

We should let them know it's okay.

It's okay not to be okay.

It's okay.

You are loved, and thought about, and remembered.

-hugs back-

You don't have to thank me for this, bb. It's just the truth. And I wish I would have had someone to tell me it was okay, so. -shrug- If I can do that for someone else then. I will.

Thank you. I feel exactly the same way. I am horrified at the riots over there. Seriously? SERIOUSLY?? Jon Stewart did something on it too that I was going to report, because SERIOUSLY?
