Some coach diddles kids and the families and kids have to pay for it through insane tax hikes and less school funding? In what world does that make sense?
They already put the coach in prison for 15 years and probation for 25 years after that. Why punish the local community too? Yes, the families should be made whole, but not at the expense of objectively innocent tax payers and schoolchildren.
In what world does that make sense?
OK logic. I have to admit: school districts in the state would more likely ignore other potential problems without this kind of example being set. God knows that sending one offender to jail doesn't deter future offenders, it only heightens the thrill...
also just gonna write this one down, but it's only a mild killing
It’s very tough. We’re not the only school district in Oklahoma that has faced this, and certainly none of the Ninnekah residents affected this situation
Yeah, we can tell no one affected it. That's how dozens of victims stacked up over decades with no one doing anything about it. A predator doesn't rape that many children without people knowing. None of those people cared until it might cost them money
I'm not a fan of the US lawsuit culture, but it seems money is the only thing Americans truly care about
It's what we were bred, raised, taught, and enforced to care about. Even the church goers because those adapted to the culture as well.
Trying to break that mold is... full of resistance. There's a class of people that have become aware of this, prefer it, and act to maintain this system.
