“There was a scout leader in our town years ago. He was married but was ‘diddling’ boys in the troop. I heard through the grapevine that the “situation was handled”......I.e. A group of fellars beat the ever-lovin’ crap out of him.”
A junior high teacher in my home town was also a self-aggrandizing scout leader who was widely admired for his “interest in the development of the young people” and his claim that he was giving the boys special “leadership training.” Many of the parents were thrilled that this guy spent outside time with their children and was a special mentor to them.
Eventually the fact that he’d been sexually abusing the students was about to come out in public. How did the scout leader handle that? He took a shotgun and shot himself, his wife and his three school age children, all found dead in their home.
Shooting himself was appropriate. To do that to his wife and kids was pure evil.
He should have shot himself before molesting or killing anyone else.
