Lawyers looking into offenses going back to the 1970's: 5,000 accused abusers' names released via court order, but now a victims' organization says there are hundreds more names not released by the SBA.

I don't know what to say about this.

The Boy Scouts have certain things in common with the Catholic Church which makes them interesting to lawyers:

  1. Extensive assets which can fund big payouts
      Extensive records going back many decades, and
    1. The "gotcha" factor: "People used to think you were so decent, so "morally straight". Hypocrites!."

    You wonder ... I wonder ...how much is a search for justice for men who say they were molested 40-50 years ago, and how much is a desire to access $$$ and discredit/destroy traditional institutions.

Truly sad situation for BSA. The Left destroyed it.

Homosexual pedophiles may yet bring down scouting and Catholicism.

Awww. What a shame. A boys oriented social club that welcomes degenerate faggot supervisors and is surprised that the children in their charge are molested?

Shut that organization down. Send the boys to Christian scout clubs.

Maybe the Boy Scouts can use the US Catholic Bishops commissioned ‘Jay doctrine’ for their defense. It is not ‘abuse’ after puberty, (confirmation) just random homosexuality.

They need to just disband and sell off the assets to similar organizations that will carry on the tradition.
I don’t know if the Boy Scouts as they have always been known, can ever recover it’s reputation and credibility with families. They have been PC attacked and dollar decimated by those who sue to get their way.

The basic purpose of the Scouts is absolutely still needed by boys today more than ever. I said BOYS, not girls, not trans-boys, not Pan-Gendered-Non curious, Non-_Cis Boys either.

What’s crazy is the bsa kept these records so they could keep these pedos from moving to another scout group and doing it again.

Sooner or later, the pedophiles are going to start suing the boys for resisting their advances.

I still have a problem believing it was as widespread as claimed...not that there weren’t abuses, but it does seem to me that it would have been difficult for the Boy Scouts to cover it up, at least relative to the Catholic Church, for example - where you’d be going against an institution that’s nearly 2000 years old.

To put it another way, there were a LOT of police departments and prosecutors who were not necessarily into the ‘male-bonding’ that is claimed to have taken place and they would not have hesitated to toss the a-holes into jail...yet nothing but silence then, at least as far as I can remember.

Now today, TOTALLY DIFFERENT - people are scared to death to go after this crap...I would believe anything, given the pro-pedophile bunch we’re now up against.

“destroy traditional institutions”

That’s what it is really about. Just one more part of their revolution.

Thank homosexuals. Never should have let them near kids. Everyone needs to learn the lesson from this, else it will be repeated, and likely is whereever there are homosexuals around kids.

I won’t be happy until they go for a BK Chapter 7 and close it down.

Once they went down the path of basically supporting Homosexuality, they destroyed their reputation forever.

I have no doubt that people are out for money, not justice....just money....

a man can make up a story just like that because it was decades ago and a lot of the abusers, or so called are dead or senile.....there is no defense to muster because people have their minds made up.....

There are times when the civilized world faces a truly demonic enemy who is the personification of evil.

This is one of those times.

There is no pillar of American society that liberals do not seek to sully and destroy.

Letting gays into the BSA as scout masters was the Trojan Horse to destroy it.

A great organization that has done a lot of good over the years destroyed in the name of perversion.
