Going to see articles like this for the next two years or more.

Because it ain't happening and it ain't ever going to happen. not officially.

which is completely effed up. but none the less we're supposed to get over it.

I'm trying hard to get over it, but then I'm reminded by these titles repeatedly calling for an investigation.

Then we hear of an investigation that was started years ago in like in Manhattan for instance, but of course was shut down, because why? "not enough evidence" to convict.

Poppycock
