In reply to the discussion: William Lynch Found Not Guilty in Beating of Priest He Said Sexually Abused Him [View all]FedUpWithIt All
(4,442 posts)I was just clarifying the history of "father" Jerry after you suggested that he may not be a pedophile.
I do not like vengeance attacks and in no way support their becoming socially acceptable but i also carry enough humility to understand that i am not walking in Mr. Lynch's shoes and have no real right to criticize his state of mind.
Lynch and his brother were victims, even according to "father" Jerry's own attorney, and just like those kids at Penn State, they deserved justice. He sought contact with "father" Jerry in an effort to have this justice brought. He said, and a jury obviously agreed, that he was seeking out his attacker, not to assault him, but to have him sign an admission. The sight of the attacker caused him to have an unplanned violent reaction (a quick read on PTSD explains this)
A court reviewed all of this and he was tried and freed. That works for me.
