For those who do not know this local gone National story in Yamhill, OR:
Two 13 year olds, Ryan Cornelison and Cory Mashburn were being tried for Felony Sex
Abuse by the Yamhill County District Attorneys on criminal charges for swatting and groping
at Patton Middle School students. If common sense had prevailed, one would tend to believe
that the Vice Principals office would have handled this matter promptly, contacted the parents
of the children involved and and let this course of action work itself out with home detention
and perhaps a temporary suspension.
But instead the case was met with cruel, unwarranted, draconian measures in the Vice President's
Office with overzealous police actions which resulted with waived miranda rights by the two 13 year
olds with full confessions and subsequently sent the case to the Yamhill County District Attorney's Office.
The Yamhill County District Attorney's Office decided to charge the two boys with Felony Sex Abuse charges
if convicted carries a lifetime sentence as sexual offenders with lifetime reporting of their whereabouts which
amounts to continual public harassment and ridicule.
These boys were subsequently charged, handcuffed by the police, brought through local and national news
media outlets and incarcerated. The actions by the Yamhill County DA's office caused a severe strain to the
families and communities involved, thousands of dollars spent from the community funds, and two weeks of
National ridicule.
Facing pressure from the community, from the families of all involved including the victims to have the
charges dropped, the DA's office tried to lower the charges to misdemeanors. Later, when rational thinking
by the DA's office began to emerge, the prosecutors asked for dismissal of all the charges. But still, that
left open the charges of misdemeanor harassment charges for which a trial was required.
The judge, trying the case had correctly stated, "in the interest of justice", dismissed charges but
only to the credit of the four girls listed as victims, who asked the judge to drop all of the charges.
However, as part of a civil compromise, each of the boys were to apologize to the victims, pay each
victim $250, and complete an instructional program on appropriate boundaries for behavior.
All of this seemed reasonable to all parties involved, even deplorably late in coming and all had learned
something from the turmoil, except those of the McMinnville authorities who were so quick to criminalize
misbehavior at a middle school.
Subsequently after the closure of this case, Jeff Ohman of the Oregonian drew up this cartoon:

Thanks dant, for bringing this to the forefront. I was not aware of this travesty, but sadly similar ones have been exponentially occurring for a couple of decades now. They truly do affect me with remorse, sadness and sometimes a rage which quickly dissipates. They are more often than not much more harmful, obscene, etc., than the act they pretend to be correcting.
This may not be the appropriate sub-forum to expound upon this, but here goes.
Prior to the great social changes in this Country, circa 1970, there were a different set of standards, ethics and morals in place, and there was a thing known as shunning. Back then there were probably less psychopaths in positions of power and a smaller pathocracy. If some school administrator, or some DA, etc., pulled something like this, which they wouldn't, they would immediately be in danger of losing their cushy government livelihoods. And, they would be shunned by many neighbors and acquaintances. In other words, they would suddenly become outcasts by much of the community; although I doubt that would have much effect on those who were psychopaths (but maybe would on those close to them) except to feign appropriately in public.
Today a different set of standards, ethics and morals have replaced the old ones. We are told that they are "new and improved." They aren't improvements for sure.
Well, if by some miracle we work our way out of the present situation, where a rather unpleasant curtain is about to descend on us, then it hopefully will be the case that "what comes around, goes around." Those wimpy men and misguided women who seem to have taken over all positions of power will once again be relegated to living beneath their assigned rocks, and saner heads will not allow travesties, such as this one, to happen. If that wonderful, but unlikely, outcome should transpire, I can only hope that the present "goes around" part is on the track of one tail of a hyperbolic curve; or something like that.

Hi Locksmith,
I agree with you that social norms are being corrupted and twisted daily
for the pathcracy's ponerized agendas and and we see it. Innocence is
no longer lightly tolerated and will maximize fear, control, sensationalism
and the iron grip of Fascism beyond common sense and reason, as this
case so clearly demonstrated. I placed this here because I see the
travesty of innocence and the "snide humor" on the part of Ohman
which makes one ponder on the seriousness of the situation.
