    Yes, that comment would have gotten more comments

    At least the coach knew and refused to face up to it. He was complicit and therefore also responibller for Bruce's action

    In a way Tim has dealt with a victim, AM and now he has to deal with Tom, another victim. To include all of the comments, would require several pages. I tried to show the three type of comments normally one would experience in reading a comment section of this paper, condolences from friends, and example of an individual hurt and one that uses this method to deal with their frustrations and hurt.

    That evening in bed, "Tim, some of those comments were horrible. I feel sorry for Bruce's family, and to know what people thought of him must hurt." 'It's hard for me to understand how his parents were not aware of some of this. If he brought his conquests home, certainly they suspected something. I certainly would if my son brought a girl home and took her to his bedroom. His mother must be suffering." "Do you think he cared what his parents thought?" "From what I know and have r

    The cover up by staff. When I was in high school, the football team could do no wrong. A teacher could see them cheating, but football was an income generator. They were the privilege, and if a teacher did lower the proverbial boom on them, she was ostracized in some fashion. I knew there were girls who dated the football team and from the stories I heard they were supporting the team, on dates. You could tell the popular girls and looks wasn't the criteria. I knew many pretty girls who did not date these sport heroes and they were not voted to class offices or prom queens. I suspect this school was no different

    I believe that someone on staff knew what was going on and ignored it. For what reason, I don't know unless that basketball trophy meant so much they were willing to ignore it.

    Nor did they have a friend like Mary Jo who put Bruce in his place. of course that led Bruce to the rape of Ann Marie thinking it was May Jo. I think the girls were ashamed and that is why they didn't band together

    Tim has plans for Tom once Tom finishes teaching this term. I expect Alex to advise Tim

    Yes, you are right. I think anyone siding with Bruce is doing just that.

    Yes, they will have to move as well as his wife and her parents.. Although she could claim ignorance.

    You are correct but in every town there is a lot of dirt swept under the rug with the intention that that rug is never removed.

    I'm sure Mom has felt the burn as they say but I would bet she sighed a breath of relief. I don't think she was in favor of Tim issuing that law suit. I'm sure she felt some relief when she heard Bruce was dead.

    When Tim was reading the comments he noted several stating their condolences to his family, as one would expect from friends and relatives. Tim was interested in the mood of the people, so he concentrated on the negative comments

    Rich sent over some of the comments that the editor decided not to publish. Stephen and I sat on the sofa with a cup of coffee and started to read these comments. “Look at this word, vilest.” “Whoever wrote this comment used that word frequently.” ‘The vilest piece of shit that ever walked this earth was Bruce Stevens. He was so vile he smelled like a pile of shit that stank worse than cow manure, and in fact, cow manure would smell like roses next to him.’ “I wonder if that was someon

    do you really want to read negative thoughts?

    I think that is what Tim has in mind.

    Timothy still has financial control over AM's money. That may change but it hasn't yet. Originally, Tim was going to place AM there after her hospital stay, that has changed and I would expect Tim to turn the income from that place or the money from the sale of the place to her.

    The boys believed they have resolved AM's problem and now they must turn to Tom's healing

    I think the boys need a calm period, they have taken on other people's problem and now they need to fop on themselves for a while.

    Now there is a thought. I agree they need a break and I have told you what they are going to do.

    Do you really want to se the comments? How about I read them and select one or two as representative of them.

    I would expect both. If they were seriously hurt by Bruce you might expect something like hey hey the wicked man is dead

    You are right, the comments will be all over depending on who they are, friends of family versus those who knew what he did.
