Basically, this just encourages priests to silence their victims.
Statute of limitations is still a thing.
I mean sure, but whether or not you’re a member of a club should have exactly not a damn thing to do with it.
I haven’t looked into this case. Are they actually making a specific ruling regarding priests, or is it just that this case involved priests? I could easily see headlines claiming the ruling to be more specific than it actually is, for clickbait reasons.
It isn’t that specific. The supreme court ruled that because it is hard to build a defence after so much time has passed, it is against the constitution to allow people to sue someone after the statute of limitations has passed. Failing to recognize it is even harder to prove you’re a victim after such long time has passed.
Agreed
There is no statute of limitations on murder. There should also not be one on sexual assault, especially not when a child is assaulted.
I actually didn’t know that!
Yea I mean do crimes not expire in the U.S.?
Depends on the crime. You’ll find most places have a statute of limitations only on certain crimes while other crimes (usually ones that cause grievous harm) don’t.
If they’re against the powerful: They do, and almost immediately after committing them. Corruption is legal here.
If priests weren’t allowed to sexually abuse minors then they wouldn’t be priests!
Stop the country, no stop the fucking hemisphere, I want to get off.
If someone besides elon or one of his sociopathic peers put together a generation starship to colonize a new galaxy I’d sign up in a second
We just have to convince a significant number of “rabble rousers” to sign up for a colony ship even if it is Elon’s, then riot and overthrown the colonial authorities once we’re far enough away he can’t readily send reinforcements.
I’d much rather just tell the fruitcakes to go with Elon and the others.
Then we can start cleaning the place up
Usually you’re supposed to explain suggestions for other means of recourse for the victims.
