Watching the victims react to the verdict....
Shocking how molestation and abuse, even though so many long years ago, can still stir up memories of intense pain and raw emotion.
You could see in their face that the nightmare never goes away until justice is finally served.
Most people can not imagine anything ever happening within their own life that would or could ruin the rest of their life.
Molestation has got to be one of the most if not the most personally devastation act perpetrated upon an innocent.
Not only does the terror (for a lack of a better word) last a lifetime, the fact they had experienced such an horrific act will shape everything the victim does and might do in their future.
Their relationships.
Their ability to relate to others.
Their ability to trust those around them.
Their ability for an successful marriage.
Their ability as a parent.
It may cause the victim themselves to become violent in later years and twist their mental stability to such an extent that one might commit murder, beat their wife, abuse and molest their own children, torture innocent living creatures.
To lash out for no apparent reason.
When someone commits any horrid act, then should they be caught and brought to justice, too often a history of abuse and molestation in the family evolves.
Suggesting a possible motive for the perpetrator to have committed the act or acts of violence unto others.
The emerging pattern of abuse.
And with that we have to ask, how responsible was the perpetrator for the violence committed?
Was this act the result of a mind so damaged after itself having been molested and abused?
People wonder and ask, how could anyone ever commit such horrific acts unto others?
Well, what happened in the perpetrator past could be a clue if not the answer.
Not to give Cosby his free get out of jail card, but we have to wonder if Cosby himself might have been the victim as a kid?
What was Cosby's upbringing?
And if having been abused himself and should Cosby had experienced his perpetrator brought to justice, might that had not finally broken the pattern?
Given Cosby or any other perpetrator their peace in knowing justice was served?
Broken the pattern of abuse?
In short and despite Cosby's age and health, the victims of Bill Cosby need to experience this justice.
To have peace in knowing their accusations have finally been heard and believed.
And... to break the pattern they themselves may have repeated.
If Cosby was once a victim and he had experienced justice, might Cosby had never engaged in acts of violence?
