RUSS-THE CAVALRY HAS ARRIVED-New Video-RonJohnson Defending Dioceses That Reassign Pedophile Priests

WI Sen Breaking: New Video Shows Bearded Johnson Defending Dioceses That Reassign Pedophile Priests

Earlier this year, Ron Johnson, testified before the Wisconsin State Senate on behalf of the Green Bay Diocese Finance Council, which has ultimate decision power in deciding whether to settle abuse law suits and can even overrule a diocese's bishop decision in how to proceed.

..................

Unbelievably, during his testimony, Johnson asks a jaw-droppingly stupid question:

*****I think its a valid question to ask if the employer of the perpetrator should also be severely damaged, possibly destroyed, in a legitimate desire for justice?

................................

Unfortunately, this isn't hypothetical wondering for the Green Bay Diocese. Their entire leadership has a long, troubling record of reassigning instead of arresting pedophile priests.

It's shameful that Ron Johnson would serve under such an unhonorable group and absolutely disgusting that he would go to the Wisconsin State Senate to defend them and do their bidding.

3. After watching part of the video
I would have no qualms over nailing the RCC to a cross. Hoist on its own petard indeed.



Tansy Gold, who believes in capital punishment for corrupt organizations, but not for people.

5. Well, look at it this way. At least you didn't write
"calgary." I had a friend years ago who invariably wrote and spoke "calgary" when she meant "cavalry" because she associated the Stampede with horses, and, well, you can see where that leads.



All fixed now, all better!

6. More evidence that Johnson is either....
A. A scumbag out to defend pedophiles.

or

B. A moron who doesn't understand the law was not meant to punish organizations that had no knowlege of abuse, only those that intentionally covered up such abuse.


In any case, we need to make sure Russ is re-elected. Your help is appreciated.
