Andy Woodward: ‘It was the softer, weaker boys he targeted’

:eek:

Quote:

Yet there are other parts of this story that make it even more chilling. When Woodward was 14, Bennell started having a relationship with his victim’s 16-year-old sister. “He was so much older he didn’t want people to know at first and told me I would never play football again if I breathed a word of it,” Woodward says. “I was frightened to death because he had complete power over me by that stage. It was like a double whammy and he would try to abuse me sometimes even with my sister in the same house. Later, when their relationship became public, he would come round for Sunday dinner every weekend, sitting with my mum and dad and my family, laughing and joking. I was so frightened of him I just had to suffer in silence.”
I wonder how common sexual abuse is in sport youth teams.

I wanna coach the girls high school softball team. I'll grab those teenies by the pussies and show them how to handle some soft balls. And I'll also molest them.

There's crossing the line, and there's crossing the line so far I can't help but applaud you.

Britain has passed the 'most extreme surveillance law ever passed in a democracy.'
The "Snooper's Charter" now requires ISPs and mobile service providers to deep-packet inspect and store everything you do - voice calls, texts, social media and web activities, gaming, and emails... for up to a year... just in case the police ever need it.

So that guy has a rescue dog that has a violent history of attacking and killing other people's pets but he thinks it's fine take it outside in an urban area unfenced, untethered, and unleashed. What a self-centered *******. Instead of pretending he's mother theresa for saving a hummingbird they should be calling animal control on his ass. I hate having to walk my leashed dog around other unleashed dogs. Until that ******* can afford a fenced in yard he needs to quit menacing his neighborhood by adopting animals with a violent past.

I don't want to sound cynical, but feeding a humming bird every fifteen minutes from sun up to sundown, who has that kind of time on their hands? But one thing I can say for him is that he can rule the neighborhood. No one can get the best of him. If anyone who tries to mess with him, he can look them right in the eyes and say "oh yeah? my dog ate your cat." He would totally wreck his opponent every time.

You are by far the most judgemental member on Music Banter. I can't see you passing judgement on anyone for being judgemental.

As many of you may have seen, the Digital Library of Alexandria burned tonight.

To all the musicians and contributors who helped build the planet's largest-ever and best-organized library - do not despair. We will return, bigger and better than before.

Damn you, 2016.

They mirrored Oink's send-off message - "So long, and thanks for all the fish."

Hacker News, The Verge, Spin.com, Gizmodo, The Fader, Pitchfork, FACT Mag, TorrentFreak, and Slashdot have reported the news.

The Batlord 11-17-2016 06:46 PM

Didn't that happen some time earlier this year? Some Russian site with a bajillion text books and ****? Don't remember the name of the site but it was big news and meant that I had to look elsewhere for my stolen digital comic books.

There will always be more pirates.

Edit: Libgen! That was it.

No torrent site has come close to the meticulous organizational perfection, the lossless archival standard, the immense sense of community, nor the massive scale of WCD.

When the Pink Palace went down in 2007, the community was similarly disheartened but determined, and WCD rose as its successor. I can only begin to imagine the greatness which will come in its next incarnation.

Libgen wasn't a torrent site.

I'm not sure why you're comparing Libgen to WCD. I specifically said that WCD was the greatest music site, and referred to its "meticulous organizational perfection, lossless archival standard, immense sense of community, [and its] massive scale."

Libgen is fantastic for its own niche, but my news post was about the loss of the greatest musical library of all time.

To be fair you did not, and if one was drunk it would be easy to miss the single mention of musicians that you made. If of course one was drunk. If.

Fair point. Though I would hope, even in a drunken state, that even if one had been under a rock since 2007 and had never heard of WCD, that the fact that its url ends in .CD that it might be a music site. Or considering the poster is a music-obsessed nerd. Or that this site is called MUSICBanter.

But perhaps I'm asking too much of the inebriated.

You are correct - I did not call it a music site.

But now that we're all on the same page, can we join in mourning this incredible cultural loss?

(Anticipating token Batlord reply of, "No.")

I Googled "drunken shambles" for a relevant meme to express just how drunk and useless I am, but my StarCraft Let's Play video is literally the first and only particularly relevant Google search result for "drunken shambles". Even I would not be so douchey as to post this otherwise, but I am officially the first result in a Google result involving a form of drunkeness and I am kind of tickled.
