my email response to John B Wells making a radio comment about hitting Jerry Sandusky in the head with a baseball bat and his reply to my response

First listen to this audio clip from Coast To Coast AM :

Then read the emails :

me :

I’m sending this message in response to you talking on-air about hitting Jerry Sandusky in the head with a baseball bat. I’m just curious whether or not you have the same reaction to all the adult female teachers who are found “guilty” of having sex with their underaged male students; many of whom are younger than Jerry Sandusky’s alleged victims. There’s no difference in my mind, yet it seems most of society has a gender bias when it comes to pedophile men versus pedophile women, as opposed to considering them equally “abominable”. Are you one of those people? Or would you also like to see the women get hit in the head with baseball bats?

John B Wells :

Marcellee,
My question was ‘where was a man with the baseball bat to take the swing that counted?’. That’s as close as I can remember at this moment.
It meant : ‘why was nothing done by anyone to stop this?’. In most abuse cases, somebody knows something but does nothing. Including the victim.
Make of it what you wish.
