Saltpetre, perhaps?
All these celebrity sexual harassment cases are one thing.
But we also have all these other cases not involving celebrities. Some of them close to home, such as:
SC preacher accused of leading a cult arrested on sexual misconduct allegations
A South Carolina man who has been previously accused of sexual misconduct and of leading a cult in Colleton County was arrested Monday.
Ralph Gordon Stair, 84, was arrested on eight warrants the Colleton County Sheriff’s Department and the State Law Enforcement Division, according to Live 5 News. ABC News 4 has reported he is facing charges of assault with intent to commit first-degree criminal sexual conduct, third-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor, kidnapping, first-degree burglary, second-degree burglary and three counts of criminal sexual conduct….
And then there’s this really horrible one:
Midlands man accused of sexually assaulting 6-year-old
Words fail me.
Everywhere we turn, there are men who have not only lost control, but whose impulses have become twisted in bizarre and sometimes horrific ways.
And yeah, I know saltpeter doesn’t really work as rumored. I just mention that because it’s the first alleged anaphrodisiac we think of. And no, I don’t want to chemically neuter the good guys who wouldn’t think of doing any of these things.
I’m just thinking how much of this stuff there is going on out there, often right under our noses. And how do you stop all the assaults by aggressors we don’t even know about?
That’s why I threw out the Swiftian proposal of putting something in the water. No, I wasn’t serious. But I wish I could think of something that would put an end to this stuff — without, you know, putting an end to the species…
Oh, you think those are bad. Find any DSS caseworker in this state and ask them how their day went. How any of those poor people don’t go on a shooting rampage to cleanse the earth of the “good people” of South Carolina is beyond me.
