People Attempting to Undermine Safe Sport

[Ilovemyhorses]

On the Facebook page “Nova Area Equestrian” someone just posted about shows at Tamworth Farm in Aldie. Tamworth is next door to River Chase basically (1 farm between the two locations). The person who posted the details of the show has photos linking her to River Chase/Tom Navarro (recently). The properties are not owned by the same people. I hope this is a honest attempt at running a good quality horse show at a neighboring farm (without River Chase ties)… and not an attempt at encouraging River Chase/Tom Navarro to host off site shows.

And it didn’t take Wulfcrest long to “like” the post.

Doubt it, person that posted is friends with the entire family and many of their borders.

I don’t believe in coincidences.

Are these recognized shows, or just schooling?

[Ilovemyhorses]

Seems to be just schooling shows. But a series of them.

There was a sports journalist who participated on a different SafeSport related thread about two years ago. She was collecting information as part of her research process for a broader national report she was working on, I believe. I recollect who her saying that riding and figure skating were unique in terms of participants’ push back against SafeSport. I’m not sure if riding is still high in terms of the numbers of sanctions relative to the numbers of total participants, but I believe it was back then.

This was the Bloomberg article I beleive

Larry Nassar mixed with the wrong people in prison . Heard on radio just now, multiple stab wounds

Sex offender Larry Nassar stabbed multiple times in prison

I recall he got the snot beaten out of him pretty early in his prison term.

My compassion meter is registering a steady zero.

[hoopoe]

yup child molesters, I have heard, are not favored in prison society ranks. The needle barely wiggled here as well

[BrownDerby]

Every single one of his victims got a lifetime sentence too.

It’s good to be old.

Thanks for the earworm!

He’s lucky he didn’t get sugared. Not the first CSO to get stabbed, won’t be the last.

I used to induct people into prison. Older white men were always assumed to be CSOs, why else are 60 and 70 yos going to gaol for the first time, right? So I used to tell the first-timers “don’t tell people why you are here. Do not show them your charge sheets under any circumstances. Say you committed pension fraud or drink driving”. I had this chap come in, first time, meets the profile. Asked him why he was here… and bugger me, he’s here on pension fraud charges! Really sad case, and the courts decided to make an example of him.

Sh!t, I thought to myself. There goes the cover story! (He was fine, nothing happened to him. I gave him some tips to prove to his peers he was not a CSO)

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy /s

Screw Nasser. Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.

Could someone please explain this part? Is it easier to serve in federal prison instead of the state version?

“The change of plea… was part of a deal between Fellers and state and federal attorneys dealing with his case that should allow him to serve his sentence in a medium-security federal prison instead of an Oregon state penitentiary.”
