I would rather have spoken extensively about his abuses of kids but they were cutting people off that didn't stay on the topic (and I was
extremely nervous) of the hearing so I did my best to stick to that, trying to get shots in where I could. I did look right at him when I addressed the board and did the (clearing my throat loudly and rolling my eyes)....'Dr.' Newton, when referring to him. The best though was afterwards, out in the parking lot when I was able to speak my peace (piece? I never know which is right....lol). Rich said he thought he got it on video. Hopefully he'll put it up soon.
I hear ya that it's frustrating that he lives the life he does, but take at least a little comfort in knowing that he knows he's hated in the neighborhood and he HATES that people "throw his past up in his face". Understand that this is a psychopathic personality....a malignant narcissist (seriously, look up the clinical definition and tell me if it doesn't EXACTLY describe that man) who cannot STAND being challenged in any way. How dare anyone?! Don't they know who he is?!?! The fact that I/we now CAN go up to him and say whatever the fuck we please and there ain't a goddamned thing he can do about it pisses him off!!!!! He's humiliated and humbled in front of everyone each time he does anything like this. Years back, shortly before I found Fornits he tried to open a "practice" as a psychologist, treating adolescents and survivors made sure the governing board was aware of his past. The board ordered that the only way he could practice was if he did under the supervision of another treating psychologist. He refused and then ran off to become a "priest" in order to get around the regulations. This is a man who needs to feel like he's in charge, he's the expert. His entire identity depends on him being the respected guru and it's thrown in his face that he's nothing but a pathetic old man, still trying to convince himself and anyone who'll listen that he's an important person. Or even a human being.
My point is that he is not a well or happy man. Little consolation, I know.....but it's something. To see him forced to do anything, let alone listen to us is a small yet satisfying victory. To see him have to (as someone else put it) "sit in homes rap" and have to beg for his precious cupola was pretty damned sweet. Oh...and to watch him squirm as that letter from the survivor was read
into the record was awesome! That was an incredible letter!!!! I'll continue to show up, because I get something out of it. I yelled and screamed the first few times I "confronted" him, but now I'm more calm about it and just state facts or name names or specific incidents that I
know[/b] they remember. That at night, when the lights are out and they're laying there trying to go to sleep I truly believe that the names of those girls and thoughts of those incidents creep into his evil brain. Ruthie to me truly did look stunned for a moment when I locked eyes with her and said "I know it, you know it and He knows it (pointing skyward)". The people around us...some followers, some neighbors....... saw it too and I know things like that plant the seeds of doubt. Those are my small victories. I had nothing for so long...I'll take these.
