Evidence of Giants?

Evidence of Giants?
This is a deep subject so, I'm only going to post my sources of information in a layed out way that I have not seen before. I expect this to be a long post, with important subjects so I will cram them together and it will require some extra clicking on your part if you want to fact check based on my links.
This is speculation and gathered evidence to help everyone come to their own conclusion I am not accusing any organization or party to be responsible, yet am only providing the obvious trails left for us to pick up.
GIGANTISM:

Yes we all know about Gigantism, what causes it? Those with Gigantism have been recoreded to have larger Pinael Glands in the past, today we refer to the as a tumor; "By definition, gigantism must occur during childhood before the growth plates in the long bones of the body (for example, the femur or humerus) have closed. In adults, the condition is called acromegaly. Gigantism is most often caused by a benign tumor on the pituitary gland called a pituitary adenoma. "
I wont go into the pineal gland, thats for you to get into, but that is a very interesting area of your brain and its quite interesting that is the area that causes you to grow to immense size.

'Cyclopean masonry is a type of stonework…built with massive…boulders, roughly fitted together with minimal clearance between adjacent stones and no use of mortar… The term comes from the belief of classical Greeks that only the mythical Cyclopes had the strength to move the enormous boulders…' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclopean_masonry#:~:text=Cyclopean%20masonry%20is%20a%20type,or%20no%20use%20of%20mortar.

EGYPT: I was pretty surprised seeing these photos which is what initially got me interested in this subject and finding all their sources proved more difficult than one would think.
Unknown Source: This came up with 1,875 results when I reverse image search, attempting to find the origin of this photo and every single website I click was shutdown, no idea why but I have posted my tineye results if you want to try :)
Theres a couple things off in this, first off they are grabbing birds as if they can reach the sky, second you can see another person underneath.

Throughout history we have had too much claims of giants to just ignore, so lets at least look at the stories of the past.

QUOTES (Giants & Cyclopes): "The eyes of that species of extinct giants, whose bones fill the mounds of America, have gazed on Niagara, as ours do now. Contemporary with the whole race of men, and older than the first man, Niagara is strong, and fresh to-day as ten thousand years ago."
— Abraham Lincoln, Mounds Of America (1848)
​
“For many generations…they obeyed the laws and loved the divine to which they were akin…they reckoned that qualities of character were far more important than their present prosperity. So they bore the burden of their wealth and possessions lightly, and did not let their high standard of living intoxicate them or make them lose their self-control…
But when the divine element in them became weakened…and their human traits became predominant, they ceased to be able to carry their prosperity with moderation.”
―Plato, Timaeus
​
“A giant helps Merlin build Stonehenge. From a manuscript of the Roman de Brut [1100s] by Wace in the British Library (Egerton 3028). This is the oldest known depiction of Stonehenge.”
―Wikipedia
​
In Rouen, in 1509, in digging in the ditches near the Dominicans, they found a stone tomb, containing a skeleton whose skull held a bushel of corn, and whose shin bone reached up to the girdle of the tallest man there, being about four feet long; and, consequently, the body must have been seventeen or eighteen feet high. Upon the tomb was a plate of copper, whereon was engraved, ‘In this tomb lies the noble and puissant lord, the Chevalier Ricon De Vallemont, and his bones.’
— John Platts, Encyclopedia of Natural and Artificial Wonders and Curiosities, 1876
​
“In 1829, when the hotel was built in Chesterville, a mound nearby was made to furnish the material for the brick. In digging it away, a large human skeleton was found, but no measurements were made. It is related that the jaw-bone was found to fit easily over that of a citizen of the village, who was remarkable for his large jaw. The local physicians examined the cranium and found it proportionately large, with more teeth than the white race of today. The skeleton was taken to Mansfield, and has been lost sight of entirely.”
—History of Morrow County and Ohio, 1880
​
“In Seneca township (Noble County, Ohio) was opened, in 1872, one of numerous Indian mounds that abound in the neighborhood. This particular one was locally known as the “Bates” mound. Upon being dug into it was found to contain…remains of three skeletons, whose size would indicate they measured in life at least eight feet in height. The remarkable feature of these remains was they had double teeth in front as well as in back of the mouth and in both upper and lower jaws. Upon exposure to the atmosphere the skeletons soon crumbled back to mother earth.”
—Howe’s Historical Collections of Ohio, Vol. II, Part 1 (1907)
​
“Ages before the Romans existed, the fair land of Italy was inhabited by nations who have left indestructible monuments as the only records of their history. Those wonderful cities of early Italy which have been termed Cyclopean, are thickly scattered throughout certain districts, and are often perched like eagles’ nests, on the very crests of mountains, at such an elevation as to strike amazement into the traveler who now visits them, and to bewilder him with speculations as to the state of society which could have driven men to such scarcely accessible spots for habitation, and to entrench themselves therein with such stupendous fortifications.”
―Louisa Caroline Tuthill, History of Architecture, 1848
​
“In all the existing remains of Cyclopean architecture…there is a singular resemblance for which it is difficult to account. It has been suggested that the Cyclopeans were a kind of Freemasons employed to construct lighthouses, citadels, &c., who handed down their mysterious art from generation to generation; and that the stupendous nature of their edifices led to the fables with which the name is associated.”
―Charles Boileau Elliott, Travels in the three great empires of Austria, Russia, and Turkey, Volume 2 (1838)
​
“He who has not seen the so-called Cyclopean cities of Latium…those marvels of early art, which overpower the mind with their grandeur, bewilder it with amazement, or excite it to active speculations as to their antiquity, the race which erected them, and the state of society which demanded fortifications so stupendous on sites so inaccessible as they in general occupy; — he who has not beheld those sublime trophies of early Italian civilization — the bastion and round tower of Norba — the gates of Segni and Arpino — the citadel of Alatri — the many terraces of Cora — the covered way of Praeneste, and the colossal works of the same masonry in the mountains of Latium, Sabina, and Samnium, will be astonished at the first view of the walls of Cosa.
​
Nay, he who is no stranger to this style of masonry, will be surprised to see it on this spot, so remote from the district which seems its peculiar locality. He will behold in these walls immense blocks of stone, irregular polygons in form, not bound together with cement, yet fitted with so admirable nicety, that the joints are mere lines, into which he might often in vain attempt to insert a penknife: the surface smooth as a billiard-table; and the whole resembling, at a little distance, a freshly plastered wall, scratched over with strange diagrams.”
―George Dennis, The Cities and Cemeteries of Etruria, London, 1848
​
“…the Cyclopes…are supposed to have built all the so-called “Cyclopean” works whose erection necessitated several regiments of Giants…
They are called “Builders,” and Occultism calls them the Initiators, who…thus laid the foundation stone of true Masonry.”
―H.P. Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine

https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.carnavalet.paris.fr%2Ffr%2Fcollections%2Fla-place-des-victoires " After Colbert's death in 1683, his rival Louvois succeeded him as building superintendent. Two major town planning operations were decided under his ministry: Place des Victoires and Place des Conquêtes or Place Louis-le-Grand, our Place Vendôme. In the center of the first, imagined by Marshal de La Feuillade and designed by Hardouin-Mansart, stood a full-length statue of Louis XIV. The plinth was decorated with figures of captives in bronze representing the powers vanquished by the king and bore a Latin dedication which has remained famous: VIRO IMMORTALI (“To the immortal man”). The square was decorated with lanterns where perpetual fires were to burn. This device caused talk throughout Europe: people laughed at the new paganism instituted in honor of the monarch;they were scandalized by the humiliating representation of the captive powers. In March 1686 the solemn dedication of the statue took place, which was accompanied by unprecedented ceremonies: parade of the regiment of French guards, gathering of the Châtelet and the corps de Ville in the square, solemn unveiling of the statue in the presence of the royal family led by the bottlenose dolphin. “We have never seen, admires Sourches, a crowd like that which occupied all the streets which arrived at the place, and the bourgeois of Paris were unleashed to see a spectacle which lasted only a moment. The only thing missing was the main interested party, Louis XIV, whose health kept him at Versailles. "
This is the explanation for that event, what is up with the giants? I don't believe those were apart of the statue. I connected this to the Pantgonian Giants because of this quote from a book:
“The captain-general sent one of our men to the giant so that he might perform the same actions as a sign of peace. Having done that, the man led the giant to an islet where the captain-general was waiting; When the giant was in the captain-general’s and our presence he marveled greatly and made signs with one finger raised upward, believing we had come from the sky. He was so tall that we reached only to his waist, and he was well proportioned.” According to the writings of Pigafetta, Magellan and crew attempted to return to Italy with two of the giants they had encountered, though they were unable to survive the long trip back across the Atlantic."
Pantgonian Giants Sighting = 1602 Giants in Chains Event = 1683
Possibly the French knew of these Giants for along time? Speculation. NEWS ARTICLES: So so so many articles surrounding the findings of giant bones, I would love to find these sources but.. its a newspaper article and I just am not sure I am ready for that level of digging, but heres some pictures :D

THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION https://www.si.edu https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smithsonian_Institution
Why in the HECK is this the first your hearing of this? Well you should be told about the Smithsonian Institution, very big people in the archaeological world and are involved in almost any major discovery.
Legal Obligations: "However, the U.S. Attorney General has concluded that the Smithsonian is so "closely connected" to the federal government that it shares the immunity of the United States from state and local regulation. In accordance with this doctrine, local zoning regulations, ABC licensing provisions, sales and use taxes, and real estate taxes are not applicable to the Smithsonian absent a specific federal statute. (There are several instances in which Congress has required federal entities to comply with state and local laws, so questions about the applicability of specific state and local laws to the Smithsonian should be directed to the Office of General Counsel.)
Courts have also held that the Smithsonian enjoys the immunity of the United States from lawsuits, unless such suits are authorized by Congress under specific statutes, such as the Federal Torts Claim Act (torts), the U.S. Copyright Act (copyright infringement), the Tucker Act (contracts), and Title VII the Civil Rights Act (discrimination)."
https://www.si.edu/ogc/legalhistory
Supreme Court Case in 2018: " Although the Smithsonian entity status question before the Court remains unanswered, providence had guided Petitioner to discover a parallel case, already decided by this Court. God is particularly interested in last wills and testaments, and the fulfillment offiduciary duty by trustees as established throughout the Old and New Testaments, which is the basis for the common law oftrusts, as expressed in the Magna Charta from the year 1215 " " The Smithsonian Institution was established in 1846, Girard College in 1848 so even their similar historical origins are ofinterest when considering their entity status. Girard was one of the richest men in America, Smithson a very wealthy man from the United Kingdom. The trustees were the United States/Congress/Board ofRegents in Smithson’s case and the State of Pennsylvania/Pennsylvania legislature/Board ofDirectors OfCity Trusts in Girard’s case. "

Mound Builders: In another case referring to.. another race, not giants. Something called the "Mound Builders" is a perfect book to read explaining everything IMO.
'The Indian guide points out these mounds to the student of history with a feeling of awe ; he says he knows nothing of them; his fathers have told him that the builders of the mounds were of a different race from them... it must be said moreover that a perusal of the works written about the mounds, especially of the very large contributions to the subject found in the Smithsonian Institution publications, leaves the mind of the reader in a state of thorough confusion and un- certainty.' https://library.si.edu/digital-library/book/moundbuilders00bryc

Isn't this an insane amount of material to cover in one semester?

Hello, Reddit. I was going over my notes for my next history exam. I realized I had written 30 pages of notes between this exam and the last exam (so about a month and a half of information.)
Naturally, I thought this was insane. I've never written this many notes for a class before. It was a lot of information to sift through. So, I opted to check the outline my history professor had sent out to us. This outline included all the information we'd be going through this semester.
The outline was...shocking, to say the least. Is this not insane?

As we come to Friday the 13th, Ontario increases its positive cases by another 20 cases. But as we look at the numbers of cases being tested, we can see the quantity steadily rising. However, even with the large amounts of tests each day, it is unable to stop the tide of the number of cases under investigation. Continuing to grow each day even with the increase of testing capabilities. An important key to focus on is Ontario's 67th case, a man in his 80s. He has been hospitalized and is now the only case in Ontario to do so.
Following the closure of public schools yesterday, various universities and colleges in Ontario are closing as well. Examples like the University of Toronto, York University, Seneca College, etc.
The number of cases today seemed to have overwhelmed even the personnel updating the website as now shortforms are used instead of their original names. ("Peel Public Health" is now just "Peel"). We also have an increase of "pending status" on cases, from the 75th case to the 79th case, we have no information on the case besides the fact that they are in Toronto. This is worrisome as it almost feels like that they're trying to hide the information.

'Dinner with a view' at Seneca One offers glimpse of Sahlen Field | Local News

https://buffalonews.com/news/local/dinner-with-a-view-at-seneca-one-offers-glimpse-of-sahlen-field/article_0b4a5daa-e7a1-11ea-9628-93ac6ca7b654.amp.html?utm_campaign=snd-autopilot&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter_TheBuffaloNews&__twitter_impression=true
The restaurant Osteria 166 is offering "dinner with a view," high above the city in Seneca One tower.
That view happens to include Sahlen Field, the temporary home of the Toronto Blue Jays.
Nick Pitillo, the restaurant's owner, downplayed the connection between his catered dinners and the baseball games.
"People enjoy it," he said of visiting Seneca One. "It's going out to dinner and having fun. It's not necessarily about what's going on below, if you will."
Fans aren't allowed inside Sahlen Field to watch the Jays games due to the Covid-19 pandemic. And opportunities to see into the stadium from outside are limited. Temporary barriers set up around the stadium keep would-be spectators from getting close. Some of the only views are from Seneca One and the Marin building, which loom above the stadium across Washington Street.
Pitillo declined to specify which floor of the tower he is using for the dinners, but said it was high enough for a 360-degree, glass-enclosed view of the city and Lake Erie.
The cost per person for the dinners varies, depending on the night of the week and the price of the food and drinks customers order, he said. The catered meals are delivered from the restaurant, which is nearby on Franklin Street. In Pitillo's setup at Seneca One, there are three rooms that can fit 10 diners each, and three rooms that can accommodate six each. The restaurant is following social distancing guidelines at the tower, he said.
Seneca One has undergone a revival under owner Douglas Jemal. After being dormant for several years, the tower is adding tenants and getting a new paint job.
"The building is the attraction, no question, the building and the views," Pitillo said. "It's exciting to see what's going on in the building."
Pitillo said Osteria 166's business is down 70% from a year ago due to the pandemic, and that the catered dinners at the tower are another way he is trying to keep going. The Buffalo Niagara Convention Center, normally a good generator of customers, is dormant across the street.

So who is paying for dinners at the tower?
"I think it's people that want to get out of the house. It's certain corporations that want to entertain in a safe environment, because everything is Covid restricted," he said.
Meanwhile, Leadership Buffalo is gauging alumni interest in holding a dinner event on the 38th floor of Seneca One tower on Sept. 21, which coincides with a Jays-Yankees game at Sahlen Field. The proposed cost is $300 per person, a price that includes dinner and bar.
Leadership Buffalo in its message said it was surveying alumni interest before committing. The group's executive director, Althea Luehrsen, did not return messages to comment.

Looking for great, family-friendly same-day (or 1-overnight) outings in or around Upstate this summer. Details in text.

Dad = 50-ish, Mom = 45-ish, kids x2 = tween/early teen
I guess my geographical range would be <3 hours of Syracuse metro. Closer is a bit better, but really good stuff worth the drive time is ok too. Outdoorsy stuff is fine (but not hardcore outdoorsman stuff though). Cost is a consideration, especially if there is significant driving (gas, tolls) or if an overnight is needed.
Here are some regular go-to's that we kind of default to because we lack imagination:
  1. Watkins Glen (one of my favorite places in the state)
  2. Taughgannock Falls, Ithaca
  3. Niagara Falls
  4. The Strong Museum/ Museum of Play, Rochester (so. effing. expensive.)
  5. Corning Museum of Glass, Corning (LOVE IT!)
  6. Cornell University Campus / Art Museum
  7. Rosamund Gifford Zoo
Places we've gone to once or twice and liked, or liked-ish:
  1. Howe Caverns (it was only so-so, TBH)
  2. Herkimer Diamond Mines (a bit too physical, but we scored some good finds)
  3. Wild Center, Tupper Lake, Adirondacks (really enjoyed it - 10/10 would do again)
  4. Ground Zero (but that's not really a place you go to twice as a family outing)
  5. Fort Stanwix (it was cool, but not really a place you return to often)
  6. Baseball Hall of Fame (that's really me, more than the rest of my family)
  7. Ottawa government buildings and Rideau Canal (but no crossing the border rt now, so...)
Places we went and were NOT impressed by:
  1. Boldt Castle (what a run-down P.O.S.)
  2. Adirondack Railroad (shite service, really an embarrassment - we demanded a full refund, and when they did not comply, we got our bank involved, and they refunded the money to us.)
Places I've heard about and would like to check out, or places I've been to myself and would like to bring the fam/kids:
  1. Ausable Chasm (heard about)
  2. Letchworth State park (heard about / read about)
  3. Eternal Flame Falls (heard about / read about)
  4. Various women's history museums and sites, Seneca Falls / surrounding areas (been to)
  5. Legoland - when it's fully open and this whole COVID thing passes, we're so there.
We like cute towns (Skaneateles, Old Forge, Lake Placid, Saranac Lake, Cooperstown), though touristy kitsch can sometimes kill the buzz (I'm looking at you, Lake George).
We love awesome natural features (chasms and waterfalls and stuff - I have connections to the Ithaca area), though we are not the most robust of hikers, and quarantine weight gain has exacerbated this sad reality.
We like local shopping experiences (though did I mention that money is a thing?)
We like a good museum, but are a fickle family with varying tastes, so museums can be tough. Corning always pleases. But for example, my kids outgrew the science museums in Ithaca and Syracuse years ago.
And we love tours of... well, places that interest us. Our best two-day outing last year took us to Vermont, were we did the Vermont Teddy Bear Factory, Cabot Cheese creamery (my son is an absolute cheese fetishist), and Ben & Jerry's all in the same day, and then returned to upstate NY via a river ferry, Fort Ticonderoga (missed the Star Trek museum, though), and Lake George, after an overnight in VT.
OK! So I guess that's enough about us. What's out there, nearby-ish, that we just HAVE TO DO/SEE? (Even outside NYS, but within close distance - figure maybe up to 5-6 hours if we're doing an overnight.)

So You're Visiting Ithaca & Need Something To Do...

Hello there! If you’re viewing this subreddit, you’re either visiting Ithaca and want some insight, or you’re insanely bored at work and have already read the other subs on your reddit front page. If you’re in the former camp, then welcome! Due to some common questions and concerns about our city (lol), here are all of my unabashedly honest answers. I hope you find them satisfactory.

What Should I Eat?

This is where I cite that Ithaca has more restaurants per capita than New York City, a fact that shocks most people until they realize what “per capita” means. So, yes: you get a restaurant, and you get a restaurant, and you… But more importantly, they’re all good – at least, according to the general population here. This is a problem because you want a recommendation and everyone will recommend a different restaurant until all 20 of our establishments are named (okay, so there are more than 20, but seriously Ithaca is not that big). To rectify this, I present my totally objective and not-at-all controversial take on our finest fare:
Fine Dining
Mid-Range Dining, a.k.a. All Sorts of Stuff
Cheapish Eats

Where Should I Drink?

As a college town with a strong local economy, Ithaca has no shortage of bars. I’m torn on whether to sort these by location, aesthetic, or theme, but I’ll do some combination of the latter two. Note that this list only includes bars, and not restaurants that also have bars (of which I’ll give a quick shout-out to Simeon’s, Monk’s, Red’s, Rulloff’s, Maxie’s, Zaza’s, and pretty much any other possessive apostrophe).
Swanky Hipster Bars
Hm. Actually, that’s it. I guess we’re not a very swanky town after all.
College-Townie Mix/Regular Bars for Cool People
Townie Dive Bars

What To Do

Live Music: If there’s one thing you can probably rely on for any given weekend, it’s that there will be music somewhere. The trick is finding where. Ithaca has a lot of local bands—perhaps too many local bands—so there’s that. They will be probably be playing in one of these locales:
Theatre and the Arts: Note how we spell “theatre” here. This means we’re serious. We have quite a few artsy venues around, so check ‘em out:
Museums and Smart Stuff:
Wineries and Alcohol
Hiking and Trails
Ithaca is obviously known for its nature and trails, so I’ll try to make this as simple as possible if you need to pick a spot in a pinch. Better yet, just go to this website that lists and explains every single trail much better than I could. But to summarize:
General Fun & Leisure

Heroes of the Dorm 2018 - Recruitment Thread

Heroes of the Dorm 2018 - Recruitment Thread

Edit: 2/4 - updated incomplete teams list

Hey everyone! I’m Patrick, the head admin for Heroes of the Dorm, I wanted to create this thread for ease of access to signups for this year's competition. We have a smaller registration window this year, where registration is ending on February 5th! Feel free to use this list as a way to find other players from your school. If you’re already slated to compete this year - Good luck!

How to Sign up
Check the list below or go to the tournament's sign up page. If you have successfully registered your account on compete, then all available teams from your school will be listed there. If you still don’t see a team, create one and others from your school who navigate to this page will see your team!
Requirements:
  1. Be a full time college student in the United States or Canada
  2. Join up with 4 students from your school
  3. Play Heroes of the Storm
Disclaimer:
This list includes incomplete teams and is up to date as of 2/4/2018 at 7:00 pm PT - if you see your school on this list and want to sign up, try contacting the captain through Blizzard Battle.net. They may have other members in mind, so don’t take offense if they don’t add you!

What’s different this year?

We’ve heard your feedback and have made some reworks to our previous format and prizing that we believe will make your player experience significantly better.
  1. Updating Regional breakdowns: We split up teams into smaller groups to promote regional rivalries and play. Every match matters!
  2. Deeper Prizing: With the addition of Regional Championships, each region has its own prize pool. Players who don’t make the round of 64 Championship Bracket still have a shot at some sweet Blizzard Battle.net prizing, and will receive the participation prize of in-game digital items. This gives everyone more chances at more epic loot!
  3. New Regular Season Format: Teams will be assigned 2 weekly matches for the first five weeks of the tournament. One within their region and one outside of it. Teams will see how they stack up nationally, while at the same time fighting their regional rivals. The top overall performing teams will be placed into the Ro64 Championship bracket alongside each regional champion.
  4. Open Ladder: Last year we implemented our one team per school rule during the regular season. We still are upholding this rule, but are supporting an open ladder for multiple teams from the same school. We will run this parallel open division alongside the regular tournament for those players who want to get the digital participation prizing and still play relevant weekly matches. Think of this as your junior varsity league, where you can train up potential players to represent your school in the future.
tl;dr we’ve restructured prizing, promoted regional play, and are back on Twitch!

"Marching orders kept Buffalo cops from arresting child-molesting priests", BuffaloNews, May 19 2019

" Marching orders kept Buffalo cops from arresting child-molesting priests

(Photo in article : Some of the Catholic priests who served in the Buffalo Diocese and were accused of molesting children.)
By Dan HerbeckPublished May 19, 2019|Updated June 10, 2019
Hardly any of the more than 100 Buffalo area priests implicated as child molesters spent so much as one day in jail.
For years, most of their victims were too scared or embarrassed to make complaints.
But Buffalo Police had marching orders not to arrest Catholic priests, according to former vice squad Detective Martin Harrington and other retired officers. Instead they alerted the bishop’s office to any illegal activities.
“The department’s unwritten policy was that Catholic priests did not get arrested,” said Harrington, who investigated vice crimes for 17 years and retired in 1995. “I never had any experience with priests who molested children. I never heard of any priests molesting children. But we had priests we caught with pornography, or masturbating in the city parks, and our orders were to turn them over to the Buffalo Diocese. The diocese would deal with them … but they would not be arrested.”
The policy “only extended to Catholic priests,” Harrington recalled. “If we caught clergy from other religions, we arrested them.”
Harrington’s recollection was echoed by his former vice squad lieutenant, Martin Jurewicz.
“When I joined the vice squad in 1968, the department had just changed its policy on priests. You used to just let them go. Starting around 1968, when you picked up a priest, you had to call the bishop’s office,” recalled Jurewicz, who retired in 2002. “The bishop’s office would send someone to pick up the priest. No arrest was made. The diocese handled these problems.”
Harrington was one of several retired Buffalo officers who told The Buffalo News they don't recall the diocese ever reporting a priest to their department for molesting a child.
In 2003, a year after a clergy abuse scandal erupted in Boston, the Buffalo Diocese signed an agreement with district attorneys in Western New York promising for the first time to report to the prosecutors any allegations against priests involving sexual misconduct of minors.
But The News could find no record of Buffalo Police ever charging a priest with molesting a child in the past 50 years.
The News found only one Buffalo Diocese clergyman in the past 50 years criminally charged with molesting children anywhere in Western New York.
That was Rev. Gerald C. Jasinski, a former Lancaster priest arrested in 1986 by the Wyoming County Sheriff’s Department. Jasinski was accused of having sexual contact with two male teenagers – 15 and 18 – in a cabin. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor of attempted sexual abuse and was put on probation for five years.
Like Harrington, Jurewicz, the retired vice squad lieutenant, said he never knowingly turned loose a child molester. They said the priests they encountered were caught with pornography or in compromising positions with other adults.
“I’m Catholic. This is the way things were done,” Jurewicz said. “It’s easy to say in retrospect that we shouldn’t have done it that way.”
A former Buffalo Police captain, also retired, recalled an incident from the 1970s in South Buffalo, when a man and woman showed up at a police station to accuse a priest of molesting their son. Two detectives were assigned to investigate.
They turned up enough information to lend credence to the parents’ claim, the former captain said, but the priest was not arrested.
“All that happened is that he was transferred immediately to another parish,” said the retired captain, who spoke on the condition that his name would not be published. “It was a horrible thing. If this happened today, I would make sure it was handled differently. We should have been arresting these people.”
An internal Buffalo Diocese document obtained by The News states that Buffalo Police found the Rev. David Bialkowski in a parked car with a 16-year-old boy twice in one night in December 1994. Police filed no charges and found “no inappropriate activity” was occurring, according to the report, but police did report the incident to the diocese in February 1995.
Sixteen years after that, the Buffalo Diocese removed Bialkowski from ministry based on “a series of allegations” about his conduct, including the 1994 incident, the diocese document said.
Last year, Bialkowski was among the former and current priests that the diocese listed as having been “credibly accused” of sexual misconduct with minors.
According to Harrington and another retired officer, the department’s unwritten rule exempting Catholic priests from arrest was changed when R. Gil Kerlikowske became the Buffalo Police commissioner in 1994.
Kerlikowske said he doesn’t recall specifically giving that order. “But when I came into the department as an outsider, I made it clear that we were going to operate on a level playing field with situations like that,” he said. “No more special favors to certain groups of people."

Diocese didn't tell police

Kerlikowske said he believes the diocese kept complaints about molester priests “in house” rather than reporting such incidents to police.
During his nearly five years as commissioner, Kerlikowske said he never heard of a single allegation of any priest molesting a child in the city of Buffalo.
“Something that serious, if it had been reported to our detectives, would have come to my attention,” Kerlikowske, now living in Charleston, S.C., told The News. “I believe the church hierarchy would deal with these things themselves as opposed to going to police. It’s only in recent years that people are finding out that things were not being done properly.”
In response to a Freedom of Information Law request from The News, Buffalo Police checked their records to see if any incidents of sexual abuse or misconduct by priests have been reported in the past 10 years. Police said no such reports were made by Buffalo Diocese officials.
When asked by The News if there are records prior to 10 years ago of diocese officials reporting molester priests to the Buffalo Police Sex Offenses Squad, the department’s current leaders declined to comment.

Victims often didn't tell

Many of the victims waited years – and quite often, decades – to report their abuse to anyone. By the time they did report it, New York’s statute of limitations on criminal prosecutions made it impossible to press charges.
“In those days, no one could imagine that a priest would ever do such a thing. You were afraid that no one would believe you, and you’d be a laughing stock if you told anyone,” said Larry Kasper, 64, who alleges that he was molested as a teenager by two Buffalo priests who are now deceased, Linus Hennessy and William F.J. White. “Hennessy punched me between the legs one time, so hard that I started to cry. He told me, ‘If you ever tell anyone about this, this will only be the beginning of what happens to you.’ I never said a word to anyone for almost 50 years.”
Other sex abuse victims said they told church officials, but their accusations were ignored.
Christopher Szuflita, a former altar boy who alleges that he was repeatedly molested by Rev. Joseph Friel of West Seneca, remembers what happened in 1970 when he and his father went to tell their pastor, the late Msgr. Martin Ebner, about the sexual abuse.
“The pastor screamed at us, called me a liar, and threatened to have me and my father excommunicated from the Catholic Church,” said Szuflita, now 66.
The diocese did not publicly say Friel had been credibly accused of sexual abusing a minor until decades later, in 2018.
New York State laws made it easy for church officials to keep abuse complaints out of the public eye, because church officials are not “mandated reporters” who are required to report suspected child abuse, unlike school principals, guidance counselors, social workers and many other professionals who work with children.
“I was sexually assaulted by Father Michael Freeman, in 1980. I finally got my courage up and reported it to the Buffalo Diocese in 1984,” said Niagara Falls attorney Paul K. Barr. “I was reporting a felony sex crime. The diocese should have reported it immediately to the police."
State Assemblywoman Monica Piga Wallace, D-Lancaster, recently proposed a bill to make pastors and other church officials mandated reporters.
“We can only imagine how many incidents would have been uncovered if priests, bishops and all church officials were mandated reporters,” Wallace said. “If we don’t close this loophole, it’s going to happen many times again.”
The Buffalo Diocese would support making priests mandated reporters of child abuse "so long as the seal of the confessional continues to be respected as it has been for centuries," said Kathy Spangler, a spokeswoman for Bishop Richard J. Malone.

Some priests arrested

Buffalo Police did arrest a local priest in 1999, when the Rev. Benedict P. Barszcz was charged with exposing himself to two teenage girls on an East Side street corner. In that case, two Amherst Police detectives who happened to be in the neighborhood took Barszcz into custody and turned him over to Buffalo officers. Court records on the incident are sealed, making the outcome of the case a secret.
Between the years 1994 and 2005, several Buffalo Diocese priests were prosecuted criminally. A Depew priest was arrested by Town of Tonawanda police after two incidents in Ellicott Creek Park involving adult victims, one involving public lewdness and another involving sexual assault. A Lackawanna priest and a Buffalo priest were arrested on drug charges by federal agents. A priest from Varysburg in Wyoming County was sent to federal prison for possession of child pornography.
Western New York is not the only community where criminal convictions of molester priests are exceedingly rare.
Last year, Pennsylvania authorities completed a massive investigation into clergy abuse there. Attorney General Josh Shapiro(Jesuit trained) said the probe uncovered “credible evidence” that at least 301 priests abused more than 1,000 victims over a period of 70 years. Only three of those priests have been criminally prosecuted.
Shapiro blamed the lack of prosecutions on “a systematic cover-up” by senior church officials, but he also said some law enforcement officials helped to cover up the crimes.

Diocese deal with DAs

In 2003, the Buffalo Diocese signed an agreement with the district attorneys in the eight counties in the diocese, promising to report to the prosecutors any allegations against priests involving sexual misconduct of minors.
"The diocese has complied with its reporting duties," said Spangler, the bishop's spokeswoman.
"The diocese does not pressure police, district attorneys, or other law enforcement agencies not to prosecute claims of sexual abuse of minors," she wrote. "To the contrary, the diocese reports claims in accordance with the agreement, and the diocesan victim assistance coordinator encourages victim-survivors to report their abuse to law enforcement."
She suggested one reason why there have been very few prosecutions of priests in Western New York since 2000 is that there have been no allegations about priests sexually abusing children since then.
"In fact, of the 191 cases reported in our most recent annual audit, not one case involved abuse that occurred since 2000," she wrote.

Child Victims Act

The statute of limitations for prosecutions has been a great help to many child molesters in New York and other states, said Florina Altshiler, a Buffalo attorney and former sex crimes prosecutor.
The Child Victims Act that was passed by state lawmakers in January will help that situation somewhat, Altshiler said. Childhood victims of sexual abuse had until they were 23 to report the incidents to police. The new law allows prosecutions of cases that are reported before the victim turns 28.
But in cases all over the country, victims were so embarrassed and scared that many waited 30 years or longer before they reported the incidents to anyone, even their loved ones, said Stacey Benson, a Minnesota attorney who has represented dozens of clergy abuse victims.
Michael F. Whalen Jr., 53, waited nearly four decades to tell anyone Rev. Norbert F. Orsolits sexually abused him as a child.
“When Orsolits molested me, he told me, ‘Don’t tell your mom, don’t tell anyone about this,’ ” Whalen said. “He warned me that God would punish my mom. I believed him. I was scared.”"

Buffalo 2075

Some of you may remember me asking about world building for the 6th world.. well I created a history for Buffalo in 2075 starting from the 2000's.
IF YOU'RE PART OF ARTEMIS-UB, DO NOT READ THIS. Minor spoilers involved. You'll get a redacted version.
I'd appreciate any feedback from those who want to take the time to read it. If you just enjoy the read that's awesome too!
EDIT: I need to give lots of credit to The Shadowrun Supplemental #16, A Shadowtourist's Guide to Buffalo (https://the-eye.eu/public/Books/rpg.rem.uz/Shadowrun/Magazines/The%20Shadowrun%20Supplemental/TSS%20-%2016.pdf). Lots of inspiration came from that.
===== Introduction =====
Buffalo became a full-fledged city in 1832. The city began as a boomtown on the Erie Canal and it soon became a major hub for sea traffic and shipping by rail. The hard economic times of the 20th century soon slowed Buffalo's growth to a trickle, but with the new millennium came new growth and new opportunities for the Queen City. Greater Buffalo and Niagara Falls make up a large portion of the Toronto-BuffaloSyracuse Metropolitan Corridor (TBSM).
The city of Buffalo alone boasts over a million in population, with most of the expected facilities. Institutions of higher learning include the UCAS University at Buffalo and Buffalo State College. Numerous state, city and county parks and easy access to beaches on Lake Erie and Ontario provide yearround opportunities for sports and recreation.
Western New York fans enjoy seeing Sabres games during the season. Buffalo is also home to the Buffalo Bisons (AAA baseball), Buffalo Stampede (Combat Biking), and Buffalo Destroyers (Urban Brawl). Skiers and snowmobilers have up to a dozen excellent resorts for winter fun between 10 and 60 miles of the Greater Buffalo area.
