WHISTLE BLOWER ON THE PLANTATION HAS TRAGIC FLAW CONCEPT

In reading Greek literature and mythology there is always the main character with a Tragic Flaw. To simplify what I mean ... it goes like this ; person commit great deeds or exhibits certain character qualities ...then does something foolish to fall from grace. Odysseus, Theseus,  Oedipus, Achilles, Ajax, Diomedes, and Hector displayed certain character traits as admirable then succumbed to the Tragic Flaw. However at Connecticut Juvenile Training School there is some demented twist on this concept of Tragic Flaw being flaunted around. In the past several weeks media attention has focused on how supposedly out of control Youth Service Officers are dangerously restraining residents for no reason. There are Hartford Courant news articles about the subject, television coverage, and legislative hearings by lawmakers about "the problem" at CJTS. All of this information came to light when a certain employee of CJTS collected hundreds of documents during work and delivered this data to the Child Advocate Office. This person claimed to be upset about treatment of residents by uncaring peers. To anyone looking from the outside into CJTS this would seem to be an admirable quality from the Whistle Blower.

However if we look closely the shine on this Whistle Blower is tarnished or to put it another way full of pyrites [ fools gold as it is called ]. In the past this same Whistle Blower has been involved in numerous incidents that caused peers of color to file complaints about racial animus with Human Resources. Let us list all of the incidents that contribute to this YSO seeming to possess the Tragic Flaw.

1. At some point in the past being investigated for assault on a resident.
2. The use of state equipment without out permission and during working hours.
3. Posting racially charged notes about co-workers of color in various Units.
4. Verbally assaulting a black female co-worker to the point of tears.
4. Being terminated, rehired, fired, and then violating any restraints imposed by management as
     conditions for re-employment.
5. character assassination of a black female running for Union Representative.
6. Going to various Units to inform residents how not to obey directives of other YSOs.
7. Displaying erratic behaviors that led to being banned from CJTS property because staff / et al.,
    felt uncomfortable.

   After reading the list above any sentient person would have to assume there is a Tragic Flaw in this
   person's character. Why then is the YSO running all over CJTS facility claiming to be the Whistle
   Blower .... that went to the Child Advocate to expose alleged resident abuse by co-workers ?
  
   It is no secret that management used the Whistle Blower in the past as a Fifth Columnist to bring
   havoc on fellow YSOs. When CJTS management got all the use possible out of this self proclaimed
   Whistle Blower they jettisoned him to obscurity. Now in the second reincarnation of the Whistle
    Blower... the title of Saviour has been adopted and this person claims credit for the maelstrom at
    CJTS. One day the YSO is used as tool of management, then goes to goat, and finally hero.

   In the final analysis this person is some sort of hero... at least in their own mind.
