abstract: In this talk I will briefly overview the results of LHC searches for supersymmetry and the reaction of the high energy phenomenology community to the absence of superpartners in the reach of the 8 TeV LHC. I will discuss specific results about searches for light stop squarks in two of the scenerios that are less constrained by the LHC: R-parity conserving SUSY with a compressed spectrum and baryonic R-parity Violation.
