I agree. Everything you said there is true and the questions you ask are valid. I'm certainly not advocating that it be acceptable to make anybody do anything that they want or cause anybody harm. My goal would be that everybody who does something like this be punished. But what is the acceptable number of innocent people that we should support having their lives ruined and spending time in jail in efforts to punish those who actually do commit such an act?
You are absolutely correct. Unfortunately, we only discuss the high-profile cases because those are the ones where a payday is possible. All the other poor victims have less of an incentive to report it. Which, of course, is sad and unacceptable. However, if I report a burglary, it is more than likely true that it happened. No one is going to question it because I am not going to benefit from reporting it....... other than possible insurance fraud.
I’ll be totally honest with you, there isn’t ONE person here (can’t speak for TRUMP supporters) that believe rape is “ok”.
That's a real problem with criminal justice system overall. Sometimes innocent people are convicted and guilty freed. Because even with best intentions humans are imperfect. And clearly the more resources a person has the more likely to beat the rap whether innocent or guilty. And sometimes there are not good intentions, Scottsboro. My grandmother got her photo in Life magazine picketing the White House to protest execution of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg. And one convicted felon got elected president. The points you raise are valid. A friend of mine was convicted of rape despite witness testimony he was in another location. The victim was apparently raped but not by him. That we need to improve criminal justice system gets no argument from me. That the large majority of reported sexual assaults are not made up is also correct.
Our senior year of HS, a student claimed she was “raped” by a fellow student. He was a soccer star headed off to play in college. Got arrested, expelled and lost his scholarship all to find out a year later it didn’t happen. Ruined his life. Also my son’s sophomore year in HS a student wrote a list of boys names that were “raping” girls at partys…… a few of my son’s friends name were on this list. It got REAL messy…..luckily they came to the conclusion that she had made all this up. It was REAL bad. Parents conning down to the school for the boys….showing up at their houses. All over made up shit. It is a very “underreported” crime, but can be dangerously over reported?
My administration will solve all of these issues by requiring body cams to be worn by everyone at all times. Also everyone gets GPS tracker implants, video cams in every room of every house, and drone surveillance of all outdoor locations. Besides the peace of mind that comes with the extra security, citizens will never have to worry about not having video of those special moments! barfo
Mentally challenged, or blackout drunk? Not to imply that it makes what he allegedly did any better or worse, or that she bears any sort of responsibility whatsoever, just clarifying the alleged facts...
Why do I hate America? The reason is simple. At a very young age, against my wishes and certainly without my permission, my head was forced through some woman's vagina. Creating this sort of trauma for an innocent child could only happen in a country as violent and immoral as America. I hope you now understand my anger, and can agree that it is fully justified. barfo
Sadly, barfo, it can happen elsewhere. Not an American phenomenon. With boys, I mean adolescent, not young children, often a sexual assault by a woman is discounted because hey, lucky kid. Of course an adult man, different story. Very few people except Andrew Tait types, and how many followers does he have? say rape is groovy. But a lot of rape is bad but. Rape is bad but look how she dressed. Rape is bad but why did she go to his hotel room. Rape is bad but a woman can't kiss a man and then just change her mind.
