So the 17-year old girl passes out drunk.
These boys are creeps.
The criminal "justice" system has taught the boys what? Be more devious and don't take pictures next time?
What has "justice" taught her? Don't pass out drunk at the next party?
Courts cannot make this spoiled milk fresh again. Ever.
Well, that is really good advice for young ladies.
I read the article and saw this as well. Alcohol abuse is stupid. One cannot defend herself if she is unconscious. I hope she learns from this unfortunate episode. She could have been abused far worse.
Don't report crimes to the authorities.
If she had simply twitted the accusation of rape with their pictures. printed up a couple of thousand flyers and stuck them up all over town she would have been free of court penalties.
Oh they might have sued her if they wanted even more publicity'
1. We don’t know whether the girl passed out drunk or was drugged, just that the boys raped her while she was unconscious after she passed out.
2. The boys are rapists, not just creeps (by their own admission, when they plead guilty to rape).
3. The criminal justice system in combination with her Facebook page and a few brave media sources have publicly marked these rapists as rapists, which may help to protect the next girl who would otherwise drink a beer, half a beer, or a soda provided by one of these predators.
4. Justice has taught her that the government will not take care of her, but that she can act on her own and make the outcome a little better (perhaps a lot better) than if she left it in an incompetent judge’s hands.
5. There are a lot of things that courts cannot do, but acting for yourself can fix many of them. In general, going by experience with close friends who have been victims, a rape victim is much more fragile than another girl. If the victim is able to defend herself, injure or kill the rapist even after the fact, or publicly strike back in a manner that helps to restore her faith in her own ability to protect herself, that fragility will be MUCH less of a problem. I don’t know how fresh/spoiled this victim is in your eyes, but to me she looks like a girl who will come out of a nightmare stronger than she went in.
They are taught if the have connections then it’s okay.
