"Neal Boortz proposed yesterday, because of the high percentage of rape allegations that are false that a law should be passed that if you accuse someone of rape falsely, you go to jail for the amount of time the wrongly accused would have served if convicted.

I like the idea and fully support it. And I would extend it to hate crimes as well."

I would extend it to every crime. And make false reporters of a crime have the same punishment as those whom they accused would have had if convicted. This would cut down on a lot of crimes that are reported "for profit," so to speak.

And I definitely think that this was a "for profit" crime report. Flame away if you want to...

I'm late this morning. Thanks for the ping, Smogger.

I'm reading the thread as fast as I can, but your post #46 stopped me dead in my tracks, Henrietta! BRAVO!

What a ridiculous idea. In our system of innocent until proven guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt" a significant number of criminals skate at trial due to lack of evidence, contaminated evidence, prosecutorial ineptitude, lack of witnesses or non-credible witnesses, ill-advised jurors, the ability of some accused to out spend the prosecution, etc...

That's the system. It often leaves legitimate victims feeling twice raped. You two want them to go to jail for it...what nonsense.

KB's street cred is up. Another women comes to his side.

How about making all these smears of the girl hate crimes and sending the posters to jail?
