You make a valid point. I am guessing the contract Luke has with Keisha is probably ironclad enough to prevent her from doing that. That is only a wild guess, so it isn’t worth much.

Take another little chunk of my lung now mister!

Petty abuse has a great return on risk, like scratching an itch.

Yeah, someone who would leak someone’s medical records just to embarrass & violate them totally doesn’t sound like someone capable of rape.

She agreed to let him access the records under a confidentiality agreement, which is usually done so that there are consequences if you breach the confidentiality, like you said. But it appears that he is trying to get out of the agreement, hence the contract attorneys, and it appears that his main argument is that…

It was an important part of the show. They shouldn’t have given him a say on it. But he has every right to cooperate or not. He doesn’t owe us anything.

Clearly my opinion is in the minority, but honestly are we just completely abandoning the idea that prison is for rehabilitation? Or at least, it is supposed to be-the way the US has designed it makes it much more difficult.

This is a classic case of what is often known as battered wife syndrome (although the shooter is in this case the daughter). An abuser is killed while vulnerable because his victims feel there is no other escape - they can’t run because he’ll find them, they can’t go to the authorities because they won’t keep him in…

Stand your Ground is for white men. There was a prosecutor in Florida (IIRC) who explicitly said that the law shouldn’t count for domestic violence victims.

Can someone please explain to me why many states are totally cool with Stand Your Ground laws/using deadly force to “prevent death or great bodily harm” but this little girl faces life in prison for shooting someone who repeatedly threatened to kill his entire family with that very gun?

You know, after like 20+ years or so.....

As a Black woman, it always weirds me out when people say things like this, as I experience, see, read, and hear about people being openly racist to people who look like me every day, and know firsthand how strong anti-Black racism is in many Asian communities. This idea that other POC and some white people have that…

I *love* how they point to us Asians as “model minorities” and use us to show off how America is meritocracy, then turn around to remind us we’re not really “American”.

Asians are the last refuge of the American racist. The last people they can abuse with no consequences. It truly is amazing the level of racism that is deemed acceptable to direct at Asian people the equivalent of which would grant instant pariah status were it directed at any other minority group.

The fact that they…

It’s disturbing because Turner made no mention of rape as the catalyst for his rebellion. Scripture was. It’s doubly disturbing because Parker seems to have put in multiple rape scenes with little female agency in order to spur the black male avenger to action. It follows Parker’s statements of indicating that he…

They are not a boon for the insurance industry. They are a boon for the anesthesiologist. Many of the Anesthesia groups flat out refuse to negotiate a contract, even at rates 2-3 times what Medicare would pay. Why? Because they can typically get people to pay more by not being contracted and they don’t have to even…

I read that and IMMEDIATELY thought how paternalistic it sounded. “I’m not mad, just disappointed and sad.” I think it’s his subtle way of trying to insinuate that she fucked up.

It does not change the fact that in Dean Fabian’s initial letter closing the investigation he changed my statement from non-consensual to consensual [..].

Meanwhile colleges are quick to throw out mentally ill students, because that’s so much worse than raping someone!

IF NO ONE CAN BIDET DEMSELVES...
